The '''Santelmin Order''' is the smallest of the major factions of the [[Blacksand League]]. All members of Santelmin crews are casters, and the faction does not openly recruit. Rather, to join the Order, one must be specifically selected by the pirate admiral [[Heshwen]]. Most Santelmin ships are magically automated, driven and maintained by constructs, animated objects, or undead. The Order serves as something of the kingmakers among the League factions - when they deign to speak on a matter, the others soon fall in line.

While many pirates pay at least passing homage to [[Laverna]], those of the Orange Lotus Fleet are Lavernan devotees. [[Mera Munia]] has turned the pirates of the faction into an effective force that is loyal to Laverna and the fleet but little else. Individual Orange Lotus ships and crews are renowned and infamous for their ability to hit far above their weight, even capturing massive, fully armed and crewed [[Kea Racha|Kea Rachan]] warships alone.
