The Order	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Order is a 2019 horror/drama Netflix original series featuring western esoteric traditions and myths, most notably werewolves.In modern times, in Belgrave University, there lies a branch of the Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose, a cult that practices magic. Jack Morton (Jake Manley), a freshman, seeks to join this order to take down its head, the Grand Magus Edward Coventry (Max Martini). Not long after being accepted, Jack is forcefully inducted into another secret organization: the Knights of Saint Christopher, a pack of vigilante werewolves dedicated to protecting the world from evil magics by any means necessary - especially the violent ones. As the Knights' inside man, Jack struggles between two conflicting desires; protecting the innocent from the sociopaths among mages - especially Coventry - and learning how to channel magic for the forces of good with his love interest Alyssa. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't have enough time to sort out his issues - The Order has found something fundamentally wrong, and they're pulling out the stops to unleash it.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The series presents the viewers with ethical dilemmas along the way, showing situations that put 'good' at odds with 'nice', making the characters seem flawed, their choices questionable, but still maintaining the audience's sympathy for the characters, since there is no clear right choice much of the time.Season 2 premiered June 18th, 2020. It has been announced that the series will not be renewed for a third season.No relation to the comic series of the same name. Or the film of the same name. Or the video game of the same name. It is, however, related to the trope of the same name.

The Order / int_270c1778	comment	Blood Magic: The magic of the Order requires a cost, typically paid with the caster's own blood. This is portrayed as the "good" version, with darker magic being "cost free," because it kills its targets and that is the cost in and of itself. Notably, if you don't pay the cost yourself, someone else pays it for you, with a minor spell used "free" causing the target to have an immediately minor, but painful, accident. Some really serious magic requires Human Sacrifice, and the Order doesn't seem to be all that bothered by this.

Where is Alpha, and what happened to his pelt? How does this tie in with the "dumb luck" that resulted in Jurgen Sawyer being trapped in the Vade Maecum?Resolutoion Alpha was hosted by Salvador Grant's father, and she took up the hide after him, and started Praxis to bring magic to all the people. Silverback is free of the Vade Maecum and needs a new champion, since Jack is now bonded to Midnight.Resolution Jack rebonds with Silverback accidentally, then has to choose as the two hides are killing him. He chooses Silverback. Vera reclaims all the "confiscated" magical books and artifacts from the Knights, as well as everything from Edward's house.Resolution The Knights steal these back, along with several of the Order's own potent artifacts, only to have the lot stolen out from under them by Praxis. How much of the Knights' memories did the Order take? And the Knights had figured out how to reverse that process; do they still possess that capability and will they figure out to use it?Resolution Vera assigns Order handlers to the amnesiac wolves to try and bring them into the Order, but the Knights are remembering things and need fresh mindwipes every few days. Alyssa eventually gives up and restores their memories, the Knights brew a potion to protect their minds from ever being tampered with again, and begin working with the Order. For Season Two: Gabrielle is still bonded to Midnight, and has just killed Alyssa. Based on her reaction afterward, she'll have a hard time coming to grips with it. Related, Randall killed Kepler for the sacrifice to rescue Lilith from Hell. These both set up many potential conflicts for a following season. Lilith was rescued from Hell, but has become a demon. Vera had her magic stolen and never returned by Alyssa, but has Hamish literally at her side, boding a large and delicate shake-up for the Order's power structure going forward. Salvador, host to Alpha, is dead, and Alyssa stated that Alpha's locker was in a safe place, awaiting a worthy champion. Where is that safe place, who knows about it, and who will Alpha choose to bond with next. . . and will he be an ally or enemy of the Knights of the Blue Rose? Notably, Alyssa evaded answering when Jack asked if Alpha's pelt had chosen her. . . And the last shot of the season is Jack carrying Alyssa's dead body, with the Vade Maecum, into the woods. Alyssa broke her contract with the book to restore the proper functionality of her magic, but the lingering nature of the shot hints that their stories aren't quite over yet. Despite the fact that both their leaders are dead, Praxis is still out there, has enough members to launch multiple simultaneous attacks on Order chapters all over, and has some two-thirds of the magical treasures of the Knights of St. Christopher, Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose, and Esoteric Sons of Prometheus. They've been delt a harsh blow, but it seems very unlikely they'll go down forever without a fight. Alyssa didn't make it out of the Temple with the Fors Factorum. . . but she did take a picture of at least part of it with her cell phone. Is that picture only on her phone, or did she send it to someone? Or several someones?

At their best, the Order and Knights are Good Is Not Nice. Exemplified when Jack's Ethics professor puts moral dilemmas in the simplest possible terms: don't act now based on what might eventually come of it later, ask yourself if, right now, a given action is wrong or right.

The Order / int_787c6068	comment	My Significance Sense Is Tingling: The werewolves hear a high-pitched ringing noise whenever magic is being performed. For really big and powerful spells, the ringing is sharper and lasts much longer than usual. Though it doesn't seem to happen every time. . . Vera and Edward routinely open and close the doors of the temple with magic, and many other spells pass without the werewolves being any the wiser, indicating it may need to be specific kinds of spells. Also, as Jack learns to use magic himself it stops causing a ringing (for him and for other werewolves), and when Alyssa uses a tracking spell to find Randall the werewolves are a bit intrigued that they didn't hear ringing, but don't really pause to question why. Season Two advances two separate and potentially complimentary hypotheses: that werewolves only hear ringing in response to "bad" magic (i.e., magic meant to harm or kill), or that magic performed by those officially "allied" with the wolves won't trigger ringing. Neither one is explicitly confirmed, though evidence for both exists.

Among those artifacts are specially-enchanted sickles to deal with Demon Emperor Rogwan, who just so happens to be about to make his every-27-year appearance. While the Knights fully intend to "lend" the sickles back to the Order to keep everyone from dying, because they failed to follow proper demon-summoning and contract-negotiation protocol, Zecchia has stolen the stuff from them and delivered it to a third party, who did follow the procedures, so Zecchia can't just steal it back again.

The Order / int_815556aa	comment	Tome of Eldritch Lore: Season One gives us the Vade Maecum Infernal, descibed as the "most powerful incantation ever created." When Alyssa asks Edward what it does, he replies "This is more a 'what doesn't it do' scenario." Performing the proper rituals and sacrifices in the proper way to tap the power of the Vade Maecum yeilds A God Am I. Season Two reveals that, even without trying to bond with the book and gain absolute power, it is still a grimoire and contains exceptionally powerful spells that can be used "a la carte," as Vera puts it. Season Two adds the the Fors Factorum. Vera tells Alyssa point blank, when she takes hold of the Fors Factorum while already having possession of the Vade Maecum, that she now possess the two most powerful incantations ever created. The Factorum is quite different, however. Salvador and Alyssa want it because it "frees a practitioner from sacrifice." Vera counters that nothing "frees" a practitioner from sacrifice, "You pay now or you pay later. Later costs more." Vera states that while it does make performing all kinds of magic ridiculously simple, it also turns your body into the fuel for the spells, meaning that a magic cancer starts to eat you alive, killing you in years. Or months.

Midnight's mission is to keep Silverback in check, lethally if need be, though whether this is official, unofficial, or self-appointed is left unexplored for now.

The Order / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: When Edward gets all four parts of the Vaede Maecum, Alyssa wonders why the book doesn't have a cover. Then it turns out that the cover is a fifth part of the book, and it's Silverback's pelt. In Season Two, Zecchia tells Lilith and Jack that she's brought them to "The last place I was before you resummoned me. A hidey-hole filled with magical artifacts." She notably does not say that it's where she delivered the goods she stole from them, or who the place or the goods within belongs to. This leads to the entirety of the Order's conflict with the Prometheans, because it's the Prometheans magic vault she's brought them to. From this, one can infer (especially when the Prometheans make noise about having their "magic stolen") that Praxis enlisted Zecchia to rob them in addition to the Knights and the Order. Zecchia just hadn't cleaned the Prometheans out yet for whatever reason. When Jack and Lilith enter the "Fear Corridor" as werewolves, they see a devastated landscape, a large glowing blue orb in the sky, and hear a thunderous booming horn-like sound. Several episodes later, we're introduced to Tartarus Eruptions, which are preceded by a thunderous booming horn-like sound, manifest as a glowing blue orb before it turns red and explodes, and can build up into Apocalypse Eruptions. Alyssa figures out that Salvador was the one who robbed the Order and the Knights when, as the two are chilling in Vera's kitchen, Alyssa sees Acheron's Cauldron next to where Salvador is making her risotto. Earlier in the season, the Knights needed the Cauldron to brew the potion that would make their minds proof against the Order's Laser-Guided Amnesia, so at the end of the episode when Alyssa shrugs off the same and Salvador triumphantly states "Told you you'd like my risotto," it's easy to figure out what happened. . . Salvador made the same potion and included it in the food.

The Order / int_dc1761bd	type	A God Am I
The Order / int_dc1761bd	comment	Season One gives us the Vade Maecum Infernal, descibed as the "most powerful incantation ever created." When Alyssa asks Edward what it does, he replies "This is more a 'what doesn't it do' scenario." Performing the proper rituals and sacrifices in the proper way to tap the power of the Vade Maecum yeilds A God Am I. Season Two reveals that, even without trying to bond with the book and gain absolute power, it is still a grimoire and contains exceptionally powerful spells that can be used "a la carte," as Vera puts it.

The Order / int_e9e35e8f	comment	In Season Two, Zecchia tells Lilith and Jack that she's brought them to "The last place I was before you resummoned me. A hidey-hole filled with magical artifacts." She notably does not say that it's where she delivered the goods she stole from them, or who the place or the goods within belongs to. This leads to the entirety of the Order's conflict with the Prometheans, because it's the Prometheans magic vault she's brought them to. From this, one can infer (especially when the Prometheans make noise about having their "magic stolen") that Praxis enlisted Zecchia to rob them in addition to the Knights and the Order. Zecchia just hadn't cleaned the Prometheans out yet for whatever reason.

The Order / int_ea08e9	type	The Team
The Order / int_ea08e9	comment	The Team: The Knights of St. Christopher. Each hide has certain talents and traits, and selects champions they feel share those traits. They are missing Alpha's pelt, presumably the one who's supposed to be the leader. The Leader: Tundra, the Wise One, bonded to Hamish, oldest and most experienced of the Knights. Apparently filling in while Alpha is missing. The Lancer: Timber. Described as a lone wolf, and Lilith is certainly the most aggressive at challenging Hamish's decisions. The Smart Guy: Greybeard, bonded to pre-med Randall Carpio. Presumably, Tundra is intended to slot here when Alpha is around. The Big Guy: Silverback, described as the most powerful, bonded to Jack Morton, Genius Bruiser. Leeroy Jenkins: Midnight, The Reckless One, who will bond with anyone who gets close enough. The current Knights call him "Cannon Fodder." Alpha calls him the one to make the Heroic Sacrifice. Season Two reveals that Midnight really doesn't like Silverback, because of his tendency to act from emotion without thinking and make things worse — given that Silverback's previous host, Jurgen Sawyer, nearly completed the Vade Maecum, Midnight has a point. Midnight's mission is to keep Silverback in check, lethally if need be, though whether this is official, unofficial, or self-appointed is left unexplored for now. We also get to see Midnight's actual personality, instead of that of his Champion, it pretty much boils down to "kill them all, let. . . eh, I've already stopped caring." Sixth Ranger: Greybeard is probably meant for this slot.

The Order / int_eff83d77	comment	Mundane Utility: The series provides a very good reason why you shouldn't use magic for this. All magic has a cost, either from your own body (usually blood) or someone else. When the Acolytes start using glamour spells to pawn off pieces of paper as hundred-dollar bills and completed essays without paying the price, the person they hand the glamoured paper to immediately suffers a minor-but-painful accident. Later, when they start trying to get out of school work by doing spells with such vague goals as "have no more English tests ever," the result is attempts to murder the English professor. However, Coventry comments to Alyssa that, of all the magic he's learned, the "open/close doors with a flick of the hand" is the one he uses most often. "It never gets old."

There are five and a sixth is revealed late in the first season: Tundra, Greybeard, Timber, Midnight, Silverback, and Alpha, presumably the "true" leader, and the hides are attracted to "champions" who share their personality traits. If a werewolf is killed, the pelt returns to a special box, where it waits for a new champion to bond with.

Vera tells Alyssa point blank, when she takes hold of the Fors Factorum while already having possession of the Vade Maecum, that she now possess the two most powerful incantations ever created. The Factorum is quite different, however. Salvador and Alyssa want it because it "frees a practitioner from sacrifice." Vera counters that nothing "frees" a practitioner from sacrifice, "You pay now or you pay later. Later costs more." Vera states that while it does make performing all kinds of magic ridiculously simple, it also turns your body into the fuel for the spells, meaning that a magic cancer starts to eat you alive, killing you in years. Or months.
