As a staple guild of [[Antioch]], the '''Holy Justicar Knights''' have served as paragons of virtue for
centuries. With a lauded history as guardians and sheriffs of fire and faith in the desert, these
paladins wield sacred spiritual might and hardened steel in the defense of the pure. The Knights
Templar keep a strict code of honor, holding themselves to lofty ideals: justice for the victimized,
protection for the innocent, alms for the needy, and gentility in the face of the crass vulgarity of
the tainted practitioners of magick and demonology. Knights must keep their bodies pure and mighty
in order to combat the forces that threaten Antioch, and their faith must remain strong in order to
bind the wicked and bring sinners to justice.
The Holy Order of Justicar Knights traces its history to the beginning of Antioch. They were once
ancient warrior-guardians of the desert, with their roots in the [[Wardancers]] caste. In 1100 AD they
parted with the guild to serve as defenders of the newly formed Cleric missionaries. They would soon
become distinct from either group, as they quickly balanced their faith and swordsmanship with
smithing and chivalry and took up the mantle of peacekeepers and protectors of Antioch.
Justicar Knights do battle with a unique blend of swordplay and shields, raising birds of prey as
companions to supplement their skill with steel. With their devotion to purity and the Gods, they
wreak fearsome and wondrous miracles that ensnare their foes and guard the faithful. Their knowledge
of the forge is unmatched, and they are renowned as the premier crafters of fine swords and armor,
with the most advanced smiths able to craft the magnificent suits of fullplate. Through these skills,
the Justicars may be dangerous foes or powerful allies, and most definitely are a force to be
reckoned with.
