The Silver Templars

 The Templars were founded after the Queixada’s great battle with the demon Beherith drove the forces of evil from Aeris. In the aftermath, Bahamut visited the world, and seeing the Rift that the battle created tasked her with defending the material plane from incursions from the Outer Planes. In order to do so, and as a reward for her deeds, he accepted her into the ranks of the dragon gods - she was able to call and strengthen her own clerics and paladins, who became known as the Silver Templars.



 The Templars protected the Rift for hundreds of years and they garnered great respect in the land of Aeris. But as they belonged to the land as a whole, no Templar was able to possess lands or titles.



 With the disappearance of Queixada, their power began to wane and with it their influence. The fickleness of the world took its toll until they had all but vanished from Aeris. Tales are told of their deeds, and the stories say that the last of them still hold fast their guardianship of the Rift in the north. But even though they can still claim conscription rights throughout the land, no one has heard from them in two centuries.
