Order of Whispers

“

It doesn't matter where the dragons came from, or why they awakened. The secrets we discover will help us send them back to hell.

— Riel Darkwater

The Order of Whispers is a secretive ancient order with roots in Elona. They work behind the scenes to safeguard the world against the rise of the Elder Dragons and free and restore the troubled Elona. Its members, often spies, thieves and agents, operate within every Tyrian nation, sometimes to the highest levels. Their extensive network is able to gather information from everywhere, even areas blocked to travel, such as Elona which has long since been isolated under Palawa Joko's rule.

The Order of Whispers is one of three multi-racial orders which players join as part of their personal story. They believe there is no way to physically destroy or negotiate with the Elder Dragons so the only way to counter them is to find a way to send them back to sleep.

Like the other orders, it has a base inside each major city. Prior to the destruction of Lion's Arch, the order also had a hidden base in the sewers of the city.

Personal story involvement[edit]

Players may join the Order during their personal story at the end of the level 30 story mission. Joining the Order of Whispers leads you to work with Lightbringer Tybalt Leftpaw.

Armor and weapons[edit]

Both armor and weapons can be purchased only by characters in the order.
Whisper's Secret armor can be purchased from Armor Requisitioner Betje in the Chantry of Secrets.
Whisper's Secret weapons can be purchased from Weapon Requisitioner Illiam in the Chantry of Secrets.

Reason: Flesh out more possibly? Add PS involvement

Formed by the elite bodyguard of Warmarshal Turai of Elona after the fall of Palawa Joko, they were tasked with keeping the undead lord sealed beneath the sands of Elona for eternity; however, it was necessary for them to let him escape so Warmarshal Varesh could be defeated.

They played an important part during the event of Nightfall in 1075 AE through aiding Kormir's ascension to godhood and helping maintain the Realm of Torment alongside the Forgotten.

Since then, Joko has returned and conquered Elona. Despite this, the Order has spread beyond Elonian borders, quietly expanding its ranks. They were the only group other than the dwarves to have any knowledge of the Elder Dragons prior to their awakening and worked to warn others of the Elder Dragons' awakening though they were ignored.

At some point during Joko's rule, a splinter group of the Order of Whispers known as the Order of Shadows formed because of differences in their ultimate goals.

Ranks[edit]

The Order of Whispers has several ranks in its organization.

Initiate: new members, often found in camps
Agents: most prominent rank, the ones who go out undercover amongst other organizations

Preceptors: the highest rank underneath the Master of Whispers. At the moment, these are Doern Velazquez, Halvora Snapdagger and Valenze.
Master of Whispers: the leader of the Order of Whispers, whose identity is often unknown to most members. Current leader is Riel Darkwater.

set 1	set 2
I fully expect us to expire here. I'm terrified to close my eyes out here. Is it luck or skill keeping you alive? Rata Sum is so close, yet so far. This foliage is conspiring to kill us.	—
Any word from the outside? Finally found a place worse than Orr. Gotta find the rest of my detail. Some weird hylek out here. We should burn the damn jungle to the ground.	—
Can't believe I'm still alive. Have you found a way out? This jungle is going to kill us. Watch your back out here. We're not getting out of here, are we?	I've never seen anything like this place. I've had enough. Not long until we finish this. May Balthazar preserve us all. We're going to smash Mordremoth but good.
I'll break Mordremoth with my bare hands. I'm just glad to have survived the crash. I wonder if the Spirits will hear me out here. This will make for an epic saga. Too hot here. Not enough wind.	—
First the Pale Tree, now this. I swear, I won't harm you. I'm fine. Please believe me. Please, don't hurt me. No one trusts me anymore.	First the Pale Tree, now this. I swear, I won't harm you. I'm fine. Please believe me. You can trust me. No one trusts me anymore.
