The Northern Brotherhood

The Northern Brotherhood is an international humanitarian movement which was founded in the Samar city of Wheatley to aid refuges attemtping to escape the northern front of the Second War of the West, and is funded by charitable donations. Its mission statement is to protect human life and health, to ensure respect for all human beings, and to prevent and alleviate human suffering, a mission statement which notably excludes the protection of anthros.

The movement was originally founded in Wheatley and exclusively served Samarkand's north but has since expanded to consist of several distinct organizations that are semi autonomous from the original northern brotherhood; the Imperial Northern Brotherhood, which serves Imperial Samarkand, and the Southern Brothrehood, which serves southern Samarkand.

The Northern Brotherhood primarily deals with the protection of civilians from the damages of war, but also with their protection from disease, as well as the protection of wounded soldiers and POWs. The Northern Bortherhood's charitable activities include the donation of food and blankets to refuges, finding them shelter, and the setup of orphanages and adoptions for orphan refuges.
