The Order of the Hieromancers was founded by [[Yalaini]] Empress [[Alaidain]] at the end of the [[Millennium War]] between [[Dericost]] on one side and the [[Yalaini]] and [[Haebrous]] on the other side. The Order constituted an elite cadre of battle mages to serve as her personal guard and household company. The first Matriarch of the Order was [[Kerelinas]].<ref name=Textbook>2001/02 [[Lonely In The World]] - [[A Text Book]]</ref><br>
War Magic is the chosen path of the Order. Aspirant members underwent a harsh training at the [[Ishilai Lyceum]]. The school was founded by Exarch [[Sephrena Mirenndae]], who later became a priestess of the [[Adjanite Sisterhood of Ithaenc]].<ref name=Textbook>2001/02 [[Lonely In The World]] - [[A Text Book]]</ref><br>

During the [[Empyrean Shadow War]], the Order failed to defend [[Caerlin I]] when the  [[Yalaini]] forces retreated from [[Haebrous]] and Caerlin was cursed by the Soulburn Plague inflicted upon him by [[Omadin]]. The Order was ordered to defend [[Tentael]] after the rest of the Yalaini had fled to Ireth Lassel.<ref name=Textbook>2001/02 [[Lonely In The World]] - [[A Text Book]]</ref><br>

During the [[Empyrean Shadow War]], the Order was often detached from their duties guarding the Palace to assist the efforts of the [[Council of Five]]. Lord [[Kerenth Portenaer]] of Atermore, a member of the Council, was himself promoted to his position from a humble Exarch of the Order.
During the invasion of [[Tentael]] by the shadow forces of [[Ilservian Palacost]], Black [[Ferah]] killed the Patriarch at that time, [[Taancraiti Omair]] and his wife [[Aleth]].<ref name=Textbook>2001/02 [[Lonely In The World]] - [[A Text Book]]</ref><br>

Ever since Emperor [[Kellin II]] converted to the [[Northern Church]], members had to swear to follow Nali [[Athanas]]' Rule of Life.<ref name=Textbook>2001/02 [[Lonely In The World]] - [[A Text Book]]</ref><br>

Members of [[The Order of Perfect Light]] were to be recruited from the ranks of the Order of Heiromancers and of the Medi.<ref>2003/05 [[Discoveries]] - [[Order of Perfect Light]]</ref>

One can still become a member of the Order of the Heiromancers and obtain their armor by doing the [[Hieromancer's Armor]] quest, starting in the old [[Ishilai Lyceum]].
