The Order of St Laszlo
Basic Introduction to the Order of St Laszlo
The Order of St Laszlo is a Group of Militant Priests erstwile known as Warrior-Priests which take the fight to the Heretic in the name of thier Saint and to purge and cleanse the land of the taint of Heresy. The Order is scattered all around Calradia but is scarecly found in Swadia, Due to its Excomunication.
Tis the year 1257 AL, All is not well in the land. Chaos Runs havoc across the land, brother fights brother, Innocent blood is spilt, the land is torn. The High Church does nothing to stop the Heretic, the Witch nor the Blasphemer but encourages them in its Corrupt confidence in its untouchability. The Order shall rise again and remove these wretches from Calradia and make the land of St Laszlo pure once again!
Many False Prophets and Religions rise amoungst the Commons, headed by Heretics who have twisted the simple minded'd to thier will. Tis our Duty as Guardians of St Laszlo's teachings and his people to purge the Realm of these Heretics and the Heresy which they spread, they shall be cleansed from the land through Fire and Righteous Vengance. The Order does not Sit Idle since its Failiure to remove the High Church and its Fat, Cruel and Corrupt Lectors and Cardinals. We have spread out amougnst the Faithull, the Low church and the Petty and some of Great nobles of the land, Our Strength Grows and the Reckoning of the Heretic and the Witch Draws near.
The followers of the Blood God, The False Prophet Gaham, and many more dare to Challenge St Laszlo and his Faithul. The Storm is gathering and the Red, Black and White companies of the order; all that was to escape that Revolt against the High Church; gather once again clad in thier armour, Singing Righteous praise to St Laszlo and now we shall march against the plauge of Corruption, Slavery and not least Heresy.
But for now we must remain Hidden, continuing our work, purging those that commit Heresy or dare to attack those which can not defend themselves.

Joseph Hielbricht, Scribe. On the Order of St Laszlo, Last copy held in the Orders Archives in thier Chapter House.
The Order of St Laszlo was a proud group, a shining beacon to those who looked to St Laszlo for salvation from the enroaching tide of Heresy and Corruption which now Plagues Swadia, but During the Great Rebellion of 1201 AL against the High Church: in which which they denounced its Holy Right from evidence of Corruption, Slavery and Heresy: During this Conflict The Order was crippled and only three of its Company's managed to escape from the Slaughter which ensued in the Great Cathederal of St Laszlo in Praven, taking with them a few precious Relics and scattering to the remaining kingdoms.
The Order is now Crippled, a shadow of what it was...... (Rest of the Text lost due to Damage from when Joseph was found and Burnt for Heresy against St Laszlo and the Order in 1249)

Journal of Father Seaforth:
I have arrived at Bearnsted after my flight from the Mercinaries and Assasains which the High Church sent to remove me. This town is run down, and I oft see men fighting in the streets and innocents beign robbed of thier goods and products which they bring to sell in the land.
The First Heretics have been hung, I found an entire den of them hiding just north of Bernsted, they were praticing foul Majic and other acts of heresy, they shall trouble the people no more. I have found a few Friends and have been able to set up a Chapter house with the gracious lease of a Lord of the Land. I intend to continue my work tomorrow as the land still runs black with the Heretics taint. May St Laszlo guide me in my work.

Just a few non RP notes from Me
The Order is open to anyone who fancy's just Rping as a witch hunter, but Please if you do so Roleplay it well and do not Give the order a bad name, there is no Recruitment form nor do you need to report yourself to me although that would be nice, so Have fun and find some Heretics.
Rough Structure of the Church of St Laszlo as I see it, The Church spreads over much of Swadia and has foot holds in many other parts of Calradia. (Exscuse the hapdash look of it as it changes what it looks like every time I log on -.-, so try and decipher it as best you can until I can create an image version)
