Knights Justicar

== Introduction ==
The Knightly Order of Hyperion, more commonly known as the Knights Justicar, or Knights Justicers, is a Sovereign Military Order headquartered in the City of Hyperion, in the Nation of Oceanum. The Order is based around the pursuit of knowledge, and to cleanse it from impurity and disaccord. While the definitions of heresy are vague, and it is not right to be judgemental, all knowledge is sacred, knowledge is what defines us, whether you use it for good or evil is every person's choice, but those who use it for evil, those who taint it with evil, who cause disaccord, they are the enemies of the Knights of Justice.
