KnightsOfTheBurningSunThe Knights of the Burning Sun are the most devoted (some might say blinkered) of the military orders of the Kingdom Of Soltara. The King himself is their Grand Master and they are devoted to the expansion of the kingdom to replace the entire Empire?. The are noted by their white and red robes, gilded armour and their great two-handed swords. They are renowned for their self-righteousness and moral certainty, and hold all others to their exacting standards. Entry to the order is as a novice, unless the applicant is of noble blood or otherwise vouchsafed. The order is solely male, although there is no actual prohibition of women in the order. Brothers of the Order are required to obey the religious restrictions of the order. They may not eat the flesh of birds, which are sacred to the sun, nor may they ride an animal other than a horse. They may take extra vows and may gain gifts of the sun in return. Brothers that reach 90% in 5 skills and have a POW of 15 may become Captains of the Order. Brothers that have a POW of 18 may become Chaplains of the order, who are priests of Arpan, as well as being members of the order. |
