Jade Order
From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
The Jade Order is one of the eight Colleges of Magic who train Wizards in The Empire.
Jade wizards are masters of the seasons and nature, as a result their power depends on the season, reluctant to operate in winter while prosperous in summer. They are fascinated by the natural state of the Old World. As a result Jade wizards are prone to living wild and avoiding urban areas. The Orders headquarters in Altdorf is filled with few wizards as a result of this. The Lore of Magic they study is the Lore of Life.
Locations
- College in Altdorf: It is surrounded by a 60ft high green glazed brick wall with a single simple wooden door. The door is guarded by four heavily armed and armoured veteran warriors of varying ages. Within the area seems to be much larger than it should be and is a sprial of natural beauty with a central grove of trees at its heart.[2a]
Symbol
- The Coil of Life: A rune that embodies the unending flow of life - often seen in the vestments of the Jade Wizards who carry coiled sickles and wreaths. [1a]

Quotes
| We druids, who study the Lore of Life, know that this is the single most powerful and single most important wind. It is the one element that all living things must possess. It emerges from life just as it gives life; it is found in the blood of creatures, and in the sap of plants. It is the very stuff of life.
