The Order of the Staff, or simply The Staff, is the most ancient, enduring, and powerful entity of the Server, it was established to enforce the will of God. Imbued with sacred powers, they are part of the same force that locks chests, furnaces, and prevents permanent death. Members of this order can also banish those who would defy the most basic laws of the land.

In The Age of Innocence

The Order of the Staff is an organization that pre-dates all others. In the earliest times during the Era of Innocence, when the first lands were rendered into existence, the Mandate of Heaven was brought down to the First Administrator of the Peace, Alphabernd, that

'The people should be ruled for the sake of peace and Order.  Thus not by the blade, but by the Staff in fair, resolute conscience.'

Upon accepting this divine mandate, Alphabernd was imbued with mystic powers (such as flight, mastery over all matter, time, and even invulnerability), to aide in his heavenly appointment and was permitted to share a diluted form of it with other earthly vessels deemed worthy, should they swear fidelity. It was after recruiting these vassals that Alphabernd indoctrinated the union as 'The Order of the Staff' to appeal to, and reinforce, the statement and intention of The Divine's will.

The Loss of AlphaBernd

In the realm of Mortals, or the Server (a name in reference to the duty of mortals), in time all things come to pass the threshold of what is into what was; AlphaBernd was not exempted from this fate. In the chaos that followed a stranger arouse to claim the title of Administrator, whose name was omgmac. However, soon Omgmac proved to be unfit for the position, and by the will of God, was expelled from the Order. Te3, or Tetete as they are sometimes known, then assumed the mandate to the Divine's blessing.

Te3 & the Age of Oceania

[spoiler] it sucked [/spoiler]

The Staff hold few territories specifically to their name, but instead maintain public spaces for the good of all. Though some individuals of the Staff have made their own settlements which will not be listed here.

Oldspawn

Oldspawn (lit. 'Old' + 'Spawn', the dated place of spawning) was the first territory of the new world Oceania, created by the staff as a sanctuary for the displaced peoples. Where the first Holy Temple of the Staff was erected so that those who die might not remain forever dead.

The Arcology

Sometimes referred to as 'new spawn' it is one large, continuous glass dome structure featuring a natural, luscious landscape amongst a frozen tundra. It is also the location of the Server Archives.

On many occasions The Staff has been accused of violating their mandate and abusing the powers vested in them, though this is seldom more than the spiteful talk of those who would violate the Divine's will and be punished. Besides day-to-day enforcement of the peace, The Staff sometimes votes on issues petitioned by the people of the world.

In terms of economics, innately by their blessed abilities the Staff have ascended beyond the need of pursuing material things, as they have an unlimited mastery of the materials of this world.

The Staff are first and foremost sworn to uphold the Peace and Goodwill on the Server, however during the lax hours of need some undertake great building projects for public and private use, aide nations and even help players.
