The Order of the Liberation is one of the more loosely organized orders, and exists as a direct response to the events surrounding the death of Lady Quay and the subsequent violence that broke out within the Order of the Elucidation. In the Era of the Adversary, year 89, the Order of the Liberation was formed by twenty-two Knights formerly of the Elucidation.

After escaping the Elucidation's violent civil war, and believing at the time that their former order was soon to collapse under the weight of its own suspicions, paranoias, and zealotry, the founders of the Order of the Liberation came together with one purpose - to ensure that the basic teachings and techniques developed by the Congregation of Motive Knights were preserved. To that end they organized their Order quite loosely to prevent wide-spread disruption, and for some time did not even refer to it as an Order at all, but rather simply as "the Correspondence" in reference to their ongoing exchange of coded letters.

At its core, the mission of the Liberation is to preserve as much knowledge as possible, including documenting and preserving records of other Orders. However, following conflicts with the Elucidation, the Liberation brokered a peace under which the Liberation vowed to destroy all copies of the secret techniques and information of other Orders, and vowed never again to collect or catalog such things. Whether or not the Liberation has remained true to those vows, only the Liberation itself can say - though the very idea that the entire modern Order of the Liberation abides by any singular treaty or leadership is laughable. More than likely the Liberation has, in one or two of its most well-protected vaults, quite the collection of testimonials, instructions, and analyses of its fellow Orders.

Nevertheless, once the peace was in place, the Order of the Liberation was free of scrutiny for quite some time as it made a concerted effort in its early decades to make as little nuisance of itself as possible. Accordingly, the Liberation has now spent over two hundred years successfully collecting, copying, and distributing important knowledge throughout a growing network of hidden libraries and storehouses. This included some of the most advanced studies on souls, on demonology, and even on the nature of humanoids and other natural creatures.

By secretly distributing copies of this knowledge to loosely-affiliated chapters and cells, the Order of the Liberation has become an indelible and invaluable part of the landscape of resistance. The Liberation may not be known for striking vital blows or fielding powerful warriors, but its members have supported some of the most effective actions against the Adversary in the last fifty years through their so-called "Order of Librarians" (a term used endearingly as often as it is pejoratively).
