Hallowed Lightbringers of Illustria

Clad in shining armor and fuelled by righteous zeal, the
knights of the Hallowed Lightbringers take up blades and spells against the
fiendish tide. After the two infernal incursions within Sanctus’s borders, the
Hallowed Lightbringers were established as a constant wall and vigilant hunters
against all things infernal and demonic. Stationed within the holy city itself,
Illustria, stalwart knights are sent out on missions to stand against fiendish
foes. These range from simple demon hunts, to rooting out infernal corruption
by social and political espionage and infiltration.

The Knight-Commander is blessed by an archangel when brought
up to their station. The wisdom of the archangel always guiding the commander
to threats that would harm Sanctus.

## Inside the Lightbringers

Angels of lower rank in Mount Celestia will on occasion
accompany a Lightbringer on their mission. Their opinions and advice are deeply
respected and held in high esteem. From the perspective of a Lightbringer, it
is a great honor to have an angel accompany you on your mission. Paladins who
have sworn their own sacred oaths form the strongest relationships with these
angels and some become regular teams that go out and perform missions together.

The Knight-Divine is second to the Knight-Commander and
there can only be 7 at any given time. They provide missions to the other
knights of the hall. The garrison or hall itself is known as Hallow Hall, in
the temple district of Illustria. It provides the basic needs such as bedding
and food to its knights. It is also the central temple of worship for the
Lightbringers as there are shrines and chapels to each Elysium and Zodiac
deity.

## Goals of the Lightbringers

Wherever demons run rampant, petty tyrannical exploits of
devils or other fiendish activity happens within Magnus Terra, the
Lightbringers are there fighting to make things right. The tension within the
order however is that many of its knights are driven by passion and emotion,
often being wronged by the dark powers and are sworn to smite it. They have to
combat their urge for vengeance and righteousness and establishing permanent
harmony and order.

Their ultimate goal: Create a safe kingdom of mortals,
free from fiendish influence. To achieve such a goal, rules need to be followed
and sometimes the righteous fury of the Lightbringers blinds them and the break
the rules they create.

The Lightbringers usually handpick their members from the
Hallowed Guard of Illustria during their training, taking the most prospectus
trainees into Hallow Hall. They also take orphans and refugees that have been
wronged by fiends and train them if they are willing.

**Knight-Vindicator**
*(Renown 5 or* higher, 6th level or higher)
*Knight-Vindicators are the low level officers of Hallow*
Hall. They are asked for their opinions and insights into strategies or how to
approach a mission by Vigilants or Initiates alike. They also are given the
responsibility of training orphans or take an Initiate under their personal
teaching. Their missions are often still simple enough but important.

**Knight-Vigilant**
*(Renown 25 or* higher, 12th level or higher)
*The Knight-Vigilants are the experienced veterans of the*
Lightbringers and often have taken personal oaths. Their missions are important
and difficult, facing powerful or elusive foes. They are the only knights
allowed to go beyond Magnus Terra for missions. They are given the
responsibility of overseeing the defence of Illustria and defending, reclaiming
or uncovering places or artifacts of worship through the world of Orbis.

**Knight-Divine**
 *(Renown 50 or* higher, 17th level or higher)
 *There are only 7 Knight-Divines at any given point. They*
act as the right hands of the Knight-Commander. They pass out missions to all
the Vigilants, Vindicators and Initiates. They’re roles are primary scholarly
at this point in their career. Always on the hunt of finding new information of
fiends and strategize how to combat them. Very rarely are they called onto the
battlefield.

**Knight-Commander**The Knight-Commander is the leading figure of the Lightbringers. The Knight-Commander and an archangel work together in unison to lead the Lightbringers to their ultimate goal.
