 * We, as the Titanic races of Azeroth, have a duty, a calling. We may have succumbed to the Curse of Flesh, but our purpose still stands. We will respect the Makers by fulfilling their will. We shall protect this planet at all costs. The races of human, dwarf, gnome, vrykul, earthen, mechagnome and mogu shall we unite under one cause, one banner; that of the Titans! Glory to the Order of the Titanic Will and may the Makers guide us all!

Origins
During the invasion of Draenor and the war against the Iron Horde, a small archeological crew reformed into a religious organization. These founding members were Anadius Stoneborne, Yalande Silverbreeze, Salendra Tharenfield and Filirin Brewbeard. After years of studying the Titans, they decided to convert to the Mystery of the Makers and work towards advancing the supposed will of the Titans, all except for Silverbreeze who was refused on the basis of her being a night elf. The ethno-centric organization increased in numbers as various members of the Alliance (and eventually even vrykul and mogu) joined. Eventually, they relocated to Outland, forming a capital in Terokkar Forest known as Order Hold. They operated from this shattered world, hiring mercenary organizations to remove factions that would act as competition for when they return to Azeroth. One of these targeted factions was an alliance of void cults known as the Coalition of the Wake. The Order hired a Stormwind-based mercenary organization called Gravestone to remove this cultist threat. After the cult was finally dismantled in Ahn'Qiraj, an artifact believed to be of titanic origin was discovered in the ruins. Gravestone refused to turn over the artifact, creating tension between the two factions.

Wartime
Highlord Stoneborne prepared talks with Gravestone in order to negotiate the transfer of the artifact to the Order. Not believing in the Highlord's pacifist methods, his second-in-command Salendra Tharenfield assassinated him and placed the blame on supposed Gravestone assassins. A war was then immediately declared between the Order of the Titanic Will and Gravestone.
