The Templars



The Templars

A military order led by Grandmaster Akatar the First. Its goal is to destroy all evil monsters and those who help them. And they live accordingThe Five Virtues. Their symbol is a red cross.

Currently, the Templars are focused on the land Andoria and they also control some land here. Their main enemy here is the Bandits.

Founding of the Templars

The lord of Tortua, Akatar, got a lot of reports of monster roaming the lands and making trade unstable. Akatar often drove them from the island, but the monster would often return. It was then that Akatar found out that the monster were being brought or summoned by Bandits. But when Akatar tried to arrest or kill a Bandit they would simply flee to another island, out of the jurisdiction of Akatar.

A lot of other lords were complaining about the same thing and Akatar organized a meeting in a central island, named Isle of the Temple. It was here that Akatar made a suggestion for a military order, with a clear mission: “Destroy all evil monsters and those who help them.” Every volunteer could sign up for this order, no matter the island or kingdom, and would live according the Five Virtues.

The other lords agreed and the order was given name in honor of the island: the Templars. Akatar would lead the order as Grandmaster.

First Andoria War

But the Bandits attacked the Empire Arrenguard openly by assaulting and capturing the island city of Turtle Island, starting the First Andoria War. The new crowned empire, named Hubert the Sacred, immediately asked the help from a new found order: The Templars. And they recaptured the city.

And because of this and the recent conflict with the Bandits from Andoria, Land of the Bandits, it was Markus Lightbringer who asked Grand Master Akatar for a grand Crusade to Andoria. Especially because the Templars found out that the Bandits were constructing a Nether Portal, to summon more evil monster. All men, from all the kingdoms could sign up with the Templars for a Crusade to Andoria to destroy the Evil forces dwelling there and to stop the construction of this Portal.

The Grand Crusade

And that’s exactly what happened. Men from all around the known world signed up for the Templars and joined the Crusade. And not soon after the Second Battle for Turtle Island, the sails of the Templars, set to Andoria.

Many fights were fought and at the end, the Templars were victorious, at the Battle of Avalon. And the near completed Nether Portal was converted to a Summoner Platform.

Land of the Templars

Since the First Andoria war, the Templars control four provinces/districts in Andoria. The Templars’ occupied land, Land of the Templars:


 * Veyk* – The royal district of Veyk


 * Templars Haven*


 * Fairbarren – The dessert district of Fairbaren
