Compelled by a desire to recover its former lands and glory and to exact revenge on its sworn Laranian enemies, the Agrikan Order of the Company of the Copper Hook stokes religious tensions along the border between the kingdoms of Rethem and Kanday. The order instigated Ezar's War, a conflict between those two kingdoms, in 682. Despite losing most of its lands, it has never recognized the 697 Peace of Selvos and continues to actively engage in cross-border raids and reprisals from its keep at Hyen. The careful leadership of Grandmaster Marag Yeredar has given the order a grim, purposeful focus and made it one of Hârn's most dangerous fighting forces. It has a reputation for fielding warriors, particularly its cavalry, that are of far greater effectiveness than the order's size would indicate.

This article describes the order's history, current situation, organization, daily life, and military tactics.
