Templar

The Templar is a unit belonging to The Empire.

Background

The sound of ten thousand feet stomping in unison is the herald of the army of the Overworld — at its front one can see rank upon rank of the stalwart Templar.

Any boy at the age of 16 can choose to enlist in the Templar Academy, training is split between two years in drills and weapons followed by another two with a member of the Church, during the latter those gifted with “the light” learn to harness its power. Upon completion of training they are placed within the Empire army and those fortunate enough to be blessed by Kira are given the esteemed position of Templar.

While they are not particularly fearsome on their own, their seemingly endless ranks will crash upon their opponents in ceaseless waves — overwhelming the opposing forces in their fierce devotion to both the protection of their loved ones and the Empire.

In combat the Templar will stand against even the most fearsome opponent if commanded to by his captain. Their ability to call upon Kira to strike enemies with bursts of holy light in addition to removing unholy energies from himself make the Templar a powerful fighter in skirmishes and large-scale battles.
