: I doubt that many of them actually do survive the Dark
: Age. But there at least must be a handful that do,

: initiated every tournament, then they have at leat 280
: Heron Guards. I doubt many of them would die during

True...but I don't see why *any* of them would survive most wars. Wasn't the Jmen being at Bagrada in the last war an anomaly? Ordinarily, the entire order should be fighting alongside the emperor, and should be utterly annihilated before he dies.
