Characters of The Order of The Stick - "The Order of The Scribble"

"The Order of The Scribble"

The Order of the Scribble was an adventuring group founded by Soon Kim and Lirian after Kim's wife was killed by The Snarl. They adventured to contain the Snarl and to defeat those that would release it. Eventually, they constructed five magical Gates to seal it in its weakening prison. In the battle to seal the final rift, one of the members was killed, leading to a breakdown in the group dynamic. To prevent outright bloodshed between them, they agreed to retire and each protect one of the five Gates in whatever manner they saw fit, forswearing interference in each other's affairs.

The main plot of The Order of the Stick revolves around these Gates and the fate of the members of the Order of the Scribble. Though the strip is set more than 50 years after their retirement, the characters of The Order of the Scribble do not usually take a direct impact on the action of the comic.

The group's official name was only mentioned in the title of the strip in which they were formally introduced. The name refers to the crayon-drawn style of the story arc that focuses on the group.

Famous quotes containing the word order:

    The foot of the heavenly ladder, which we have got to mount in order to reach the higher regions, has to be fixed firmly in every-day life, so that everybody may be able to climb up it along with us. When people then find that they have got climbed up higher and higher into a marvelous, magical world, they will feel that that realm, too, belongs to their ordinary, every-day life, and is, merely, the wonderful and most glorious part thereof.
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
