Organizations of the Faithful
Reading an Organization Entry
Global | The organization has offices in multiple nations or areas. "Global" here is a relative term, and does not imply centralized control. | |
Localized | The organization is localized. See entry for details. Many Alexandrian-based groups have this feature! | |
NPC | Only for NPCs. |
Temple Affiliations
Most major Temples are a faction unto themselves, and contain many diverse elements. For example, the Daeusite Temples house the Sunguard tradition, as well as others. Not every tradition, such as Sunguards or Silver Chords are necessarily their own organization, though at times they may function as a group. Instead, they are part of a larger umbrella. Temples require a variety of aid and services, and the agendas of deities are as broad as they are diverse in order to provide options for roleplay. These traditions also benefit immensely by being part of the greater structure.

Hunters of the Dead Associated Characters | |
Paladins, monks, inquisitors, rangers Locations: Most everywhere | |
An order focused on the eradication of the undead. | |
These men and women have dedicated their lives to hunting down and destroying the undead. Destruction ranges beyond the battlefield, to the uncovering of necromancers and works to counter Thulite propaganda and cults. The recruiting of new members is semi-formal, and the circumstances may differ on a case-by-case basis. Sufficiently grave threats are usually responded to by a mobilizing of the local members, followed by an organized effort to stop the threat. | |

Silver Crescent Associated Characters | |
Paladins, monks, inquisitors, rangers Locations: Most everywhere | |
An order focused on the eradication of Caracoroth's influence among lycanthropes. | |
An order dedicated to the unmasking, hunting, and even conversion of lycanthropes. The Crescent stands opposite the Children of Garm and the latter's cults. Their work is not easy: shapechangers hide easily among everyday society and must often be rooted out before they may be neutralized. Though Elunans form strong numbers among the Crescent, Gilead's and Danan faiths are well-represented.
Some of their most active members are former or current lycanthropic creatures, themselves. In cases like these, the Crescent can provide them a new identity, and means to move forward outside of Garm's clutches. PCs may use the Skinwalker Prestige Class to emulate this heritage. | |

Paladin Traditions of Ea Associated Characters | |
Paladins Locations: Many temple orders. | |
Most paladins hold a position within their deity's temple, and may find themselves guided by the traditions held within these temples. Sample paladin traditions may be found below. It is also common for paladins to work together across order lines--they are foremost warriors of good and what is good in the world. See individual entry deity pages for titles. | |
Althean Paladin Traditions: Paladins of Althea are often protectors of the weak. They serve often as guards to Althea's good works and as defenders of those who cannot aid themselves. It would be a mistake to call them pacifists. Rather, they are encouraged to be strategic, with both shield and strength.
