Clerical Orders

Clerical Orders are largely self-sufficient organisations that seek to identify and train potential clerics and paladins. Orders are generally (although not always) much more inward looking than temples and basilica, although most welcome pilgrims and travellers. 
Because of their militaristic bent, many monasteries often have soldiers from one of the imperial companies stationed within them. Nominally under the command of the masters and grand masters, they undertake duties usually covered by town militia as well as anything else requested of them.
