All Order of the Ancients Members & Locations
The Order of the Ancients is a clandestine organization operating in the shadows of Anglo-Saxon England, seeking to control events from behind the scenes. Hunting down its members is a core gameplay loop that rewards Eivor with powerful gear, experience, and insight into the Order's machinations.
Each member of the Order is a distinct target, often found in fortified locations or disguised within prominent societal roles. To uncover their identities and locations, you'll need to gather clues. These clues are typically obtained by completing specific story missions, engaging in side activities, or assassinating lower-ranking members of the Order.
For example, to find the Grand Maegester, you might need to eliminate several Zealots scattered across England. Each Zealot you defeat will drop a piece of a clue that, when pieced together, reveals the Grand Maegester's identity and the region where they can be found. These Zealots are formidable warriors who patrol specific territories and will actively hunt Eivor if they spot them.
The Order's hierarchy is extensive, with members spread across various regions. Some members are directly tied to main story quests, while others require dedicated investigation. For instance, the Bishop of Wincestre is a key figure whose assassination is part of a sificant narrative arc, requiring Eivor to infiltrate the city and navigate its political intrigue.
As you progress through the game and eliminate more Order members, you will gradually unlock access to the Order's inner circle, culminating in a confrontation with the Grand Maegester, Hytham, who resides at the Ravensthorpe settlement and provides guidance on your hunt. Successfully eliminating all Order members is crucial for unlocking certain endgame content and understanding the full scope of their influence.
