+====== Ordre des Templiers ======
+The Église de la Flamme d'Argent includes three orders
+of clergy: ministers who tend congregations, friars who
+spread the faith, and templars who fight evil in the flesh.
+Your group has been ordained as templars and sent into
+war against the forces of evil.
+As templars of the Flamme d'Argent, you have distinctive
+silver tabards to wear over your other clothing or armor.
+You also have the privilege of using a knightly honorific
+before your name (typically "sir" or "lady"), and you are
+immediately recognized as a knight, an agent of the
+church, and effectively a lesser member of Thrane's
+aristocracy. This status guarantees the good will of
+members of the church and citizens of Thrane, but
+carries less weight and might even provoke animosity
+outside Thrane.
+Hierarchy. The order of the Templars of the Silver
+Flame is represented on the Council of Cardinals that
+serves as the governing body of Thrane and the church.
+Seven commanders govern the knights of the order under
+the Grand Master's leadership: one for each of the
+Cinq Nations of old, one for foreign lands, and one for
+the seas. Their assistants carry the title of marshal, but
+no real division of rank exists beneath them.
+Knights templar are free to wander the world in pursuit
+of the order's aims. When leaving the jurisdiction
+of one commander and entering that of another, it is a
+knight's responsibility to promptly report to the commander
+of the new area, in case that commander has
+a pressing need for a knight to perform a mission. The
+commanders try to keep each other informed about
+where knights are operating and what they are doing,
+but this system works better in some places-and between
+some commanders-than others.
+Allies. The other two orders of the Church of the
+Flamme d'Argent's clergy-ministers and friars-staunchly
+support the knights templar. Even when there is rivalry
+among the leaders of these orders and other officials
+of the church, the rank and file members support each
+other regardless of order. You can count on these clergy
+to help you secure spellcasting services, and to offer you
+other material aid within reason.
+Enemies. Since the order of knights templar is sworn
+to exterminate supernatural evil, such creatures are
+always hostile when they recognize a knight templar.
+The following groups and creatures viciously oppose the
+templars of the Flamme d'Argent:
+Fiends and Mort-vivant. Unnatural beings loathe templars,
+as they represent everything these foul creatures
+despise-light, life, hope, and good. These menaces
+sometimes go to great lengths to trap and destroy templars,
+and fiends take particular pleasure in corrupting
+the faithful to evil.
+Lycanthropes. All types and alignments of lycanthropes
+have a particular hatred for the Church of the
+Flamme d'Argent, thanks to the crusade that nearly exterminated
+their kind over a century ago. Férals are
+uncomfortable with the templars for the same reason.
+L'Ordre de la Griffe d'Émeraude. Tied as it is to the
+Le Sang Divin and the worship of the Mort-vivant, the Order
+of la Griffe d'Émeraude opposes the Church of the Silver
+Flame and its agents in the world.
