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
Also known as the Saint Clementine Order, the Order of Saint Clemens was established shortly following the foundation of the Grand Duchy of St.Clemens in June 2016. Awarded to a select few individuals at the time, further awarding was ceased by the brief history of the Grand Duchy, as shortly after its first awarding the Grand Duchy disestablished. Following this, the order remained dormant for about six months until the Declaration of Restoration in the Essian Commonwealth, when the Order was revived.
The Order of Saint Clemens was the first Order to be founded in the Commonwealth. It was renamed to the "Essian Order" in December 2017, and underwent further restructurings in March 2020.
