Templar Order

The Templar Order was a military sect of the Falaran Tathamite Church whose initial role was to seek out and destroy apostate mages, magical beasts and creatures and other misuses of magic and magical artefacts across the realm. In the First Age they wore heavy plate armour and were known for their Spell-Breaker swords and Spell-Guard shields which were enchanted to better aid their battles with spellcasters. 
In the Second Age however their purpose largely shifted and they became the paramilitary wing of the Falaran Tathamite Church tasked with the protection of their interests against the consolidation of power within the nobility and court of the Emperor of the Falaran Empire.

Culture

The Templar Order was a highly devout place whose number were known for their devotion to Tatham and diligence in their task. The members were extremely loyal to the church and would attend prayer every evening with confessions at least once a week. In exchange for their devotion the templars were given access to magical knowledge and items to assist in their task.
When the Second Age came and with it a change in their purview the Templars devotion remained unchanged. While the Inquisition may have a greater conviction and understanding the Templars showed a certainty and simplicity in their work that allowed the church to use them as an effective army.
