The Order Of The Broken Eye is a secretive group of assassins, many of whom are able to draft Paryl, a Luxin few know about and even fewer are able to manipulate. Although many of the Order's motives are obscure, unclear, or not revealed, it is known that they are at least partially anarchistic, wanting to tear down the Chromeria and Satrapy system and return to the old (feudal) ways. The Order hates the Orholamic faith and harbours a special hatred of the Prism.
The Order is known to specialize in killing drafters, and has been rooted out and destroyed at least 3 times, if not more. The Order has access to a lot of privileged information and equipment, including access to several Shimmer Cloaks and deep knowledge of the inner workings of the Chromeria.
The current organization known as the Order of the Broken Eye is a conglomeration of survivors from the Prism's War who fought on Dazen's side. The survivors were hunted down after the war, and eventually fled into the Atashian desert out of desperation. According to the leader of the organization, The Old Man of the Desert, they found ancient texts translated by the ancient scholars of Braxos, learning many truths from them that shaped the Order into what they are today.
From the story the Old Man tells the history of the Order is full of strife, having been created in desperation during a time when the Old Gods ruled - a time when the Color gods and their priests waged war across the Nine Kingdoms, killing many in their paths of destruction. One man decided to make a change, using the power of a Full-Spectrum Polychrome Lightsplitter to create the first Shimmer Cloak. The Order tasked itself with bringing peace to the world, first attempted through persuasion but later resorting to assassination to get the results they desired.
The Order claims Lucidonius, whom they call Diakoptês the traitor, was the best of their order - a great Shadow who slew many enemies of the Order. They claim Lucidonius stole the colored lens crafting technology of Braxos to create an army of drafters, betraying his home and creating a new empire and religion on which he sat as emperor. Lucidonius claimed himself as the Second Eye of Orholam, so when the Order assassinated him they claimed they were 'breaking the second eye', thus creating the name by which the Order is now known.
