History
Origin
The Lords of Order were the first sentient race that evolved in the universe that emerged on the planet Cilia. (JSA v1 #42)
The forces of order and chaos were engaged in an unending struggle throughout the Multiverse. Nabu became an exiled Lord of Order who descended to take human form as he became a guardian condemned to Earth for eternity. (DC Special Series v1 #10)
By the modern day, the Lords of Order intervened in a battle between Doctor Fate and Typhon where they took Nabu along with his host away. They believed that the current cycle was lost to chaos and that their foes should be allowed to win whereupon they could triumph in the following age. Nabu pleaded with them to reconsider as such a path led to the death of billions but the Lords of Order had made their decision. (Doctor Fate v1 #1)

Notes
In other media
Television
- In Batman: The Brave and the Bold animated series, the Lords of Order make an appearance with them being led by Nabu where they appeared alongside their chaotic counterparts to reveal the history relating to Equinox. Nabu along with his fellow Lords of Order would be defeated by Equinox who absorbed their power along with the Lords of Chaos.
- In Young Justice, the Lords of Order were represented only through Nabu in his guise as Doctor Fate in the animated television series. It was said that they like the Lords of Chaos could not act directly on the mortal plane but needed an anchor to hold them with Nabu investing his essence in the Helm of Fate.
Video Games
- In DC Universe Online, the Lords of Order were mentioned as one faction supporting the Justice League by offering equipment to players.
- In Injustice 2, the Lords of Order appeared in the setting of the fighting video game with Doctor Fate being one of their agents. They sought to preserve order but the conflict between Superman's followers and Batman's heroes caused chaos. As a result, when Brainiac arrived they sought to ensure his success as they believed he brought order. Doctor Fate warned that unless the chaos was stopped then it mattered not if Brainiac was defeated as the Lords of Order would intervene in other ways.
