In the Order’s folklore, Eve was the first mage, a rebel to be admired and a human being willing to stand up for human rights.  Her defiance of God is presented not as the downfall of humanity, but as the dawn of its liberation.  Eating the apple gave humanity wisdom and Eve’s sharing of the apple with Adam is presented as humanity’s primordial choice of love over hate, good over evil.

Members of the Order are expected to work to humanity’s benefit, although there is no oversight to make sure that they do and very little in the way of Order organization.  Mages of the Order rarely hold office but rather help others on a more personal level, such as by conducting charity work, curing disease, resolving disputes, or changing minds.  The order is very attractive to compassionate idealists, along with self-righteous egotists, knee-jerk rebels and people who hate rules because they hate responsibility.

In ancient and medieval Europe, the Order was often on bad terms with the Houses, an inevitable result of the Order’s independence and political commitment.  They were a favorite target for witch-trials and some members accidentally whipped up public fervor against witches by idealistically making honest public confessions.  The Order of Eve’s distaste for warfare is legendary.  They opposed the American Revolution, the Civil War, and American entry into the two world wars, not to mention the wars in Korea and Vietnam and the modern wars in the middle east.
