Military
The Templars of the Church Militant work within the religious and military hierarchies, and are charged with conducting the Inquisition. The roaming High Legates are particularly feared for their ability to put those they meet to the Question.

Travel within the Pale is more peaceful than in most lands although the Troll Fens remain deadly.
