| - A decade before the events of The War of the Three Hammers, a small group of Night Elves seceded from The Cenarion Circle due to political and ideological differences. The group named themselves Order of the Brawn and consisted of no more than half a dozen druids and their mates. This order was different from The Cenarion Circle in the respect that they disagreed with the notion that, should a particular species be threatened by extinction, or should a forest begin to die out, there should be intervening preservational actions made. Instead, the liberal views of the Order of the Brawn stated that should a forest fall to decay and biological poverty, it is better to let the forest die, as well as the same concept for animal and plant species. The argument made by the Order was that nature favors strength and survival above all other attributes. To save a dying species because it is too weak to survive in its current habitat is to disrupt the flow of life instead of cultivating strength in nature. In addition, the Order of the Brawn also disagreed with the division by gender among the Night Elf society and believed that females should take up the art of druidism as well. For these reasons, the Order of the Brawn left The Cenarion Circle and their Night Elf kin to live in seclusion, deep in the forests of Ashenvale. The next half-century would witness the organizational problems, deeper conflicting ideals and internal power struggles within the Order of the Brawn until the Order diminished and ultimately disbanded. The presence of the Order of the Brawn was so fleeting and reclusive that it was hardly recorded among the history of the Kal'dorei people. The Order had many irregularities among its culture responsible for its own deterioration, mainly a mindset that emphasized strength and true regression into natural living. As such, while females did begin to learn druidism within the Order of the Brawn, anything that promoted a rigidity of structure or society was done away with, including names and titles, monogamous relationships, currency and the like. Instead, the structure of the Order was largely based around trial by combat and an extremist mentality of survival of the fittest.
