The Consecrated Order of Theomar's Sepulchre

"Vigilans Credens"

Purpose-
The Order of Eurlon's Sepulchre isn't a conventional organization if it can be called one at all. Knights of the Sepulchre are named 'Holy Knights' by the Sanchella, a privilege that has both prestige and boons attached to it. While similar rewards exist such as titular knighthoods and sanctification as Heron, Holy-Knighthood exists as a reward for the living rather than posthumously. Only five concurrent individuals are allowed entry within the Order to ensure the highest standard for the title. There are four requirements named by the Sanchella that are necessary for entry: Humility, Industry, Zeal and Excellence. The former three the religious inclined virtues needed to be an ideal Unionist and the latter a requirement of ability to lead or to fight personally, glorifying Regalia's militaristic nature.

Holy Knights are also given the privilege to attend Synod meetings to listen, as well as customary gifted with a sword made of Bastillion Steel and an emblem that signifies their membership. They are also expected to never directly mention or speak of their membership in the spirit of humility, and often bear the emblem either on their neck or on their armour.

Membership is not mutually exclusive with a charter.

-Joining
The process of Knighthood is fairly straightforward and officially makes no distinction between gender or class. The Sacrament Of Exalted Service is an extension of the Sacrament of Fervent Service but with higher initial requirements and more arduous trials. These trials are followed by a Synod session where the initiate is voted for by the Sanchella and if succeeding, knighted by the High Reverend during a Sermon concluded by the swearing of an oath.


The exact trials and the oath involved are all tailored to the individual and decided upon by the Synod during their evaluation.

To the Holy Synod,

Fair fathers of the Empire, I wish to be granted the position of Holy Knight of the Sepulchre. I, previously, found myself as a head inquisitor and master within the Confessors of Volckamar, climbing to that height as a simple faithful man wishing to see this city rid of heretics. With its collapse, I then turned to assisting the previous Supreme Reverend Aethelred von Ultor. Guarding and aiding him in his research, I stuck by his side indefinitely, protecting and assisting one of the holiest of beings for no gain, only to serve and aid the Great Way.

I found myself lacking in service, only recently adjusting that fact with the creation of the Safeguard. So I ask that you allow me to serve the faith once more. Allow me the honor with this position and I will see to it I serve with the utmost zeal.


Spirit bless,
Leonzio of House Wodenstaff,
Lord Commander of the Safeguard Rangers

To the Holy Synod,

I have served as a warden to royalty, and as a leader of many in times of the current war in which our Empire is engulfed. Though I found myself being one of many, and not the few, when it came to dedication and true devotion to the Imperial Spirit. I have spoken to the High Reverend and expressed my wish to become anointed and complete the Sacrament of Fervent Service to cleanse my soul and join the ranks of those whose blades protect the Empire. Because I am barred from all knightly orders having been a royal guard of female birth and thus also barred from undergoing the Sacrament, I would like to dedicate my services and blade to the Sancella and the Holy Sepulchre.

Spiritus Sanctum,
Adrienne d'Ortonnaise
