The Order of the Flaming Rose are the Church of the Eternal Fire the Infantry Arm and supporting antagonists in the Witcher franchise.
Description[]
It is a religious order of knights founded by the Nordlings in 1268 for the purpose of combating evil that threatens people and spreading the faith of eternal fire, operating in Temeria, Aedirn, Kaedwen and Redania. After the end of the Second Northern War, it previously functioned as the Order of the White Rose, but was replaced by Jacques de Aldersberg after the previous grandmaster died in the war.
History[]
The Order of the Flaming Rose was established after the war with Nilfgaard by a charismatic leader, Jacques de Aldersberg, on the foundations of the deteriorating Order of the White Rose. De Aldersberg's aim was to protect the people from monsters and other evils, and to promote belief in the Eternal Fire. The Order's headquarters are located in Vizima, with numerous commanderies spread across the whole of Temeria.
The book "People of the Shadows" reveals some secrets regarding the genesis of the Order of the Flaming Rose. According to the author, the Order was established with the help of the Redanian intelligence service to counter the sorceresses, who were organizing themselves and growing in power. Furthermore, the author believes that Redanian intentionally refused to grant a charter to the main commandery of the Order, thus preventing a strong organization from planting roots within the country's borders.
According to the author of "The Aftermath of the War", the Order of the Flaming Rose is underestimated and treated too lightly. The Grand Master may be calculating and cunning, but he is above all a fanatic. Furthermore, the author believes that the Order aims to gain as much power over people's souls as possible. To achieve this, the Order wages secret wars with other clandestine organizations, such as the one founded by the sorceresses. The persecution of witches and freaks is but a prelude to the real attack, which will be directed against the sorceresses.
