A prestigious award, presented to those who have shown outstanding fortitude and spent countless hours in Illyriad resolving numerous conflicts of interest.
Such dedication usually manifests itself in the state of the lawns, dishes in the sink and finally in an ultimatum from the Missus to 'extract thy digit'.
Hence the title of this award... By "
Order of the (old)
Trout".
Ancient Nightowl.

The Order of the Trout (formerly known as The Sacred Order of The Trouser Trout)--because the emblem was worn as a belt buckle...git yer minds out of the gutter, ye dogs!--but shortened because of the scandal that erupted due to an inordinate percentage of the population of Elgea having a disease known as "Gutter Brain" (see above) is actually the close cousin of two other, famed orders:
The Order of the Knights who Say Nii! and their sister order,
The Sacred O(r)dor of the Herring.
The exact details of the founding of these two elder orders are unknown, but what is known is that the Herring was something of an Idol for them, and the founding members were both Pal(in) appearance and quite fun Chap(me(a)n) to be around. In fact, one has to imagine that being around such folk, it would be (Cle)ees(y) to lose all track of time!
The most notable feature about the emblem of both the order of the Trout and that of the Herring is the attention to detail....note especially the area around the Gill(iam) .... Remarkable, and I'm sure that the tidbit above leaves you Jons(ing) to know more! :)

Perhaps those medals are secret bugging devices, using some WeirdMagic™ to listen in on Council meetings? Can I has one? They look like chocolate.

The Order of the Trout.
An organization created to control Illyriad and the people that live in it, who have been nicknamed "Salmons" by the members of this group. They have infiltrated every alliance in Illyriad and they recognize each other by their fishy medals. Not a clever plan but they are named after a fish, that kind of sets them back, expectations wise.
The members of this order identify potential threats and destroy them in humiliating ways. For example, after Nokigon was converted to the Order, he fired me from my position as Minister of Paranoia and made me a Bloke in a Cage.
This proves that I am indeed informed about the Order and I know what they'll do and they will arrest all of you, salmons, and do horrible snuggly things! They pretend to be evil by slapping people with fish, so we think they are nice ("Oh, he's slapping people with a trout, so cute LOL, LMAO, other funny acronyms), while they are actually pretending to be evil so they can be evil without us thinking they are evil!
We must rally against them! Protect ourselves! We must start an embargo on every fish industry. We must dry our rivers. We must hunt every trout and cook those nasty little creatures!
We need someone to stop this invasion like we need a belt to stop our trousers from falling! And who's better to be a belt than Belth? Vote for me and I will rule this land with an iron fist so iron-y you'll think I'm a robot. Sucks to you, fishies! |

The trout is murder.
Everyone given the sign of the trout is an operative sent out by their fishy spawn overlords.
They infiltrate all the alliances, converting more to their cause. Who has reason to suspect? They don't hide it,
"they have nothing to hide."
But that's just scratching the surface of the river.
A few weeks go by when trout-order manufactured spawn are placed around the corners of the Illyrian world. Once hatched, the fry seek out players or alliances, attempting to gain their trust.
By the time they've reached the Parr stage, they've found a player to link to or else have died, ending their menace to society.
Unfortunately there comes a time when they successfully bond... Growing into a Smolt. The afflicted player will and can easily conceal the trout still in this stage, knowingly or unwittingly spreading the Trout's influence.
Finally the parasites become adults, taking on a bronze sheen and using the infected players to spread their children, infect and convert other players and begin the trout domination of the world.
So cruel are the Illyrian trout that no one is safe. Opponents are eliminated, but perhaps more enraging is that those marked by the order of the trout too are doomed to being eaten by a thousand trout fry. The mark of the trout is a death sentence.
There will come a time when they rise, and the only hope we'll have is to flood the oceans and rivers of the world with so much alcohol that the trout are too inebriated to effectively destroy all known life in the world.
How to spot someone infected with trout: 1. They talk too little.
2. They talk too much.
3. They are eager to help people (care-avans are an easy way to conceal hidden spawn).
4. They regularly give "advice" to people (this advice is laden with trout spawn).
5. They seek high concentrations of lords and barons in Illyriad, infecting the few who can fight back when the uprising begins.
6. They seek to live in areas with low concentrations of people (to hide more fish spawn).
7. They seek to spread the word of trout via public forums.

The order of Trout is building WMD'S that will be released whenever they feel bored or when they are having a bad day
or
The Order of trout is Illyriad's version of the Night's Watch and is our defense against whatever the Heart Of Corruption throws against us (It has to be there for something right?)

The followers of the Order of the Trout are the true descendants of Unhygienix.
That's all I know. |
