The Sword-Brethren are an order of brother-paladins and priests who have renounced their earthly possessions in favor of a life of service. They are sworn to help, protect, and support the pilgrims of this flawed world. They protect the innocent and the meek, and they care for the sick and the downtrodden. Their order greatly prizes the pursuit of knowledge, and the questioning of the natural order. These tenets are bestowed by their religion: the Monadic Faith. They believe in Higher Powers beyond the Divine and the Dark Lord. This belief has seen them attacked by various other groups, such as the Inquisition.
