Order of the Aster
Structure
The order was loosely organized and comprised crusaders, fighters, and paladins dedicated to Molotl The paladins often trained in other discipline and served as divine champions, disciples, hierophants, and even counted some members among many other non-religious military orders. While all members of the order were devotees of Molotl with a comprehensive understanding of the church's teachings, some members were instead members of the Cult of Masatha.
Culture
The Order of the Aster was a militant order that served Molotl the Morninglord. They took particular interest in thwarting the clergies of several malevolent deities such as Babylon, Shar and Goena. The paladins of the Aster were often more conservative and by-the-book than clerics of Molotl.
Public Agenda
Members usually defended Moltol's shrines and temples commanded large military forces levied by the church of Moltol when required. Individual shrines and temples of Moltol typically did not maintain significant defensive forces of their own, owing to the cost, so they instead usually retained the Order's services to guard their holy sites, in appropriate numbers. When not thus engaged, the holy warriors of the order wandered the realms promoting the faith of Molotl and doing good deeds in his name.
