*sigh* I also have asked about the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart as a PrC or just an organization, but they haven't been updated as of yet to 3e or 3.5. I am hoping that the upcoming Complete Champion has them listed, though I am not certain that they will be. All the information that can be gleaned from the Order is held in the Paladin's Handbook from 2nd Edition. I am sorry I couldn't be more helpful, friend. If you happen to find out more about them, please post it and let me know too. :)

You can get a reasonable ammount of demi-cannon information about them from Baldur's Gate Two: Shadows Of Amn also.

I'm not an expert, but maybe the order of the Radiant Heart was invented for Baldur's Gate 2. I've just checked the old, old book "Lands of Intrigue", which can be downloaded freely here : http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/downloads, and I haven't found any mention of it.

The book was printed in 1994, which I think is a few years before the original Baldur's Gate computer game. Also, I think that the paladin NPC in that game (Adjantis?) mentions the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart as well, though I am not certain.

Zerowing, if you have any questions concerning the Order from a 1st or 2nd Edition standpoint, please feel free to PM me. I can tell you that paladins younger than 40 (in 1st/2nd Edition) could not become members until their 40th birthday, but they could join the Radiant Heart Auxiliary upon reaching 4th level. I hope all of this helps. :)
