Sabesian Steelknights

The Sabesian Steelknights is an order of well trained knights, with the main purpose of hunting followers of Zecod and the Zecodspawn - creatures that appear after the Dark Tearfall.
Technically an order of the church of Sabes, but they are directly reporting to the regent.
They claim their origins are going back much further, towards the very first Tearfall
The current form of the order was founded roughly 200 years ago after a large attack of the creatures on the very religious area of Selversheyn.
Originally, they are tasked with researching the Zecodspawn and stopping them. They were given many freedoms to accomplish this. However their efforts mostly focus on stopping the creatures with exemplary force and researching the best ways to find and destroy them.
These freedoms have developed into a zealous inquisition which usually flares up in intensity after every Dark Tearfall, but it keeps the creatures at bay.
The members of the Steelknights have to present themselves as unquestionable symbols of order, moral and lawfulness.
As such, they enjoy a lot of trust from the government and are usually tasked with important and delicate tasks to maintain order.
In the population they are often seen as morally rigid, prone to agression and with little mercy. The image of the arrogant knight is usually directly connected with this order.
They are well known to prefer killing and destroying all corruption instead of trying healing and reverting corruption.
As such, the knights regularily face attempts of families trying to hide their afflicted relatives, believing them to be not as sick as they are. By law, every instance of Tearfall Dread has to be reported to the knights. Failure to do so often is interpretated as support for the dark god and met with zealous judgement.
In a rfecent scandel, they arrested several high official from Manedir's Council claiming they were followers of Zecod. One of them escaped into the night leaving the other three dead, as well as one kinght.
