Our glorious order stretches its tendrils back across the sands of time, and has survived into present day. Make no mistake, one of our most fundamental tenets is self-sustainability and although The God Eaters are seen as barbarians by the acolytes of The Enclave, theirs is an ancient order still. To the long-bearded men of The Enclave, any organization that is able to survive for generations is worthy of acknowledgment (but little more.)

We, at the Enclave, are pragmatic men, and it is [i]never[/i] pragmatic to consume the flesh of another human, unless under duress and dire starvation.

The God Eaters are an unscrupulous organization of superstitious brigands (some would say madmen) held in place by fanciful beliefs with no basis in science. 
The Enclave concerns itself with the objective pursuit of Truth, the only Truth. Whereas your hunger causes you to commit blind atrocities with sword, our hunger leads us to ceaseless expansion of human knowledge. We are, in some regards, knights of the mind. 


You say you want to understand how The Enclave views your order of ruffians - the less we view of thee, the better."

The Burning Light feels better about The Enclave, I expect, given that they have more similarities, though the Light seems like a much more militarily inclined group, so I dunno if the Enclave would like them back.

Our Bodies, as well as our Minds must remain pure.
Only fools freely take Magic into their own bodies without fear.

An acolyte of The Enclave is taught to purify their body so that communion with the Truth is achieved entirely. Although spiritually, The Order of the Burning Light and The Enclave have similar goals - whereas the Burning Light prefers swords, The Enclave prefers quills & paper. There are some historians who claim that, in ages long gone, our two Orders were one. But when Magic appeared throughout the land, a schism split the organization in half, with those who believed magic would lead to ruin on one side, and those who sought to invite ruin on the other. However, these claims are unsubstantiated in writing, so they can safely be considered a rumor. 

Yours is a sin most grave, and ye continue onto the future, burning. 

The Enclave, in a less advanced time, sought to study the phenomena of Magic. We now believe Magic to be responsible for most of the discord among the continents, and vehemently discourage its use. 

The properties of Magic infect the humors of the Body like a parasite, and unlike most sicknesses, this one can not be removed by leeches."
