Order Of The Deceived

Structure

• Aspirant: Initial Recruits, trained by experienced members until they were deemed worthy to advance in the ranks.
• Censor: The default members of the Order. A squad of Censors was commanded by a High Sensor.
• Justicar: Justicars were members of the order operating solo or in pairs. The High Justicars could undertake missions, leading squads of Censors.
• Inquisitor: The driving force of the Order, Inquisitors were again operating alone and had the power to execute orders without prior approval. The High Inquisitors usually led battalions of the Order into combat.
• Tribune: The Tribunes were placed as advisors to Kings and Queens. Effectively their word was law and had absolute power over the kingdom they resided in. High Tribune was the rank assigned to the Tribunes in times of war.
• Adjutant Imperator: The Adjutant Imperator was the title given to the second in command under the Imperator. The title didn't exist until after the death of Nathan Whytelaw.
• Imperator: Known as Grand Imperator during the reign of Nathan Whytelaw, the title was changed in his honor from his successor, Imperator Jokaster. The Imperator wass the commander of the Order in times of peace and war.

Public Agenda

The Order's mandate, known as Bloody Mandate, was established with the purpose of uniting Aell under a single ruler and abolishing religion. The Church of the Holy Unity was disbanded during the first years of the Order's creation and all worshiping of Gods and other Deities was banned. Each kingdom was assigned an advisor of sorts, with the goal of monitoring and proving updates to the Order over the status of the kingdom.
In later years, following the death of Nathan Whytelaw, this changed and the Order effectively took control of the kingdoms and quelled any resistance that remained.

Assets

At the peak of its power, the Order boasted the largest army across Aell, a fortress within each kingdom and connections within each organization. Funded by taxing the kingdoms they advised, the Order's headquarters in Axionis was the largest and most prosperous city in Aell.
