	~~<big>~~Founding of the Order~~</big>~~

	According to lore, Adlethor was a stonemason by trade, one of the hundreds of Dwarven wage laborers contracted by [[Hadrian Teldandilion]] to construct the [[Sacellum Chancel]]. Several years into the project, the supply of ore and stone being imported from [[Gildenhome]] became interrupted by bandits. The losses were small at first, but within a year came to be great enough to paralyze the entire project. During one such stretch, on this 111th birthday, Adlethor was stricken with a vision. He rallied the Dwarven craftsmen and masons of [[Alexandria City]] (still largely depopulated and under construction) and led them against the bandits, during which time he was credited with a great many miracles and astounding feats. When the bandits were crushed, they found that - though the metal had long been sold - all of the stone remained. He returned to Alexandria City amid a great fete and much fanfare, and even granted audience with the [[Arch-Warden]].
