Order of the Slayers
This order is dedicated to the eradication of heretics and demons across the globe. A large chunk of the Order is made up of Orcs but a portion of the organization is made up of zealous volunteers around the globe that worship the Empyrean Gods. Founded by the Hellwalker in 30 B.D., this organization continues to operate in the present day with its Council of Slaughter that is entirely made up of orcs. Although it is funded in part by the Universale Church, a large portion of its economic growth comes from plundering of demonic hoards and wholesale selling of brimstone, a key ingredient of gunpowder.
The organization has a majority of its forces reinforcing the southern peninsula of Kenor from the never-ending forces of Sheol, but the Order does dedicate a portion to hunting heretical cults and obfuscated demons throughout the globe. And, should a demonic incursion occur in the world, the forces of Slayers will dedicate themselves to ripping and tearing all who stand between peace and calm in the world.
"So you walk eternally through the shadow realms, standing against evil where all others falter. May your thirst for retribution never quench, may the blood on your sword never dry, and may we never need you again." II Corrax 7:17

Mythology & Lore
"And so you shall venture forth in your ravenous hatred and know no peace till it is done. Rip and tear until it is done."
-Mehrem blessing the Slayers, II Corax 1:12
Divine Origins
This order of militant crusaders and inquisitors follow the example of the brutality that ensues in the Hellwalker. Unyielding and incorruptible, these forgers of endless bloodshed no know peace till the land is seared with the blood of those who wish to bring torment upon the living. Any who seek to do battle against the endless forces of Sheol in the most effective and brutal manner join the Order of the Slayers. These brutal knights recruit from amongst those who have knowledge of war or who wish to prove themselves against the tides of perpetual torment.
Tenets of Faith
Tenets of Slaughter
A paladin who takes this oath has the tenets of slaughter branded onto their body. Kill the monster, burn the cult: Seek and destroy the monsters that seek to feast on the woes of mortals, and end the lives of their mortal followers. Defy the dark ones: Evil persists because it lays seeds. Destroy the foundations of the dark gods power and wipe their names from the histories. Sacrifice Self. The lives of the innocent are greater than yours. They are your charge and your cattle. See to it that they find peace and security in their spirits, that their needs are tended to and that none shall go wanting. In the end, you may have to die to preserve them. Rip and Tear. Power and rage go hand in hand, and these are fed by the complete and absolute destruction of your enemies. Rend their bodies, burn their souls and destroy their minds. No enemy of the light must remain as anything other than a pile of viscera.
REND AND SLAUGHTER! UNTIL ALL IS CALM!
