The Great Order of the Clenched Gauntlet

The Order of the clenched Gauntlet was formed to destroy evil in the world at large. Its core members were clerics and paladins. These religious paragons were united in ideals from the faiths of Tyr, Helm, Torm, and Hoar,But soon enough the order accepted several new gods into the Circle of The Gauntlet such as Nika,Lathander,Bahamuth,Ilmater and others. Members of the Order are staunch comrades, never-failing to trust in each other completely. The clerics and paladins strove for excellence in everything they did, and were not afraid to fight evil. It was very uncommon to see a lone member of the Order as they almost always traveled in groups. They kept a close eye on any potential threats, and stood ready to stop any aggression. In the first half of the 3rd century GR,Order was blessed by 3 kings to be a power that is representing the law,when there is no current representatives of it,to command and organise the guards,investigate crime,and protect the weak and those who was unfairly offended. The Order was clear on its methods, and it would never preemptively attack an opponent. They always stood against evil foes in decisive unity, striking hard and not waiting for the approval of local leaders. The Order used faith in its stand against evil. This faith ranged from believing in one's personal god, close friends, and oneself. They believed evil must be dealt with, it could not be ignored. They would not punish someone who had not committed an evil act, and believed that just thinking a bad thought was not a punishable offense. These days,The order is one of the most influential of the powers in the world,though clear of corruption,always stalwart and courageous,members of the order,are keeping an eye out for the most impactful and vile adversaries of the Kingdoms,and all the people in general.
