The Order of Saint Siresius (Khadenz: Vedlan ti'Deker Sirrezh; Latin: Ordo sancti Siresii), or the Siresian Order, is a a Catholic religious order of monastic communities. The order was founded by Saint Siresius, who reformed the Great Monastery of Ro'ekha in the 630s and 640s.

From the 1020s to the late 1490s, the Siresian Order possessed a militant branch in the Knights of Saint Misrav, named for Saint Misrav who had joined the monastery at Ro'ekha around 480 only to be expelled soon after. At that point, the religious community of Ro'ekha pursued cenobitic monasticism. It was not until the Abbot Sirrezh's reforms that the order established additional monasteries to spread Christianity and the Gospel to other parts of Cadenza and, later, supported by the Knights of Saint Misrav, to Kur'zhet and Azmir.

Today, the Siresian Order is the largest monastic order in the Trellinese Empire, with an estimated three thousand monks across Cadenza, Kur'zhet and Trellin and over a thousand more internationally.
