Templar Lore

The Templars have been fiercely active in history for a thousand years now, and during that time their organization(s) has grown, sophisticated itself, reformed and even suffered schism. All in the name of growth and progress. Templars have developed countless codes, hidden treasures, and long lost secrets. Literally thousands of Holy Relics and unknown documents of exotic origin are in their care. 
The history of the Templars has become so deep and complicated that a working understanding of it is a whole field of study in and of itself. Templar Lore is a skill or knowledge set picked up by many members of the Temple who seek to better understand the origins of their own knighthood. Scribes who join as Knights are often occupied full-time in accumulating, cataloging and learning all they can about Templar Lore. 
Those versed in Templar Lore will have superior knowledge of the following:
-Historic buildings associated with the Templars, especially churches, cathedrals and castles built, modified or otherwise owned by the Temple at some point in time.
-A working understanding of the many Templar codes, coded frequencies and methods of secret transmission used by Templar Knights throughout the world.
-A better understanding of the various sects and divisions within the family of Templar groups, including knowledge of various symbols, slogans, and heraldry. 
-Templar safe houses, bases of operations, equipment supplies, bank accounts, investment portfolios, real estate holdings, etc.
