The '''Most Distinguished Imperial Order of the Holy Cross''' is a Levantine Imperial Catholic order of chivalry, rewarding contributions advancement of the cause of the Levantine Union and the Levantine Catholic Church. The Order was established by Emperor Conchobar III in 1555 as a reward for those giving service to faith and Empire during the Great Confessional War. Like some other institutions of the Holy Levantine Empire, the Order continued to exist past the Treaty of Corcra, and it exists today in the stewardship of the Apostolic King of Urcea, who also holds the title of Emperor of the Levantines. Since the end of the Great War, membership in the Order has been granted for those who perform an act of service for the Levantine Union, recognizing it as a successor of the Empire.

The Western Kingdom of the Levantines (Latin: Regnum Levantorum Occidentalis) or the Western Levantine Kingdom was a successor state of Conchobar's Levantine Empire created by the empire's division among the three sons of Emperor Brian III in 917. The western kingdom was given to Brian III's youngest son, Aemon, who ruled the kingdom until his death in 947. It would then be inherited by Aemon's only son, Lorcan, who would rule the kingdom until 978 when the now greatly diminished realm was dissolved after Lorcan was captured during a rebellion by the kingdom's Carnish and Gaelic vassal lords.

In 995, Duncan, petty king of Dunaird, succeeded in uniting the numerous Carnish lords under his rule. With the Carnish lords once again united under a single ruler, Duncan founded the Kingdom of Carna becoming its first king and beginning more than a millennia of independent Carnish rule. The founding of the Kingdom of Carna caused Lorcan's eldest son, Brian, to abandon his claim to the lands west of the newly reformed Levantine Empire, recognising that any attempt to re-establish the Western Levantine Kingdom would now be unlikely to succeed.
