	Between 797 and 809, Charlemagne received three emissaries from the [[~~Caliph~~]] [[Harun al-Rashid]] of the [[Abbasid Caliphate]]. Among the gifts they displayed, there was an elaborate water clock made of [[~~Brass\|~~brass]] on which 12 small [[Horseman\|horsemen]] ~~would move~~ around at the end of each hour.

	In May 804, the scholar [[Alcuin]] wrote a letter to Charlemagne regarding the existence of the Order of the Ancients and how they were a parasitic group neglecting [[Christianity\|God]]'s teachings and instead worshipping a race of precursor beings known as the [[Isu]]. Alcuin also informed Charlemagne ~~about~~ the Order's obsession with [[Sage]]s, Isu allegedly reborn as humans. Believing the Order to be blasphemers, Alcuin was unaware that Charlemagne himself was a member of the same organization. Despite being a pious defender of God's will, Charlemagne hid his allegiance well. The Order ~~then~~ had Alcuin killed a week later as he knew too much and his letter was never sent.<ref name="Poor Fellow Soldier"/>		In May 804, the scholar [[Alcuin]] wrote a letter to Charlemagne regarding the existence of the Order of the Ancients and how they were a parasitic group neglecting [[Christianity\|God]]'s teachings and instead worshipping a race of precursor beings known as the [[Isu]].
