Order of the Jade Blade

The Order of the Jade Blade was an organization based in Loudwater and the personal agents of High Lord Kalahar Twohands in the 1370s DR. It was likely named after the famous jade-green bastard sword wielded by Kalahar.

History
The Order of the Jade Blade had been only recently formed by the.

In that year, Kalahar's five-year-old son, Velvred, was kidnapped and taken into one of the Rensha tombs beneath the High Lord's Hall. Kalahar himself was warned by divinations that if he were to enter the tombs he would surely be killed. Therefore, he requested an adventuring party go into the tombs in his stead to either reconnoiter the area or rescue Velvred. If they rescued Velvred from the wererat bandit lord known as the Hark and returned, then Kalahar would induct them all into the Order of the Jade Blade. Similarly, adventurers who saved Nardine Twohands were also inducted. These heroes would have Kalahar's trust thereafter.

On Eleint 23, Jade Blade members were among the Loudwater forces mustered by Stedd Rein for an assault on the Dungeon of the Hark to root out the Hark and his bandits.

Members of the Order became heroes of the city and later of Waterdeep as well before returning to Loudwater to help save it from a Zhentarim invasion.

Activities
Members of the Order of the Jade Blade served the needs of High Lord Kalahar Twohands in whatever problems the town faced. They could request an audience with him if needed, albeit at the lord's convenience. In general, they had an obligation to aid and protect the town and its citizens from such things as bandits.

Other important people in Loudwater could request members to aid them in important tasks, such as when Prior Athosar sought help finding a cure to the slimy doom disease.
