Hefiosa
The name of both a tribe and a location on Hârn in Northern Tharda.

The nascent kingdom nearly suffered a fatal disaster during the reign of Raelan, the fourth emperor, who attempted to subdue the tribesmen of the Hefiosa highlands. The tribes harassed and routed the Corani armies, which had been weakened by the winter of 365. Raelan was killed, and the Hefiosa tribes advance towards Coranan. Raelan's young son, Arosta, who defeated the tribes at the Battle of Osten in 367, and virtually exterminated them by 369, saved the kingdom. [Tharda 1] The region in which they lived is still called the Hefiosa Highlands - even today.

Herpa the Mace, Order of
The Order of Herpa the Mace is a clerical order of the Hierarchy of the Eternal Flame. The order is open to both sexes, although the overwhelming majority of priests have been male since the schism of 714 TR. It sponsors the fighting order of the Red Shadows of Herpa.

The Order is limited to western Hârn. It is most active in the Kingdom of Rethem but also operates within the Thardic Republic. Orderial headquarters are in Golotha. The order also maintains five other major temples in Rethem (at Ithiko, Menekai, Senun, Shostim, and Techen) and three in Tharda (in Coranan, Moleryn, and Telen). The Coranan temple is covert and has only a handful of priests-- and even fewer Terahni from the Red Shadows of Herpa.

The Senesharil of the order is Andraz of Enald. He is also the Viriahn of the order's Golotha temple. The order has two Markithai, one of whom is the Viriahn of the Menekai temple, the other of whom is the Aperahki of the Golothan temple.
