The Order of St. Edward is the primary honorary Knightly order of Burthorpe. It is named for Burthorpe's most famed King and Saint, Edward the Vyrebane, also know as Emperor Edward the Conciliator, who brought Kandarin and Asgarnia together in peace and prosperous unity, before martyrdom at Canifis during his Crusade against the Vampyres for their attack on Varrock. He was the epitome of bravery, statesmanship, kingship and valour, and was not born in Burthorpe. Thus, to be reflective of his array of talents, and his foreign birth, Knighthood may be awarded to any man or woman who has displayed themselves to be worthy in their field.
The motto of the order is: Fortitudo Eius Vyre Tulit (By His Bravery He Conquered Vampyres)
There are four ranks in the Order, and each has a formal dress, which, along with a list of recipients, follows.

The Royal Family
Following the long lasting legacies of the Grey Family, the Royal House of Grey was formed generations before when King Raddalin came from Misthalin to conquer the clans of Asgarnia. The past, present and future Kings and Queens of Asgarnia, the Grey Tanistry allows any of the Grey Cadet Branches to claim the different thrones of Asgarnia.
The Kings and later Emperors of Anglia being the very first along the titles held by the Greys, Burthorpe has long been viewed as the center of Grey power.
Following from the Jameson Dynasty, the current Royal Family of Burthorpe traces their blood back to Emperor King Varis III and Empress Maela Aerendyl. Followed to the Queen Erysail the Confessor with the line being created with the marriage of Her Royal Highness Cassandra Grey (Child of Queen Erysail) and His Royal Highness Leviticus Grey (Child of Ikarus Grey).
Following absolute primogeniture, the eldest born of the current Monarch is the rightful heir to the Kingdom and claims the title of Prince (Princess) Imperial. With the next born claiming their Princely title alongside the Duchy of Lessar.
Currently with the King being unmarried and without children, his siblings act as the line of succession.
The eldest, and King of Burthorpe is: Bryce (Baldwin) Grey
The heir, Prince(Princess) Imperial of Burthorpe is:
Prince (Princess), Duke (Duchess) of Lassar:
Prince (Princess):
Princess Haylen Grey

The Red Stripe Trading Company was formed by Bartholomew Bronson with investments from controversial figures such as Sire William Skeat and Jekyll Vortivask, alongside his own funds. Initially based in Ashdale's Kharazi colonies following the coup d'etat upon the previous governor, Sir Angus McPherson, the company siezed a small portion of the Dominion's tobacco plantations and, once the first crews were formed, established itself across Kandarin, Southern Misthalin and the Wushanko Isles.
Since that time, company Directors have expanded a small merchant fleet into an overwhelming conglomerate of the mining, fishing, shipping, production and general trading industries. Spread across many nations, the Red Stripe has now established a public office and trade alliance within the Kingdom of Burthorpe, headed by Director Owain de Beaujeu.
With eyes on not only the company held mines within the Kingdom, but also the rich untapped resources in northern troll territory, the Company has raised a private force of Men-At-Arms to aid in this venture as well as protecting the company’s interest abroad.
Similarly, the Company offers the service of the small number of war-ships in local waters to aid in anti-piracy activities whilst not otherwise occupied on convoy or transportation duties.
Well established in Burthorpe, it is no strange sight to see Company men-at-arms aiding in military exercises, nor is it uncommon for a Director to be present during a Royal Court.
