Charity
The first to move into the gated area of Charity a town that was full of nobles in mostly title and filled with a disparity of wealth due to this, which was why the Hellknight order of the Godclaw was able to impose martial law when they moved in. This was directly after half of their order was sent directly to the Hell by Alfred for breaking the rules he had set down in Anfortas. They viewed his mercy on the Freeport as a sign of weakness and decided to impose law on Charity. The next group to flock hearing about this new town and city was the Order of the Rack. They had decided the man appointed the master of blades was too kind and a detriment to the orders of Hellknights as a whole. They soon flocked to this new town where martial law was encouraged for safety. They believed Knight Wilt showed a severe weakness and lapse of judgment for not being harsher. Well, Alfred didn't become the lictor of the order of the Chain and only lictor of Aur, because he was stupid or wool was easy to pull over his eyes, he sent the order of the gate and the order of the chain over to make sure those two orders were kept in compliance of his rule.
