Word Bearers

The Word Bearers are an order of the faith militant of the Temple of the Third Covenant. They are an inquisitional order devoted to eradicating heresy in all church-abiding regions, as well as inquiries into other orders. Their headquarters lie just east of Lares in the Ixodean Empire.

This order earned its current name after its inception due to its traditional scarification rituals. Upon initiation, a chaplain will cut an old Nephilim prayer of devotion into their chests. Depending on the branch the initiate then moves to, they will earn new prayer-scars on different parts of their bodies which are added to at each promotion. Scars on the face are reserved for Paladins.

Upon arrival to their deployments, locals become nervous. Due to the Word Bearers fanatical devotion to the faith, they deal out "traditional" justice and punishments. As a result, children are often told that if they don't behave, the Word Bearers will come and take them.

Structure
The Word Bearers order is compliant with the typical rank structure of the faith militant, but has a unusually high ratio of knights and chaplains to paladins, due to its function as a inquisitional order and its fervent devotion to the faith.
