[center][h1][b][u]Evette[/u][/b][/h1] & [h1][b][u]The First Templars[/u][/b][/h1] [/center] [hr] Four promising recruits had been gathered. All of them from Korstone or the surrounding villages. All of them skilled, and all of them seemingly dedicated to the cause. The ingredients themselves had not been too hard to gather. Now, it was time to begin. They stood on a hill. The moon loomed overhead. She had thought long and hard about how to go about this. There should be some sort of ceremony, she decided. This was a holy duty. So, she looked upon the first of her recruits - a warrior from the countryside, with a copper sword and hide armour. “Do you swear to eradicate all abominations, and all threats to humankind?” “By Cadien’s Grace, I swear it,” the man answered. “Do you swear to protect the innocent, whatever the cost?” “By Gibbou’s Shield, I swear it.” “And do you swear to serve as a beacon of hope? To lend your aid to those who need it?” “By Oraelia’s Light, I swear it.” She handed him a clay cup. He eyed the red liquid warily, and then drank. He gagged slightly, but was able to force it down. The effects were almost immediate. His eyes widened, as he felt his reflexes increase and his eyes adjusted themselves to the darkness. She went through the rest of her recruits, and did the same. There was a guardsman from Korstone. A mage, also from Korstone. And a hunter from a rural village. They all drank, and they all changed. “It is done,” she declared. “You are now Templars of the Night.” [hr] [hider=Post Summary] An initiation ritual in which Evette inducts the first Night Templars.

For example, the Iskrill: they were once human, and Cadien loathes what was done to them, so they are affected. It works on vampires and witches, too.
