History Main / GodOfOrder

** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', the goddess Hydaelyn is never directly referred to as a goddess of order, but she is stated to be the creator and protector of the world and greets the PlayerCharacter with the statement of "All are one", thus implying that her sphere encompasses harmony. Further illustrating this point, her opposite is the god known as Zodiark, the embodiment of destruction, chaos and darkness.
* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn'', it's eventually revealed that [[spoiler:this is what Ashera actually is, rather than the warm and benevolent goddess humanity had hyped her up as over the centuries. She's a cold and unfeeling being of order and stability with no empathy or compassion. It's later revealed that this is because she and Yune, the goddess of chaos, are two halves of a former whole, the goddess Ashunera who ripped her emotions out after an emotional breakdown caused her to flood most of the planet and kill millions. Unfortunately, without Yune's influence, Ashera has decided to wash her hands of the imperfect races of man and replace them entirely with something more orderly. This sets the final part in motion, where the protagonists join forces with Yune and race to stop her.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Majesty}}'' and ''VideoGame/WarlockMasterOfTheArcane'' share the Ardania setting, which has the god of order Dauros, the sibling of the life goddess Agrela, the death goddess Krypta, and their brother [[GodOfChaos Fervis]]. The quadruplets are the youngest gods in the setting, having the plague god Grum-Gog as their older brother, their mother Helia and father Lunord governing the sun and moon, and grandfather Krolm as the primordial rage god. None of these gods are specifically more powerful than any other.

* ''Videogame/GenshinImpact'' has Focalors (also known as Furina), the [[LordOfTheOcean Hydro Archon]] and Goddess of Justice, who [[GodEmperor is also the nominal ruler]] of Fontaine. As the official ruler of a nation ruled by it's court system, she presides over trials which are treated more as opera performances. In practice however, the trials are based on a ComputerizedJudicialSystem that neither she nor the official Chief Justice Neuvillette have much control over.

As the official ruler of a nation ruled by it's court system, she presides over trials which are treated more as opera performances. Unfortunately, she's also noted to be a capricious and fickle goddess more interested in being amused by the trials than anything.

* ''Fanfic/TheShapeOfTheNightmareToCome'' has the Star Father, who's the reborn [[GodEmperor Emperor of Mankind]]. He's a Chaos God of Order ([[OxymoronicBeing however that works]]) whose Angyl worlds (his version of Daemon worlds) have a weakened connection to the Warp rather than a stronger one, and with the CatchPhrase of "OBEY!"

** Solkan has his counterpart in ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' in Malal aka Malice, the God of Justice and Balance. Although this version makes him a fifth Chaos God, representing the tendency for Chaos to destroy itself.

* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'': Galeem is an AngelicAbomination who represents order, and enforces this [[KillEmAll by slaughtering almost everyone]] [[OrderIsNotGood so it can remake it in its image]]. [[spoiler:Its opposite number Dharkon is a GodOfChaos, [[BothOrderAndChaosAreDangerous and just]] [[OmnicidalManiac as malevolent]]. [[EvilVersusEvil And they hate each other]].]]

* ''Creator/MarvelComics'': Master Order is the CosmicEntity in charge of his namesake. Appearing as an OracularHead, despite his nature he's allies with his brother Lord Chaos and they have a champion in the form of the In-Betweener [[YinYangBomb who represents dichotomies and balance]]. ''ComicBook/TheUltimates2015'' has him angered with Galactus's change to the "Lifebringer" since it changes the status quo. [[spoiler:He ends up consuming and fusing with the other two to become Logos, in hopes of enforcing a new order]].

* It's not rare for ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfics to include an embodiment of order to serve as a counterpart to Discord, the canonical AnthropomorphicPersonification of chaos and disorder. This is often a direct embodiment of Harmony, presented as something of Discord's opposite number in the show, but just as often Harmony and Order are treated as distinct things, with the former acting as a balancing force between the deities/embodiments/avatars of absolute Chaos and absolute Order.
** ''Fanfic/{{Antipodes}}'': Celestia came into being as the primordial embodiment of order, although over time she drifted away from her original elemental nature as she became more and more like mortal ponies.
** ''Fanfic/ChroniclesOfHarmonysEnd'': Array, a WingedUnicorn, embodies order and stability and wishes to eradicate Chaos in order to create a world where Order will rule uncontested. Harmony also exists, but as a balancing force responsible for ensuring that all parts of the universe, including Order and Chaos work together, well, harmoniously. As such, in order to be able to actually get rid of each other, Discord and Array decide to destroy Harmony for good.
** ''Fanfic/TheLastDraconequus'': Chaos and Order, the two main cosmic forces in the setting, act in the world through physical avatars. While multiple Avatars of Chaos have existed throughout history (chaos is rarely big on constancy, after all) with Discord simply being the latest, only one Avatar of Order has ever existed; Matrisse, a mountain of living crystal, that hindered and fought the Avatars of Chaos as they rose and fell. Matrisse is not a good force -- it seeks to enforce absolute order, and at one point sought to destroy all magic after finding it overly chaotic in nature.
** ''Fanfic/ThePowersOfHarmony'': Harmony is the equal and opposite of Discord, representing order and cooperation where he embodies disorder and turmoil.
** ''Fanfic/RomanceAndTheFateOfEquestria'': Sørmur dï Mitgaeard, the eldest and greatest of the new gods -- she's still around twenty-five million years old; the old gods are ''extremely'' old -- is obsessed with order, symmetry and geometric perfection. She finds the chaotic and disordered nature of life and the world loathsome and repellent, and seeks to remake existence into a world of smooth surfaces, metallic reflectiveness and perfect geometric shapes; her end goal involves turning the planet into a perfect, lifeless sphere, thus eliminating all disorder and irregularity from it. Rather ironically, her son is none other than Discord himself -- he was originally a perfectly symmetrical, effectively mindless creature named Accord that Sørmur dï Mitgaeard had created, but eventually remade himself into an avatar of chaos. His mother was... not happy.

* Myth/ClassicalMythology: Zeus, [[TopGod king of the gods]], is seen as a patron of laws and leadership, with SacredHospitality being one of the things he protects -- at least in terms of his job. Personality-wise [[TheHedonist he's a lot more chaotic]] than most examples of a God of Order.

* UsefulNotes/{{Zoroastrianism}}: Zoroastrians worship Ahura Mazda, a GodOfGood who represents order and truth. By contrast, his [[TheAntiGod polar opposite]] Angra Mainyu is a GodOfChaos and lies [[GodOfEvil that represent evil]], and while equal in power, Ahura Mazda is more intelligent, [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin so he inevitably wins]].

* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei''

** ''VideoGame/Persona5'': The GreaterScopeVillain Yaldabaoth(a name for the above-mentioned Demiurge) is the god of order through control, manifested through [[TheHeartless the collective consciousness' desire for control]]. As such, it's a ControlFreak who wishes to bring societal order [[KnightTemplar at all costs]].

* ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse'': The Weaver, one of the three primal spirits that govern reality, is associated with order, stability, and scientific advancement. It seeks to make the world into a perfect, eternal, beautiful structure, and went mad as a result of realizing that it can never do this as long as its counterparts, the Wyld and the Wyrm, constantly mutate and destroy it. Its ongoing attempts to calcify all of reality into its unchanging web make it into a major antagonistic force.

* In ''ComicBook/MalibuComicsMortalKombat'', there's Abacus, the God of Order (who looks like an old librarian) who's also the brother of Zaggot, the GodOfChaos and the BigBad of the miniseries ''Goro: Prince of Pain''. Abacus and Zaggot are [[{{Foil}} foils]] of each other, being also the [[CainAndAbel Abel and Cain]] of the series, and he's the one who taught Goro how to defeat his brother as well giving him a {{BFG}} to stop him.

* Literature/TheBible: While {{God}} is seen as a God of, well ''[[TheOmnipotent everything]]'', being lawful is one of His most mentioned attributes. A lot of what He tells His chosen to do are rules for how to live one's life and organize society, most notably the Ten Commandments.

* In ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' the Titans of the Pantheon are all Gods of Order, serving as BenevolentPrecursors that shape and order the world, and are themselves [[GeniusLoci planets]] fueled by [[MadeOfMagic arcane energy]] as their lifefore

* Myth/EgyptianMythology: While many gods are on the side of order in OrderVersusChaos, the goddess Ma'at is considered the embodiment of order. She represents cosmic balance, and [[GodEmperor the Pharaoh]] was considered a "Lord of Ma'at".

* Myth/EgyptianMythology: While many gods are on the side of order in OrderVersusChaos, Ma'at is considered the embodiment of order. She represents balance, and it's believed [[GodEmperor the Pharaoh]] was a "Lord of Ma'at",

* UsefulNotes/{{Zoroastrianism}}: Followers of Zoroastrianism worship Ahura Mazda, a GodOfGood who represents order and truth. By contrast his [[TheAntiGod opposite number]] Angra Mainyu is a GodOfChaos and lies [[GodOfEvil that represent evil]], and while equal in power Ahura Mazda is more intelligent [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin and inevitably wins]].

-->''"That is what I am, Oree- the steady light that keeps the roiling darkness at bay. The unmoving stone around which the river must flow. You may not like it. You don't like me. But without my influence, this realm would be cacophony, anarchy."''

-->'''Saradomin''': Everyone would have the reassurance that they know where they belong and how they should behave. The people crave. Deep down everyone wants to know where they sit in the world. What you call control, I would argue is true freedom.

* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'': While the Daedra are considered forces of chaos, Jyggalag is the exception to his kin in being the Daedric Prince of Order, specifically associated with Logical Order and Deduction. He was an incredibly powerful ControlFreak [[TheDreaded even other Daedric Princes were scared of]], so they cursed him into an IronicHell of being the most chaotic Daedric Prince of them all; Sheogorath, [[MadGod Daedric God of Madness]].
