Roles of the Order

Every member of the order is an expert in their own right, and as is tradition, they have been gifted with a Brand to mark themselves as part of the order, enhance their existing abilities, and to provide a way to cover up member activity, as a branded body will Disintegrate upon death.

Inquisitors- Brand of Finding- Known as “Inquisitors”, these individuals that receive the Brand of Finding are those that have been shown to have great skill in operating individually, in addition to being some of the most all-around resourceful members. Inquisitors are often sent on mission alone, with objectives such as seeking information, hunting down a target, or even assassinations. When in the field, they will acquire assistance as they see fit, usually through mercenaries. Rarely though, will they inform their help of the true purpose of their mission.

Whisperers- Brand of Handling- Known as “Whisperers”, these individuals that receive the Brand of Handling are those that have been shown to have great skill in connecting with animals and the natural world, almost at a primal level. Whisperers are those that will breed and raise the strongest horses, ravens, etc. and keep them loyal to the order. Some members have been known to even coax or commune with beasts and monstrosities of lesser intelligence, and even fewer Whisperers have the advanced ability to Awaken plants and wildlife, who will also work on behalf of the order.

Craftsmen- Brand of Making- Known as “Craftsmen”, these individuals that receive the Brand of Making are those that have been shown to have a skill of creation and tinkering like no other. Using the finest tools, in addition to techniques dating back thousands of years thought by most to be lost to time, the Craftsmen maintain and create the equipment and devices used by the order.

Heralds- Brand of Passage- Known as “Heralds”, these individuals that receive the Brand of Passage are the messengers of the order. They are able to move quietly and reliably to get from point A to B to relay orders and directives between agents and safehouses. While there are plenty of methods to send information without the need to be in person, it is imperative that said information is not intercepted, and the Heralds make it so. There are also many Heralds throughout the continent seeded in important cities, doing nothing but picking up rumors, hear-say, and observing. They do not actively seek out information, only knowing where to be to pick up on the rumor mill. These members live seemingly normal lives in the cities which they inhabit.

Knights- Brand of Sentinel- Known as “Knights”, these soldiers have extensive experience and training fighting their eternal foe, among many others. Chosen to be Knights due to their innate psychic prowess, their abilities with both mind and blade were honed to near perfection. These Psi Warriors are rarely seen outside of the few remaining sanctums, instead remaining as the elite last line of defense in case of attack. Only when deemed absolutely necessary would the Lord of the sanctum give the order for the Knights to venture out.
