The original Knights Templar was founded with Gabrielite influence in 1118. After the Second Sundering, the Accord called for a group of mages to leave their cabals and join together in Constantinople as the ‘Guardians of All Humanity’. The largest numbers of these mages came from the Gabrielites, the Order of Hermes, and the Messianic Voices and soon were known as the Knights Templar.

The purpose of the Knights is as simple as it is difficult: Protect Humanity. The Knights battle all supernatural creatures that would prey on humans, including Mages. They also enforce the Maya, the mundane experience of reality, so the populous at large can rest easy at night.

The Knights were initially backed by the Order of Hermes and the Sacred Voices but have since become self-sufficient. Their adepts focus less on the metaphysical and philosophical aspects of their craft as on its practical applications.

Blessings and Blights:
The Knights are as organized and methodical as the Heretics and as almost as fanatical as the Voices. While they can perform no magic that disrupts the Maya, they can punish any supernatural creature that does so. The Knights Templar are have perfected a sub-sphere of Prime called Paradox.
