The Order of the Silver Oak originally comprised those individuals who marched against the Fomorians in the Battle of Boston. Fighters amassed from across Concordia in what became the first widespread military effort after the death of David Ardry drawing support from several Kingdoms, shore to shore.
As recognition of those who participated in the battle, the Order of the Silver Oak was formed. Its icon was chosen for symbolic meaning. Silver is often a metal associated with peace and sincerity, the great white Oak is known for protection, fertility and medicinal properties.
The Kithain that wear this honour have put forth their very lives, skills and knowledge against the enemies of Concordia. They work with solidarity toward the return of Spring and the Cycle of Seasons. Despite their many differences, they find unity in the ongoing effort to provide a place where all are free to live.
