Orders

Kunduktørs (“Guardians”) tend to the dead, take vows of silence, and study the nature of death in the search for understanding of universal and eternal law. Hazlani Kunduktørs spawned the heresy that the Great Upheaval marked the destruction of the Lawgiver, drainingg the faith and its rites of their life.

Gudkædes (God-chains) are the marshal order sworn to the defence of the Church and the destruction of its enemies. They are not quite the force that they once were, for want of occasion to exercise their strength.

Jernspørgsmålers (Iron Inquisitors) are the fire fighters of the church, extinguishing the lives of heretics and traitors. They creep into every corner of the institution, often disguised in the cloth of their prey.

Didakti (Teachers) are the fire inspectors of the church, ever seeking and testing flaws and weaknesses of character or of reasoning that could be the fuel or the spark of heresy and treason. They work closely with the Jernspørgsmålers, but are far more given to pondering the fall into, and nature of, unrighteousness.

Orders have their own internal hierarchy and are answerable only to the Pave of their land and the Himmelsk Naeve.
