Order of the Radiant Heart

The Order of the Radiant Heart is a fraternity of lawful good paladins and clerics, who operate in and around the area of Amn. Members of the order devote themselves to fighting evil and injustice, maintaining peace and upholding the law. The Order has followers of many goodly deities in it's ranks, but mainly the gods Torm and Helm are venerated by the knights of the Order.

The Order's headquarters is located in the temple district of Athkatla, the capital city of Amn. It is an imposing building called the High Hall of the Radiant Heart, and it towers over even some of the largest temples in the city, as a monument to the Order's power and influence.

The Order of the Radiant Heart is currently led by Prelate Wessalen, an aging paladin. Other notable members include Sir Keldorn Firecam, a famed paladin of Torm, and Anomen Delryn, a warrior priest of Helm.

Games
In the game Baldur's Gate, the Order of the Radiant Heart sends the squire paladin Ajantis Ilvastarr north to deal with the bandit raids and iron crisis plaguing the sword coast. This mission is a kind of initiation test for Ajantis; if he succeeds, the Order agrees to take his promotion to knighthood into consideration.

The Order of the Radiant Heart features prominently in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, as a large section of the game takes place in Athkatla, the location of the Order's headquarters. It is possible for the player to perform tasks for the Order, and to even join the Order if the player character is a paladin. Both Keldorn Firecam and Anomen Delryn appear in the game, and can be recruited into the player's party.
