There are many religious orders in the World. The orders are small and often closed societies in the countries where they reside. They are a haven for those who want to dedicate their lives to their religious belief. All the different orders consider their faith to be the ultimate Truth regarding the World.
Even though they focus on religious training, they also provide schooling in magic, writing and martial arts. In many areas, they are the only schools, and thus the nobility often send their heirs to an order for training.
Celibacy is not a requirement for any of the Orders; marriage within the order is quite common, and many children are therefore raised within them.
The religious orders are often quite influential politically in the countries where they reside. Many believe that they are the true powers in the World. They also have a very strong hierarchical system, with a strong leader in charge. Most order members bear the marks of their order on their capes, and the more elaborate, the higher ranked they are.
