Order of the Golden Land

The Order of the Golden Land, colloquially known as Kazakk's Order was a military order founded by Welin Kazakk and his companions to fight against the usurper Akazoo Vapith. After Akazoo's defeat and the reclamation of Hyrule, the order expanded and came to be the leading power within the Kingdom.

History
In the year 140KoH, General Lord Akazoo Vapith betrayed the Kingdom of Hyrule. With the help of First Sage Evaleen and the Gohma, he oversaw the destruction and subsequent consumption of Hyrule Castle Town, the assassination of the King and his consort, and personally took the Princess Zelda hostage. Through circumstances out of his control, three refugees escaped Castle Town and were able to warn Welin Kazakk, who at that point was in Airu on the King's behalf. Kazakk, the refugees, joined bystanders and two Sages were able to seek refuge in Kokiri Forest, whereafter they founded a military order, committed to restoring rightful rule to Hyrule.

After their miraculous defeat of Akazoo, Evaleen and the emergent First Sage Sulkaris, Kazakk and his band took over the Kingdom of Hyrule with the support of Princess Zelda, who joined the order after her rescue. The founding and recent members of the order were thereafter in high standing, though some of them, such as Liyer and Felonius were still indebted to the crown and forced to take active participation in the Kingdom's restoration over the following year. Others such as Mido and Annara distanced themselves from the order to take care of personal matters, despite retaining their membership.

Having been hailed as heroes of both the Kingdom and the entire civilized world, the order soon expanded, taking in many knights and soldiers who dedicated their lives to protecting the Triforce from bad actors.

Organisation and Hierarchy
Being a sort of spiritual successor to the previously disbanded Order of the Four Swords, the Order of the Golden Land's dedicated purpose was to protect the Triforce, the Kingdom of Hyrule and its people from would-be threats. It was headed by a Grand Master, Welin Kazakk. During the initial war between the order and Akazoo, Darunia served an advisor position, though he would be replaced by Princess Zelda following his second self-imposed exile into the caverns of Death Mountain. Due to her regal status, she would formally come to be known as a Honored advisor, a position created specifically for her.

The order was separated into honored knights and ladies, knights, and soldiers. The position of honored knights and ladies was largely designated for the founding members of the order, those who joined during the reclamation of Hyrule, and others who demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication, such as in the battle for Misery Mire. Because a large number of founding members were not of noble blood, they were elevated into it by the decree of Queen Zelda.
