Gravemarkers

Gravemarkers

The Chantry of Sothe are a special order of monks and sisters that vow their lives into carrying out Sothe's will. They ensure that the natural rest of all under his domain is secured against those that would disrupt his order including murderers, Woehltriv worshippers, malevolent necromancers, and warmongers. They are a hospitaller faction that also has an errant militant wing in the form of the Exemplars of the Crow Father of the organization collectively known as Gravestone. These are white veiled and black-clad templars that wear blessed armor that protects against devilish powers, necromantic influence, and mundane weaponry through stifling or outright negating effects. The exemplars hold "Scythes" which are more like poleaxes with more curved edges that are similarly blessed to strike down the wicked. Unlike the Alarian order and its Firmament Templar offshoot in Aizarin, the Chantry are a non-political group that tends to not take sides in ideological fights unrelated to the Crow Father's dictates. As such, they are often freely allowed into even nations often seen as having non-protheistic bents to them like the Uhlion Republic or the Magocracy. Indeed, they are even allowed into the Court of the Night, with the conditions laid down by the Sothe Prelatic and the Viscount of Twilight involving them only in action against those wishing to expand illegally from the Court's borders. However, they are still not allowed to murder on a whim even those they think are guilty and as such must often find just cause in their actions to be allowed their privileges.
The Exemplars all have power investiture in them by the Crow Father, given to them by the High Prelate. They receive this with their Icons, skull masks marking the covenant between them and the god of death.
