- The Orders Headquarters - The Order Headquarters Descriptions.  The Order of Scorpio can be found on the northern edge of Dorecium, isolated within a thin forest of dead oaks and barely-living groundsel-trees poisoned by the terrible power of the Scorpio Stone. The land there is flat and boggy, for it lies just west of the Dorvauldar Marsh, home to thick chilling fogs and flocks of strange birds. The Order itself is a massive, grey and arched edifice, not unlike a cathedral; its ornate but weathered facade evokes the feeling of a holy place abandoned.
The inside, however, tells another story. Visitors are greeted by a richly lit foyer, warm with wall-mounted flames that cast light into each deep corner of the room. Up the sides of the walls crimson vines climb unchecked to the high vaulted ceiling; in autumn the Squires make a morning of sweeping the fallen leaves away.
Further within lies the main hall, vast and grandly furnished with tapestries and an intricate mosaic of a phoenix as a floor. Two large sets of double doors on opposing sides of the hall lead one to the eastern wing (which contains the armory, smithy, and a great library especially dear to the Order's mages) and the other to the western wing (which contains the barracks, kitchens and infirmary). Beyond the hall is a courtyard with high walls used for both drilling and recreation, and beyond that lies a short, austere building housing the Order chapel, which contains the Holy Scorpio Stone and is guarded solemnly at all hours. The Judge makes her home within this chapel, in order to better attune herself to the power of Cuchulainn, guardian of the Order. The Order of Aquarius resides in an ancient castle near the ocean. The old, decrepit look of the castle hides its true nature. The south-west tower holds the living quarters for the loyal knights of the Order. The south-east tower holds the living quarters for the loyal mages of the Order. In the north-east tower is the armory, while the north-west tower contains lookout posts for any oncoming threats. The north of the castle is the training grounds for the knights and mages. The south, the dining area. In the center tower resides the Judge of the Order. Deep under the Order is a lake, and the home of the Aquarius Stone. It is said that the Stone is guarded by the "Darkening Cloud" himself.  At the easternmost part of Ivalice, is a active volcano, through in many generations, it has erupted, decimating villages and cities through it's lava, a of heretic priest and his followers worshipped the volcano and named it, Mt. Belias, named after one of the Espers during the vague records of the Age of the Gods, and later built a temple inside the very active volcano at the crater, but the priest used an unusual stone, that somehow subsided the volcano's constant eruptions. With no more eruptions, they built this temple in honor of the Belias, their divine god. This lasted for more than a few hundred years till they were discovered by the Church who was starting the new religion and was eventually purged, but however, with the temple sitting on a volcano, it proved to be a key strategic position of their Holy War, and it was later rebuilt from the base into a fortress, with the demolition of the Belias statues that were once there, and it would later become a military complex for a near generation, till it was abandoned, and sealed the stone by a magical force.
It would later be discovered another generation later led by a young man and his band of Order members, after finding out an old inscripture that he had found during the research that he was taken, this once old decrepit ruin, housed the newly created Order of Aries, with it's promise to become one of the leading Orders of all Ivalice.
It was eventually repaired and improved on, with four massive towers reaching as high to the mouth of the volcano to serve as guard towers for incoming attacks, they call the towers, The Pillars of North, South, East and West with the flag of the Arian at each tower. While the base is the fortress itself, it's in some sense a small city, and there are at least 4 small districts, each housing every soldier and as well as their families live (which was ordered by the current Judge to force many of the soldier's families to live in the Order for morale of the soldier), and in the middle of that is the grand castle where not only the Judge presides, but also the high authority of all the Aries Order itself, and as well as it contains all of the history of Aries including it's founding, and in the grand hall stands one of the heroes of Aries through their advancement and there commitment to the Order, but at the end of the hall, is Belias the Gigas, which the Aries serves under. The Castle is about 10 stories high, which are mostly rooms for dignitaries and storage for the arnaments and food for the entire Order. At the top of this palace, is the Judge's Chamber decorated with the flags, but in the middle of the flag, is where the stone of the Aries, the very same stone that has been around since millienia is inserted behind the throne of the Judge's throne. Around the castle, is a moat but rather than water, it is flowing with lava, from the volcano below it. Below the volcano are 10 checkpoints heavily guarded by members of the Order, for supplies to get in the city. And around the area are magically created Fire Elementals, which are created from the very lava that the Volcano itself, and are sentries to the Order itself.

~Near Mount Lunarus
Kuro pulled hard on the reigns of his chocobo, it quickly slowed to a hault. He gazed down the small hill towards Mount Lunarus. He was trying to see if he could find the fabled larger monsters that surrounded the great mountain. "Can`t see any from here... must not be that big then." He sighed and shook his head, "Onward, hya!" he said as he kicked the chocobo`s side, signaling it to move forward again. It gave a quick, yet powerful, leap from the hill, landing gracefully at the bottom than rocketed towards the mount. 'I can`t lose this year`s racing' he noted mentally.
After only a few seconds, he spotted a large green marlboro, and pulled back on the reigns once again. "It`s not that big," he said before hopping off the chocobo to realise it was much larger than he was. He reached into his pack and gave his chocobo a small branch of gyashl {sp?} greens, and it raced back to the order. He drew his rapier from his side and turned to the creature.
"I don`t suppose I need to ask if your ready?" The creature gave a malicious smile, showing its array of teeth. "I`ll take that as a yes." In a second of silent thought, Kuro analyzed his best approach, 'I heard these things have a grueling breath, better find a way behind it.'
Without the slightest hint of pre-meditation, Kuro charged forward. The marlboro, reacted relatively quickly, following every one of his steps. Just outside of the marlboro`s range, Kuro made a sharp turn right and began circling inwards towards the monster. It managed to turn fast enough to spew a cloud of gas directly in his path. He, while not expecting the monster to be agile enough to turn and attack, ran into the cloud, escaping at the other end; his throat felt clogged and swelled, although he could tell this wasn`t as bad as he thought, he knew he wouldn`t have the capacity to cast any spells.
'Damned creature...' Kuro thought as he spat on the ground. The marlboro, seemingly understanding his pain, smiled once again and began to creep forward, assuming he was unable to move. 'Perfect, it`s walking right into a trap.' The second the large creature was in his range, Kuro leaped forward, and attack that boasted his fencing training. The creature gasped, or maybe it was a failed attack; Kuro didn`t wait long enough to find out. Towards the end of the lunge, he jumped, and impaled the sword through the creatures head. A dark green blood began leaking out of the monster`s mouth.
Kuro leaped off the creature, turning back after a few steps to ensure the creature`s death. When he returned his head back to his destination in the distance, he instantly regretted sending his chocobo back to the order before him, all of his supplies being strapped to the harness. 'Now I need to head all the way back to the order to cure this silence.' tsk 'How are the other members going to think of an arc knight who was caught unprepared out in the wilderness?' He shook his head, taking his mind off the subject. 'Doesn`t matter anyway. I have a long walk back, and i`m sure the silence will fade before I get there.'
He noticed his comfortably slow pace, 'I`ll never get there at a pace like this!' He stopped a moment, crept low to the ground. Then, as if to the sound of a gun, ran forward as fast as he could, paying no attention to his lack of water, and other supplies.

~near Mount Lunaris
Following the the racing chocobo's tracks to the mountain, thinking that a chocobo with only but supplies must mean something. And as Torruun comes to the mountain, he notices a running man. Perhaps the one who's chocobo was racing off, "he doesn't look like a bandit, maybe he needs help." Torruun thought as he raced toward the man on his chocobo. And as Torruun starts to come within hearing range, Torruun shouts; "Do you need assistance!?"

Kuro skidded to a hault, and looked up at the mage. "Yeah," He managed to quiet his breathing to a low and fast gait. "I ran into a monster and told my chocobo to return to its ranch." He sheathed his sword, thinking he might think it was an offensive action, then moved towards him. He hopped onto the chocobo behind him. "Where are you headed?" He smiled to himself as he realised the infliction had faded.

"I'm looking for someone..." Torruun replied as he stopped his chocobo. "To which order of you?" Torruun asked, thinking that from the look of his armor, and his rapier, that this man would probabley be of the Serpentarius.

"Ah-" He paused, slightly surprised that he was able to infer that. "I`m from the Order of Aries, and by the fact that you could identify me by appearance, i`ll assume your in an order as well?" He decided to put off the question as to what he is searching for until later. "Oh, forgive me. I`m Kuro Mardon {Rearangement of the word Random if anyone caught that}, nice to meet you."

While he knew that Aquarius was in the same region, and that they showed no signs of agressive action so far, Kuro kept his guard up, knowing that the orders were not allies. "Aren`t you a little far away from your headquarters? This thing your searching for must be important."

"Yes... she is." He replied.
"Wrrrk" Talon groaned.
"Hm? Talon?" Torrun said. "What's wrong?"
as Torruun asked what was wrong with him, Talon slowly stopped.
"Wrrrk" Talon groaned again.
"hungry? okay then." Torruun said to talon. "alright, Talon needs to rest for a little while." said Torruun as he gets off.

"Oh? Okay then." Just then, he remembered the one supply he had on him. He reached into the pack tied to his back. "I feel like this should be obvious, but your Talon likes Gyashl Greens right? I always keep a few on me, my {Gotta think of a chocobo name on the spot... come on brain; think!} Gunner." He removed a short green stalk and held it out for Torrun.

"Thank you, Kuro." he said to Kuro as he took the greens from him, and gave them to Talon. "there, How are they, Talon?" Torruun said to his chocobo.
"Warrk!" Talon said Joyfully.
"Thanks Kuro, he likes them a lot. Where do you get your greens from?" Torruun asked.

By force of habit, he removed his sword and began sharpening it with a nearby rock; one of which he deemed to be the correct type for his weapon. "While we wait, wanna have a quick practice duel? First blood of course."
