* After the destruction of the Jedi Order in between the events of ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' and ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'', [[PlayerCharacter Meetra Surik]]'s [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits apprentices]] canonically rebuild the Order essentially from scratch, given that none ever had formal Jedi training other than what Meetra taught them.

They went on every four years (stopping wars in the process, at least temporarily) until Emperor Theodosius I of Rome suppressed them in 394 AD. The concept was revived on and off starting in the 17th Century until an explicit International Olympic Committee was formed in 1890 (though no longer in honor of Greek mythological gods, the more general idea of different nations competing in competitions less brutal than war stuck).

While it was once considered an honorable calling by all, most kingdoms believe it to have lost its purpose since the SealedEvilInACan behind the Wall hasn't been active for thousands of years.

Long ago, there existed [[TheOrder an order]] of people who battled evil valiantly but have since fallen into disarray and were ultimately forgotten. But as the [[UltimateEvil ancient evil]] rises its head again, a new group of heroes will take up the fallen banner of their ancestors and defend the world that they passed down to them in their name.

* The New Jedi Order established by Luke Skywalker from the no-longer-canon ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' ExpandedUniverse is the archetypal example. They used to be a major force in the galaxy, then they diminished into Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. Both of them lived in exile. Then they took turns training Luke Skywalker, who ushers in a new era for the Jedi.

%%* Oddly enough, even the ''Old'' [[Franchise/StarWars Jedi Order]] is one of these in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords''.

* During ''Anime/{{Inuyasha}}'', Naraku brought about the end of the Demon Slayers by luring their strongest away for a mission, and then leading a horde of demons to attack the their village. Fora while, Sango and Kohaku were the only ones left. By the time of ''Anime/YashahimePrincessHalfDemon'', they have recovered.

* ''Literature/HarryPotter'': The Order of the Phoenix was formed during the dark times when [[BigBad Voldemort]] and his Death Eaters were wreaking havoc on the magical community. Once Voldemort returns (despite the vehement insistence of the Ministry of Magic to the contrary), the Order reforms. Because it's only been 15 years since Voldemort had first disappeared and he was thought to be permanently defeated, the Order is primarily composed of its (surviving) original members.

He also wants to save the wildlings as any human being who dies north of the Wall rises as a wight.
