Order of the Iron Rose

The Order of the Iron Rose is the official Church of Hostetta. They are a strict and regimented order, who believe in strength, discipline and resilience. The "Iron Rose" is thought to represent the cold beauty of war.
Unlike many of the other religious orders in Ekina, the Order of the Iron Rose has strict tenants that their clergy are expected to follow fervently:

1. Duty: Members of the Order of the Iron Rose are expected to fulfill their duties and obligations to the best of their abilities, whether that means fighting on the front lines of battle, defending their allies, or upholding the values of their order.


2. Strength: The order values physical and mental strength, and encourages its members to train their bodies and minds in order to become the strongest warriors they can be.


3. Honour: The order places great importance on honour and integrity, and expects its members to act with honour in all aspects of their lives, whether in battle or in everyday interactions with others.


4. Sacrifice: The order recognizes that great sacrifices are often required in times of war, and encourages its members to be willing to make sacrifices for the greater good.


5. Service: Members of the order are expected to serve their community and their goddess, whether that means fighting in battles, providing aid to the wounded, or carrying out other tasks that are necessary for the survival of their people.

Clerics of this church are commonly known as "Iron Roses", and are known to be a great asset in battle.
The order also has one of the most well-known sects of Paladins, known as the "Rose Knights".
