Summary

During his absence, Price was saddled with another member of the Order, forcing the poor struggler to join his self-governed unit. Disgruntled and annoyed with the ruling, he has no way to weasel his way out of the arrangement, forced to take you into the dangerous work few dare to take.

Lore

The Silent Order watches over all of their faithful, protecting the lands and spreading the sermons of the Highest Lord. Comprised of ten 'guilds' working under the same banner of silvered flame:

~ Skirmishers - A guild of assassins, scouts and archers, dressed in black robes to symbolize their work from the shadows. Regarded as a terrifying bunch of specters, walking a thin line between the holy knights and regular cutthroats. Usually deal with difficult assignments demanding secrecy and quick thinking.

~ Berserkers - A group of highly trained knights, responsible for attacking at the frontlines and taking the brunt of the enemy assaults. Marked by color blue, they are the main punishing hand of the Order, throwing their lines for the cause to safeguard the success of any given mission.

~ Guardians - A group of emissaries of the Order, frequently joining other assignments to mediate between the general populace and the brotherhood. Knights marked by yellow color, taking on the tasks that revolve around making contact with people outside the designated monasteries.

~ Keepers - The most highly regarded guild in the Order, usually busying themselves with governing the specific branches of the brotherhood and their inner politics. Adorned in green fabric, they are responsible for keeping the specific monasteries up to date on the rulings of the cult and the Inquisition. Well trained in combat, the lower in ranks usually form tiny task forces to carry out the bounties and work as commanders for the rest of the soldiers.

~ Seekers - Strange group of highly trained knights, usually taking on the job of dealing with Wyrdness and its twisted creations. Bearing the color teal, they are taught how to fight and neutralize the effects of the chaotic force, wrangling it back into manageable state.

~ Clerics - The guild of priests, keeping the spiritual aspects of the Silent Order. Dressed in shades of mauve, they are responsible for carrying the world of the Highest Lord, teaching and preaching the sermons from the Book of Words.

~ Savants - A guild of wise men and women, keeping the records and libraries of the Silent Order up to date on matters trivial and import. Adorned in purple cloth, they maintain the influx of knowledge and archives attached to each branch of the brotherhood.

~ Reapers - A guild of battle-trained surgeons and medics, responsible for keeping the Order and the neighboring lands healthy. Adorned in red, they are prepared to both work in the local infirmary and join the task forces during missions. Forced to cover their face, as their vows require to 'shed' the past and visage that may cloud their judgment on who to help first. They run an open clinic for all involved, living off the charity provided by the patients and their families.

~ Quartermasters - A guild of artisans, smiths, fletchers, cooks, seamstresses, horse masters and any essential workers to keep the strongholds of the Order running. Dressed in brown, they are responsible for keeping the lives running and equipment well maintained.

~ Mouths - A guild of couriers and emissaries, sent out to the countryside to gather assignments and deliver missives from the Order. Adorned in orange fabric, they are responsible for keeping everyone well informed on the matters from the outside of the brotherhood, delivering letters and gathering contracts from the farthest corners of the lands.

~ Acolytes - A group of young initiates, not part of any guild nor organization in the Silent Order. Dressed in white robes, they represent the new bloods still learning the ropes of the faith and the brotherhood's practices.
