[b]Zaandi[/b]
The Zaandi are an ancient Order of Sorcerers and Sorceresses who educate magic-users in both the magic arts and how to coexist with the societies of the world. Their Founder, Zaan was a great Archmage, who is said to still be alive today after discovering the secrets of resurrection, secrets of death, and immortality, after existing for over four thousand years since the Order's foundation. Zaandi once followed the major God of the Humans, until his death. They believe there is a time when he can be resurrected. Zaandi's are infamous from taking magical arts from all over the world and combining them into their order's vast archives of spells and other magical practices. They are a semi-secret society, who have both a low order, of those who give to charity, fund orphanages, lay men, and men of science, a second order, who are generally aristocrats, magicians, and people from the higher eschelons of society, and the Third Order. . . who are high members of Aristocracy, Kings, Wizards, sometimes even the head of a religion. Everyone knows of the first two Orders, very few know about the last and most prominent Order. 

Exact traditions of the Zaandi differ from region to region, but there are some universal laws.

Those who follow the Zaandi's teachings must uphold themselves with honor in any society, be upstanding citizens through either charity or at least reputable conduct, and adhere to several tenants of the Zanndi Order. 
- Monogamy. (Or, at least, they cannot be cheating bastards). Monogamy, or at least faithfulness to a wife or husband.
- Respect: (Specifically to elders, and their own family).
- Respect of other people's property. 
- Refraining from aggressive violence. (Beating people who are just being annoying is against the rules of the Order, likewise, murder is punishable severely).
- Honor the reverance of life. (In other words, murder, etcetera, is forbidden).
- Seek not revenge. (Sort of a lenient rule. This is almost always enforced if there is some kind of disproportionate retribution inflicted on an enemy. For example, someone who rapes a man's wife and then kills her is acceptable for execution, but going after that man, and killing his wife and children, burning his house down, etcetera etcetera, is punishable by execution also).
- Usage of the Dark Arts is always forbidden. (Use of the Dark Arts is always punishable, depending on the severity and understanding of the offence. Using it to do something good is still illegal and immoral in the eyes of the Order but understandable, such as preventing murder, preventing horrible catastrophes, so punishments range from comfortable imprisonment, fines, etcetera, to outright execution).
