Church of Khoreg
Khoregates are an extremely lawful military/religious group. They are often human, but any race with a strong sense of self-discipline is welcomed. They have a deep sense of honour and follow a strict religious and military structure in all things.
They believe that death should be no barrier to the defence of Teutonia and that the dead should rise up to fight alongside the living until victory is achieved. They are formidable warriors and often make up the vanguard of many a Teutonian army.
Khoregates have churches and shrines across Teutonia and monkish retreats where warrior priests are trained. Munich is often seen as the captain of Khoreg worship, with the religious centre of the religion being the Cathedral of Munich. In some part of the cities history it was renamed as Khoregate, even to this day it is sometimes referred as such.

Worship
It is customary for priests to perform a Khoregate service at least once per gathering of the warhost. This involves the mixing of some potent alcohol, or Elixir, into a chalice, which is then passed around those present to praise Khoreg. Other devotions to Khoreg involve reciting Khoregate prayers during battle and reading from the many literatures and songs. When a Khoregate dies upon the battlefield, it is acceptable to leave him amongst his slain enemies (in case he rises up with Khoreg’s will and continues to fight), but if appropriate, the body should be returned to a Khoregate priest where a ceremony can be performed and the body given the chance to rise again.
