Templar Shieldbearers – The Orders front-line soldiers WIP

Templar Swordsmen – The backbone of the Order army WIP

Templar Archers – The Orders ranged infantry WIP

Templar Knights – Mounted units of the Templar Army WIP

Righteous Zealots – The Righteous Zealots are some of the Orders front-line soldiers, they wear light armor and wield a sword and shield. In combat they are the first to charge and they have the shortest life expectancy of all the members of the Templar armies. A Zealot is usually a young man willing to give up his life for the gods to spread the truth.
Paladins – Paladins are magi that engage the enemy up close with melee weapons, they use their magic to defend others and heal wounds. They are known to enchant weapons before battle and to cast warding spells on officers.

Templar Elite – The Templar Elite are the bodyguards of Templar officers, they have Star Metal armor and weapons and some even have enchanted weaponry. There are not very many of them compared to the rest of the Templar army and they are given the best training.

Priests/Priestesses – The magi and holy people of the Order WIP

Templar Pantheon.

Tandris:
Tandris is the god of victory and justice, amongst the the gods of the Order he is one of the greater ones. He is worshiped widely throughout Order land and his symbol is the most common on Order soldiers. Sometimes he is depicted wearing armor and holding a sword in his right hand with his left hand holding up the head of a slain Dragon that lies at his feet but in most pictures he is seen in the armor with the sword but standing atop a rock with a battlefield in front of him and in his left hand he holds a shield with a Dragons head over a sword.

His symbols are the Dragon, the Sword and the Tandris Cross
