The Order of Bones was founded by the Necromancer Norman the Grey Magistrate of the Silver Skull Society in 17 BTA (before the arrival); He founded them as a Secret Society for Necromancers, Mages, Witches, and Wizards those who have been blessed with the Mystical Arts. The area they were founded in had many Cults and Secret Societies each of them controlled vast swaths of land and resources they all had their own agendas their goals and over the course of 20 years wars over land and resources disputes spawned close nit Alliances many of these Alliances held monopolies over certain territories or were made to fight off a stronger enemy because an enemy of my enemy is my friend, but these shady Alliances didn't last long for each Cult or Secret Society quietly betrayed the other in order to gain more power or access to the other resources the constant wars and internal fighting weakened them this angered the populace both living and undead who were growing tired of the constant wars. Norman was born eventually through manipulation/assassinations/and exiling weaker cults they were able to gain vast territories and resources and were able to increase their military capabilities.
 Over the next 30 years he accomplished the impossible uniting the Cults and Secret Societies under one Banner the Banner of the Order of Bones he also created the Council of Mages it was then he took the title of Magistrate. During his training he discovered a new way to meld his Phylactery into other beings, he may have united the various Cults and Secret Societies but he was still wary they could not be trusted for they were still who plotted against him and wanted to relieve him of his power, so he decided to place his Phylactery in a body of untold power he placed it within the body of the dead Dragon Lucian the Sky Destroyer but he did more than that he ordered the construction of the Nemesis Program a Program designed in the event of his untimely death and the destruction of the Phylactery his soul would be transferred into a series of Copies hidden in a hidden Fortress outside of the Order of Bones. But during his reign he created Ebony Point the Capital of the Order of Bones in the Center of the Capital, they placed the Gem of the Anti-Life the Gem of the Anti-Life was a gem filled with the souls of the living since Ebony Point it will be used a defense structure with the ability to drain the living of their life force as well as create barriers to protect itself and itself. Underneath the City is the All Source a pool of Mana that supplies the City with Mana but there is a catch all members of the city must have the Rune of gathering, this will allow them to tap into the All Source as well that was created by sacrificing the Souls of their slaves and prisoners.
They have a Hybrid Religion called Mystic Force they began teaching their mystical students at academies called the Necropolis, giant pyramid structures they were created in 40 BTA. For every Cult they added to their fold they would incorporate some of the Cults Religious beliefs or culture, as long as it does not contradict the Cults Religion and its meaning for its followers as well as contradict Mystic Force. They allowed some Cults to practice their own Religion but they deemed their material non-canon to the Main Cult’s source material. Eventually the Order grew in strength and soon they had dreams of conquest they started to build an army of the undead in 78 BTA they started a campaign to conquer the villages and towns nearby killing many, those they didn’t kill they enslaved them so they would have a workforce that would make their undead army weapons and armor. Their hunger for knowledge, artifacts, and territory made them at odds with many other villagers, but soon they met their match the war against the Majestic League of Corinth started in 90 BTA after the death of their Sultan during First Contact for 15 years they waged a war against them both sides were suffering immense casualties for years they were at a stalemate.
They also had a hunger for hidden knowledge and lost artifacts they sent many privately owned expeditionary forces around the globe to find more hidden knowledge this led to a Golden Age of knowledge and learning many schools appeared throughout the lands to teach many the ways of the mystical arts this is when they discovered portions to the Book of Kings. During one of their expeditions, In 104 BTA when the Order of Bones learned of the arrival of the Brothers due to reading the fragments of the Book of Kings. With the knowledge of the Book of Kings they were able to predict creation of the Conspiracy Imperium and the threat it posed to the Order of Bones in order to stop the creation of the Imperium the Order began to hire Mercenaries/Pirates and Terrorists to kill the invaders but they all failed the Imperium was stronger than they realized. They also discovered the Remnants of the Rebel Alliance and Rogue Squadron now calling themselves CorSec in their last remaining Fortress Port called Avalon they explained to the Order of Bones the power of the Conspiracy Empire and how they arrived in this World now they are working together exchanging technology and resources before they declare war on the Imperium. The war against the Majestic League was draining the Order of Bones for resources soon they signed a peace treaty with the Majestic League of Corinth in 105 ATA (after the arrival) eventually over time the Majestic League of Corinth will ally themselves with the Order of Bones, but the Alliance is very shaky distrust amongst the two have prevented them from fully utilizing their superior numbers and resources, it has caused many problems the distrust the had had resulted in skirmishes between the two not only that but each side sabotaged the others attempt to fight off the Conspiracy Imperium through spying or by destroying war plants.
	The war between the two has caused a massive rift between the two many still harbor negative feeling for the other, the war which lasted 15 years has killed many on both sides and has caused widespread death and destruction, an entire generation was lost due to the previous war not many on both sides are quick to forgive such carnage and loss of life even though the Order of Bones values and Worships death but they believed too much death was a bad thing for they believed in a balanced between the two would cause chaos to not only the world but to the natural order of things. But with the emergence of the CIS or Counter Imperial Separatists one would think the Order of Bones would try to ally themselves with them due to the having the same goal, but no the Order of Bones does not trust the Testificates Father Ned and Ted as well as ”Lebowski”, due to their connection with the Brothers and Sly not only that but they did not respect magic nor did they accept the treaties proposed by the Order of Bones eventually tensions mounted between the two until was war was announced.
