Knights of Orléans

The Knights of Orleans (オルレアン騎士団) were the largest Magic Cabal in France, prior to their destruction at the hands of William Orwell.

Background
During Joan of Arc's campaign to drive the English from France, a volunteer association was formed by people who were attracted by her deeds and supported her from the shadows. It was made up of people who wanted to save France and stood side-by-side regardless of their identity or social status.

However after Joan was burnt at the stake on May 30th 1941, the group became twisted into one whose sole purpose was to avenge Joan. This vengeance was not just against English who killed her, but also against the French who failed to save her. This group delved into the world of Magic and developed into the Knights of Orleans, eventually becoming France's largest magic cabal.

In order to achieve their vengeance, the Knights of Orleans, knowing about the special powers which Joan of Arc developed at the age of 13, sought an individual possessing the same powers that she had, an Oracle of d'Arc (ダルクの神託). As centuries and generations passed, they continued their search and began experiments to replicate Joan's powers in another, purely for the sake of revenge instead of protecting others like Joan did.

The Knights of Orleans were eventually stopped and destroyed by William Orwell, together with a young boy whose friend had been forcibly taken away for the cabal's experiments.
