A few ideas concerning the Orders, please take these as simple brainstorming ideas. If you have a different idea, or additional ideas, please share them with us.
The Order of the White Rose – I like this idea a lot. An Order this large, however, makes me feel like they would have stronger ties to the Emperor than the king of Vurtal. Otherwise, it seems like their strength would make the Emperor weary to the point he'd want to reduce the Order's strength. This seems like a great seed for future plot. Since there is a lot of plot potential in how you have it currently setup, I feel like we should slowly reveal the details of the Order. Perhaps delay it until you bring Olivia or Cordelia, whichever you're paired with, back to Vurtal. If we can show that Jexxal and Archer have formed a strong friendship, it might be believable for Archer and his partner to come to Vurtal in order to help set things right.
Order of Kyanite – I would actually like to see the Order of Kyanite answer directly to the Emperor. It would make sense as to why the Order isn't directly responsible for defending Kandrak. They could be the Emperor's hand within the country, granted a good deal of independence, but are still expected to follow the laws of the Kandrak. Being directly tied to the Emperor would explain the Order's wealth, and could help explain why the Order recruits at a young age and the other requirements on its members.
Magic is the realm of the Glimmermaids, though it would behoove the Order of Kyanite to have theoretical knowledge in magic. Their presence amongst wells of magic would be tolerated, but they wouldn't remain in the Order's control nor would any holy artifacts. Of course, there are always exceptions. The conflict of interest between the Glimmermaids and the Order of Kyanite is something we could play with during the festivities and further into the story.
