Knights Hospitaller

Summary
The Knights Hospitaller are part of the Western Heartland Pantheon and the primary military order of the church. The Hospitallers dedicate themselves to the eradication of the unholy and the preservation of the Church's interests. With the Church being as well funded as it is; most Hospitallers are well equipped wielding arming swords and wearing full plate.

The Hospitallers are divided into chapters that are classified by what province they are defending such as the Weston Chapter. Chapters will seldom be seen operating outside of their assigned province but will come together if the need arises.

Because of intervention by the players, the Weston Chapter has been forced to bring in an Inquisitor who has taken full command of the chapter and is taking a neutral response to the potential uprising in Weston; much to the dismay of the Knight Commander.

Doctrine
The Knights Hospitaller is a military order meaning they follow the word of Thiamus, also referred to as The Warrior. As a result Hospitallers hold pride in their martial abilities and hold the honor of their chapter high.

The Knights Hospitaller show a zero tolerance towards the unholy and those that would aid them. Mercy is seldom shown towards the corrupted as a 'better safe than sorry' attitude is taken when dealing with the enthralled.

Races
The Knights Hospitaller is an almost all human order. Finding any non-human in the Hospitallers is beyond rare, but those few are devout and loyal towards the order and their brothers and sisters. Despite the zeal that the non-human knights often show a racial tension still exists within the order.
