Descripción

Defend the church and the faithful

"Non Nobis Domine Non Nobis Sed Nomini Tuo Da Gloriam" — Templar Motto

Templar, member of the Poor Knights of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, a religious military order of knighthood established at the time of the Crusades that became a model and inspiration for other military orders. Originally founded to protect Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land, the order assumed greater military duties during the 12th century. Its prominence and growing wealth, however, provoked opposition from rival orders. Falsely accused of blasphemy and blamed for Crusader failures in the Holy Land, the order was destroyed by King Philip IV of France. The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, mainly known as the Knights Templar, was a French military order of the Catholic faith, and one of the wealthiest and most popular military orders in Western Christianity. They were founded in 1118 to defend pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem, with their headquarters located there on the Temple Mount, and existed for nearly two centuries during the Middle Ages. Officially endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church by such decrees as the papal bull Omne datum optimum of Pope Innocent II, the Templars became a favored charity throughout Christendom and grew rapidly in membership and power. The Templar knights, in their distinctive white mantles with a red cross, were among the most skilled fighting units of the Crusades.

Theme: Devotion to a holy order or faith, fighting as a militant defender of the church or a divine institution. The Templar embodies religious zeal and serves as a frontline protector of the faithful, opposing heretics and unholy forces.

Playstyle: Defensive and radiant-focused. Excel in enduring prolonged combat while shielding the party from harm.

Tenets of the Templar:

Faithfulness. Serve your god and holy order with unwavering devotion.
Protection. Shield the innocent and the faithful from harm.
Purity. Keep yourself free from corruption and act as an example of virtue.
