Order of Vindication

The order was once tricked by He Who Whispers into the massacre of whole cities, believing them to be corrupt by the very entity that manipulated them. Dedicated to righting this great atrocity of their elder's passed, the order focuses on protecting the innocent, destroying evil and offering second chances to those who have caused harm. Redemption can often be found for these wayward souls within the ranks of the Order, by following the Holy Oath.

The Order has a ruthless reputation for the way they handle those that do not wish to atone for their wrong doings. They are swift to punish those that cannot be redeemed via various available methods of gruesome execution, making examples of evil-doers to the general populace of the Mainland.
