The Order of the Gate is an order comprised primarily by spellcasters. Its members look to prevent lawlessness with the help of magic and alliances with devils. In Onadbyr, this order was formed by Sanguine, the first Vicarius.

Punishment is a response to the failure of law. To the members of the Order of the Gate, true order can be achieved only when criminal behaviour is quelled before it is committed—preferably before it is even considered. The Order of the Gate does not seek to convince every free-willed creature of a lawful society's virtues, because its members believe that forces stronger than rhetoric must be used to prevent the sickness of criminal impulse. Thus, the Order of the Gate employs magic to enforce its vision of law.
