Saints - T

Templars = The Knights Templar once served the Church faithfully and were counted among its top defenders. Those days, sadly, are no more... While a few Templar splinter groups may remain loyal, the bulk of the Templar Knights have now turned on the Church for the betrayal they suffered in France when King Phillip the Fair launched a smear campaign that resulted in the near destruction of the Chapter. For more info see Knights Templar. 
Three Branches = The 3 Branches of the Order of Priests are the major lines of division for the Priests. Each is based on one of the 3 Abrahamic religions; the main branch of the Priests for Christianity, the Caliphate for the Muslims, and the Rabbinic for the Jews. 
Tradition = If it's one thing the Order of Priests value, it's their Traditions of God and His saints. Tradition is very important and even the most liberal member of the Priestly Order would be considered conservative by the standards of most other Orders.
Trials of the Saints = In order to progress in their spiritual development, Saints have had to endure powerful attacks of various kinds from the forces of Darkness. Known as the Trials of the Saints, any Priest who takes up the path of a particular Saint can expect to be tempted and tormented in similar fashion. The Trials will not be easy, but for those who endure and finish the challenge, they will emerge stronger and more enlightened for it. 
Tribe = The Priests are born from the existence of Tribes, so it stands to reason they would be more than pesky about the finer points of their Tribe. What is the parameters of the Tribe, its teachings, who speaks for it? Who is loyal and who is in schism, who is orthodox and who is a heretic? Priests often come across as clique-ish because they feel a need to protect the Tribe's membership and reputation.
