Adeptus Justicari

The Adeptus Justicari is the official church of Yiortis, Empire God of Justice in The Empire. There are two main roles served by the Adeptus Justicari, first is the operation of the churches of Yiortis and training of the Empire Soldiers for the Imperial Army. The second is the oversight and operation of a large number of Paladin Orders through the empire. The power of the Adeptus Justicari dates back to the Golden Age of Magic, where the holy orders of Yiortis watched over cities and villages. Nowadays their prominance has become overshadowed by the power of the Inquisition during the Calamity and the Church of Vitaria in terms of supporting and helping the peasants. However, they have very close ties with the Army, as they provide the soldiers, and they operate a large force of Paladins and Priests themselves, never mind the number of Paladin and Knightly orders they can call upon at a time of need. While their power has been reduced through time, they are still a powerful force, militarily and politically and have the support and respect of the average people, as well as the nobility.

Structure

It's important that the distinction between the entity that is the Adeptus Justicari and the holy orders of Yiortis is clear. The holy orders operate under the umbrella of the Adeptus Justicari, but are separate entities with a lot of freedom.Depending on the order and how far from the center of the main church it is, its possible that there have been centuries since an order communicated with the church at large.

Public Agenda

The deliverance of justice in the Empire and the protection of its citizens from evil of all kinds.

Tenets of Faith

The paladins of Yiortis serve justice in two ways, on the one hand they protect and watch over towns and cities, ensuring that no injustice happens from the inside, and on the other hand they strike out against the enemies of the empire and deliver divine justice upon them.
