Order Powers (FiD)

Starfox's Blades in the Dark fan page

Main Page is Powers Order is the power the status quo, of perfection, of loyalty, indoctrination, and dogma.

Order is the system of the world; the ordered universe of space and matter we are all familiar with. Order powers restore normality, negate randomness, negates powers, and makes mechanisms and people behave as expected. It is associated with what science calls low entropy; a completely ordered universe has no content but enormous potential.

Order attacks come in two kinds. One is regular weapons. Your weapons wont fail them as long as you use them properly for a proper cause. The other is exorcism. Order is powerful in banishing unnatural creatures. These two are often combined into potent weapons blessed to defeat the supernatural.

Known as virtues, creatures of order represent different tasks, functions, skills, and moral values. Get the right one and it will perform to perfection. Get the wrong one, and you have a very insistent pedantic.
