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. | |||
