[quote=@TJByrum] [@Lady Sven] I have posted my bio in the CHAR tab. The Order is ambiguous in morality, and so I want them to be viewed negatively. But whatever you think of them, they're a necessary evil (at least, in my head-canon). No one else is willing to stand on the ramparts in some gods-forsaken wasteland like the Knight-Brothers; no one else is willing to commit the atrocities they are willing to commit. Then again, that's just my head-canon, take it and use it as you will. On another site, the Brothers would attack pagan villages in the midst of the night, drag the occupants into the streets, and then force them to convert. Those who agreed were put on wagons and escorted to pacified lands where they were given fertile land and good protection. Those who refused were brutally butchered in the street, in front of everyone, as a warning to anyone else who might oppose the will of the Brotherhood. EDIT: At that time, the Brothers were trying to purge that area of a specific kind of worship; they did so with brutal efficiency. [/quote] A lot of their most extreme practices would not be accepted by Conran leadership. Like they have rules to follow to continue to operate, though they have probably earned some leeway over the years. There are other orders and racial churches in the the city. When they came to Conra, I can picture the ruler of the time deeming them a necessary evil of sorts. They can't be too extreme. Humans are numerous in Conra but so are all the other races. Elves would have their own version of an Order trying to purify their race once again by calling them back to their homeland. Goblnoid Races have advocacy groups and unions. Conra is a melting pot. I am not saying some things didn't or don't happen but that gets into the racy and dark side of things.
