Summary
The North Star Order is an order of noble fighters and knights from all various backgrounds. Its mission is "to instill a sense of chivalry, camaraderie, achievement and honor to those who so choose to join it. The Order will establish a ranked structure both for leadership as well as regular forces, whose focus will be primarily the martial studies inside BMCS." It was originally founded by Carden Coburn and Kaladin in an attempt to create an outpost for potential fighters in Camp Pendleton, California. The group functions as an egalitarian democracy where no one has any more say in the group than the others. It previously served the realm of Andor, but as of 2016, relocated to the fledgling realm of Blackfen, where it served as a foundational structure to aid the growth of the realm. The unit hopes to serve as a knightly representation for southern Indiana, a typically under-served area.

Mission Statement
Per the North Star Order Unit Charter:
It is the mission of the North Star Order, herein referred to as The Order, to instill a sense of chivalry, camaraderie, achievement and honor to those who so choose to join it. The Order will establish a ranked structure both for ordained knighthood as well as regular fighters, whose focus will be primarily the martial studies inside BMCS as well as artificing weaponry according to the Book of War.
Founding
April 23, 2014
The group was founded after some initial thought of roughly two weeks. The two founders talked with those who displayed interest and thus the unit was formed. It would be a place where people living in the area (Camp Pendleton) could come to learn, build and train together. The preliminary group was established with four members and a potential of several more.
Relocation
June 15, 2016
After the departure of Kaladin and Carden Coburn from Camp Pendleton, leadership was handed over to Carden, who relocated to southern Indiana. After a hiatus of three years, the unit was revitalized.
