One of the eight orders of [[Wizard's magic|wizardry]]. The head of the Order at the time of {{TLF}} was [[Eliaz Churn]]'

==Annotation==

Thankfully nothing to do with occult mysteries, secret societies, conspiracy theory or the generally arcane.

Perhaps it was thought that for completion of the mystical number [[7a]], the [[Unseen University]] needed an eighth Order of wizardry for completion's sake.

The name evokes the time-honoured cry of the British publican at closing time: ''"Last orders, please!"'', which, as anyone familiar with British pubs will know, provokes a rush to the bar for several drinks each, closely followed by a desperate period of binge-drinking, trying to get it all down your neck in the half-hour or so while ''"Time, gentlemen, please!"'' inevitably becomes ''"Have you got no homes to go to?".''

it is possible that this Order started out as nothing more sinister than a student drinking club (given the affinity between [[students]] and [[pubs]]).

In the manner of these things, people who have been drinking together as undergraduates for over three years will see no reason to cease just because they have passed their final exams and become fully-fledged wizards.
