[Organisations] Fighting Forces and Secret Societies

Fighting Forces and Secret Societies

This thread contains information about the world's fighting forces, particularly the elite groups mentioned elsewhere. It also contains information over the world's secret societies and ancient conspiracies. Don't venture too deep, or they might find out.

THE EMPEROR'S CHILDREN

The Emperor's Children form the most elite division of the Imperial military, charged with the protection of the Emperor. They are the only soldiers allowed to bear the Imperial Phoenix, others making do with the Aquila of Byzantium, for their honour and courage are doubtless and obvious. They are also given the best equipment with which to guard the Emperor, and are personally led by General Aurelian, the right hand of Lord Commander Lucius. They also have access to a Stormbird-class Sky Battleship, the Aurelian, designed for speed and transport above all things.

The Emperor's Children also have in their organisation a cohort of highly skilled mages, called the Inner Circle, who are the most skilled mages in the Empire of the Phoenix.

THE ORDO SACRATUS

To understand the secretive and shadow-shrouded Ordo Sacratus, one must understand the Catholic Church and its history. After the disaster of the First Crusade, the Catholic Church founded three sacred orders - the Ordo Evangelista, the Ordo Sacratus and the Ordo Magister. The Ordo Evangelista (or Order of the Word Bearers) was founded to proselytise, the Ordo Sacratus (the Sacred Order) to fight the Church's enemies, and the Ordo Magister (the Order of the Master) to co-ordinate their efforts.

The Ordo Sacratus often worked together with the Inquisition, using the Inquisitors to divine the location of the enemy and the Ordo Sacratus to destroy them. In time, the Ordo Sacratus allowed mages to join and aid them in the constant battle against That Which Lies Outside, the countless horrors outside of our dimension that ceaselessly seek to break in.

The oath of the Ordo Sacratus is threefold:

'I will not suffer the undead.'

'I will not suffer the unclean.'

'I will not suffer the abomination.'


After this the initiate is now part of the Ordo Sacratus, and is a Neophyte of the Order. He may then progress to Knight, then Master, and maybe eventually Grand Master, the leader of the Order. The Ordo Sacratus is secret, like the Inquisition, and the two organisations share a common partnership, bound together by alliance and custom. It is an organisation of modern-day holy knights, which has power wherever there is a Catholic majority in the region.

The secret services of the Great Powers do know about the Ordo Sacratus, and work together occasionally against the dark powers Outside that plan to break in.

THE DRAGON KNIGHTS

The Dragon Knights are the Kingdom of Britannia's most elite military force, a terrible force for any enemy to face. As their name indicates, they ride dragons, using them to fly in the air and devastate the enemy from above, and are highly skilled in aerial combat. They are most often led in battle by Prince Anthony, who commands them and is an expert Dragon-rider as well as a skilled mage and sorcerer.

The Dragon Knights were founded in 1518, and have a truly immense amount of battle honours, including the First and Second Armadas, sent by Spain to conquer England.
