Ribbon of the Essian Order

The Essian Order is the first and only order of chivalry bestowed by the Essian Monarchy. It has been the ultimate order of chivalry for all incarnations of Esse since January 2017.

History

The Order of Saint Clemens was established shortly following the foundation of the Grand Duchy of Saint Clemens in June 2016. Awarded to a select few individuals at the time, it fell inactive for a period following the dissolution of Saint Clemens shortly thereafter. In January 2017, the Order was revived following the restoration of the Essian Commonwealth, at which point it became awarded by the Essian Monarchy. I was renamed the Essian Order in December 2017, and underwent thorough restructurings in March 2020 following the formation of the Confederation of Esse.

The Essian Order has, since its advent, been the only active chivalric order in Esse.
