The Order of the Golden Lion is a powerful religious organization based in Waterdeep and essential to the functioning of its government. It is considered the partner organization to the Hall of Justice in Neverwinter, led by High Judge Olsaf.
The leader of the Order, the so-called “High Supervisor,” is tasked with making sure that the noble lords don’t grow too corrupt with their power and has the legal authority to punish them if necessary. This is easier said than done, as most noble lords hold considerable influence in the city and so each punishment is carefully considered to not destabilize the city.
In 1483 DR, the Order sent a force of paladins to assist Waterdeep’s army in eliminating the kobold tribes said to have formed a cult to Tiamat.
Later in 1486 DR, the Order rooted out all corrupt agents of the Margasters within the city after the reveal of the family’s crimes and their subsequent betrayal.
As of now, Sir Victorum and Sir Egan are currently interning in the Order while being punished for their role in the incident with the Margasters.
Morrigan is a member of this order.
