Order is what you see when you look at Barrier Pass from the south — and White Crystal is the face that makes sure of it. The largest of the three sects, it furnishes most of the fortress's guardians and layfolk, and it is the one your PCs will meet first.
Its few monks often lead patrols, mete out justice in nearby farms, and hunt monsters. It is led by Oparma Div, one of The Three Honored Sages, whose instinct is to tame chaos. White Crystal is the sect most likely to collide with southerners, farm valleys, escaped criminals, or anyone disrupting the fortress's order.
