The Silver Blade of Ezra is a heresy first discussed on the Fraternity of Shadows forums here: https://fraternityofshadows.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8239

Originating from Dementlieu, the Silver Blade is composed of Lawful Evil, Lawful Neutral and a very few True Neutral Clerics who believe that the Church's mission is being actively sabotaged both by unbelievers and outright enemies of the faith. Rather than vanquish the Legions of the Night, they are focused on subduing and destroying entirely secular authorities and mundane people.

The Silver Blade's Clerics are devout believers, but are convinced that the end of glorifying Ezra and bringing all people under her Grace justifies the means -- any means, including using the very powers that Ezra opposes. In the name of their faith, the Anchorites of the Silver Blade have engaged in the animating of undead, the creation of flesh golems and even the infecting of innocents with lycanthropy, all for the purposes of bringing about the very publically slaughter of people who have been too vocal about refusing the Grace of Ezra, or who they suspect of being enemies of the faith, blasphemers or heretics, to 'prove' that to refuse Ezra's protection is the same as courting death. The irony being, of course, that they are themselves the agents of a vicious heresy.

Anchorites who ally with the Silver Blade can be found in any place a normal Anchorite would, even travelling the world to spread the word of their goddess. The main difference is that in addition to protecting the faithful, they quest to slay unbelievers. The qabal is currently not large in numbers (roughly thirteen members are known to exist), and it meets on an irregular basis in the catacombs beneath Ste. Mere des Larmes cathedral to discuss their progress in purging the land of unbelievers, as well as add to what they believe shall be the Fifth Book of Ezra; their own Silver Book of Ezra. Fortunately, no member of the Silver Blade has manifested a unique manifestation of the Shield of Ezra as of yet, preventing the qabal from claiming independent status.
