The Grand Order of Corlos

The Grand Order of Corlos is a knightly order in service to House Westerling at The Crag in the Westerlands. Although large and influential in the past, they are largely irrelevant today. They were founded in the year 15AC, it was an idea by the Lord of The Crag - Gawen Westerling. Ser Caspor the Magnificent was named its first leader

History
Unlike most orders of chivalry in Westeros, the Order of Corlos was not only a martial order - actually, the Order was established during the past as a means of raising revenue and protecting lands from ironborn raids as a helpful side effect, with membership dues being originally listed at 100 grains of pure gold annually. In exchange for their dues, members were granted knighthoods if they did not already have them, but also a number of privileges including the right to be tried only by the Order, the right to arbitration by the Order in all disputes between fellow members, and even the right to advise the Westerling lords on “weighty matters.” During the rule of of later lords, these privileges were badly abused by dozens of social climbers, leading to the diminishment of the order’s prestige and an increase in public disorder, as many used the order’s immunity from normal criminal procedure as a shield against all forms of justice itself. Over time, people left the order as to not be ostracized and judged from the community. They decided that perhaps, belonging in a community mattered more than a knighthood. Nowadays, the order is rather small. All of the rules are still in place, but they mainly guard Lord Westerling and sit in on councils.
