| − | + | The Order of the Temple is aware of how close the end of the | |
| + | world is. It knows the duties it must perform for the mortals of | ||
| + | Aarklash. It knows that the gods worshipped by most peoples | ||
| + | are bogus icons and perfidious magical creatures who abuse | ||
| + | the gullibility of mortals. These soldiers are at the heart of a | ||
| + | merciless struggle to save the people of Aarklash and bring | ||
| + | them into Merin’s Light. They have chosen a symbol that resembles their mission: the Griffin, as it combines the determination of the lion and the vigilance of the bird of prey. | ||
| + | The Order of the Temple governs four protectorates scattered | ||
| + | across Aarklash: the Ivory Dunes, part of the Bran-Ô-Kor, the | ||
| + | Plain of Tears and an enclave in the Barhan city of Icquor. Each | ||
| + | of these territories is governed by a templar commander who | ||
| + | answers only to the grand master of the Temple and to the Emperor. However, each commandery includes a chapel of Merin | ||
| + | and a priest appointed by the pope. The Order of the Temple | ||
| + | still has to deal with the official church of Akkylannie. | ||
| + | The Order of the Temple is famous for the fanaticism | ||
| + | and ardor of its soldiers, the divine power of its priests and | ||
| + | the accuracy of the fusiliers. Guided by their faith in Merin, | ||
| + | the brothers of the Temple never give up. They are aided by | ||
| + | powerful Incarnates, instruments of a divine force determined to see Light spread across Aarklash. Each victory for | ||
| + | the Temple is a new stone added to the building of a collective | ||
| + | dream: one god, one empire. | ||
