Structure

Lightbringer: There are exactly three Lightbringers, and they head the military. A Lightbringer is a knight that's unparalleled in battle skill and accomplishments, sometimes to a legendary standard.

Radiant: The Radiants are the generals of the Order - they oversee large-scale operations, often commanding multiple legions.

Paladin: At the level of Paladin, a knight is expected to be one of the finest combatants in the country, serving the Order as a commander.

Exarch Knight: An Exarch Knight leads a team of magi, acting as a mentor and a leader.

Knight: Completing their training as an Initate, the Knight has been inducted into the Order and is an official member.

Cadet: A knight-in-training, a magi. It usually takes around three years before an Initiate graduates into knighthood. This induction phase may also occur as a programme in the academy.

Soldier: A non-magi serving the military, or alternatively, a guild member that's not an official member but has volunteered. There are no more than 10,000 core members in the Order of the First Light, but there are roughly 80,000 soldiers that make up various less prestigious groups.
