== Overview ==
{{quote
|quote='''Ser Solton''': The Order of Solstice ''does'' exist? Impossible. I have a fifteen gold bet that half-Elf made it up!<br><br>'''Erin Solstice''': No, it ''totally'' exists. Maybe it wasn’t, uh, properly recognized, but I’m recognizing it now. Bam. Order of Solstice, [Knights] of Izril. Sworn to protect the innocent and kick people they don’t like.

Created by [[Erin Solstice]], the Order of Solstice is not yet fully established, as it requires more members to fully qualify. The Order is technically based in [[Chandrar]], and moved to [[Izril]], although none of its members had ever gone to Chandrar in its inception.{{ref|9.07}}

== Chronology==

=== Volume 8 ===
After meeting the [[Order of Seasons]] under the alias of "Goblin Slayer," [[Rabbiteater]] choose "Solstice" as an alias.<ref>[[Interlude – Talia]]</ref> Later, [[Talia Kallinad]] came up with the title "Knight of Solstice" in reference to [[Rabbiteater]].<ref>[[Chapter 8.46 G]]</ref> As 'Ser Solstice', Rabbiteater became one of the most famous combatants in the war against [[Ailendamus]].

While the Horns of Hammerad are traveling to [[Izril]] on the [[Sand at Sea]], Dame [[Thuile]] of the [[Order of the Hydra]] overhears [[Ceria Springwalker]] and [[Yvlon Byres]] talking about Erin Solstice, associating the name to Rabbiteater. As a joke, Ceria would claim that Yvlon was a [Knight] of the fictional Order of Solstice. In turn Thuile reports this false information on the existence of the Order of Solstice back to the [Grandmaster] of the [[Order of the Hydra]].<ref>[[Chapter 8.81]]</ref>

=== Volume 9 ===
Ser [[Lotorghast]], Dame [[Thuile]], Ser [[Solton]] and a [[Order of Clairei Fields|Clairei Knight]] arrive in [[Liscor]] to inquire about the origins of [[Rabbiteater|Ser Solstice]]. Erin confirmed that the Order of Solstice exists, having created it right at that moment. Naming [[Brunkr]] a posthumous member of the Order of Solstice, Erin declares ''Intent Valoris'' to create the [Knight] order, which will be recognized when five [Knights] have joined. Erin then knights [[Normen Callesn|Normen]] in the [[Garden of Sanctuary]], inducting him into the Order of Solstice.{{ref|9.07}}

Normen struggled with judging worthy applicants to the order, as well as funding their equipment and mounts. Erin believed that any members should be strong enough as to not die, but that would create too high a standard to join the Order.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/04/09/9-41-pt-1/ Chapter 9.41 (Pt. 1)]</ref> He came to the opinion that members should be aware of their limitations, and not already have an occupation they are fond of and accomplish good things with. The first mission of the Order was to deliver food to struggling villages during a blizzard. Normen and some companions successfully fought past a horde of [[Snow Golems]] and reached the village of [[Rheirgest]], saving the inhabitants from starvation.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/04/12/9-41-pt-2/ Chapter 9.41 (Pt. 2)]</ref>

When the [[Bloodfeast Raiders]] attacked the village of Salefenwool, Ser [[Normen]] went to the defense of the village.<ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/04/30/9-41-pt-3/ Chapter 9.41 (Pt. 3)]</ref> While defending the Goblinlands in the [[Unseen Empire]] from [[Arcsinger’s Bows]], The Order of Solstice got recognized by recruiting ten Knights.<ref name=":1" />

During the Northern Izril wide Vampire hunt, the Order saves a group of fleeing vampires by letting them through the Erin's door while stopping the knights of the Clairei Fields that chase them from following them. Later it is also revealed that [[Rivel val Lischelle-Drakle]] has joined the Order as a probationary member. <nowiki><ref></nowiki>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/07/12/9-53/ Chapter 9.53]</ref>

The Order of Solstice participated in the events of the Winter Solstice and the Night of Bloodtear.
