The Order of the Rosy Cross of Truth
The Order of the Rosy Cross of Truth or the Order of the Rosy Cruciform, was founded in 587 CY, after the Greyhawk Wars. It was founded by Ormus, a former priest of Rao, recently converted to Saint Cuthbert's faith. When Ormus discovered an evil warlord had been corrupted by a devil in disguise, he founded the new order to track down other devils living among mortals in disguise. The order has three branches: La Croix-Vert (the priestly branch), La Croix-Blanc (the military branch), and La Croix-Bleu (wizardly/arcane branch). There is also a clandestine, undisclosed branch known as La Coix-Noir (the rogue/thief secret strike force.) The order is based at l’Abbaye de la Croix Glorieuse in the Vesve Forest.
The order enlarged and strengthened a great deal from 587 - 591 CY and began to expand into Gran March, the Principality of Ulek and County of Ulek, as well as the Duchy of Urnst and County of Urnst.

About
There was an article years ago on sorcerous societies of the Flanaess, including the Zashassir of Ekbir, the Sign of the Red Talisman in Zeif, the Artificers of Rel Deven, and the Silver Consortium of Dyvers & Verbobonc. If you source Living Greyhawk, they went a bit too Harry Potter and started sticking wizard schools in every major town and city but there are quite a few interesting ones, like Syrloch, the battle mage college in Gran March. Canonfire probably has useful information.
