Order of the Blazing Sun

"The Goddess instructs us to seek out the enemy ’s weaknesses and to attack them with relentless force. Do this in all things – in love, in politics, in war. To accomplish any task – to defeat any foe, all that is needed is a keen eye, a sharp mind and the favour of the Goddess."

- The Order's Creed

The Order of the Blazing Sun is a Templar Order dedicated to the worship and martial practice of the Goddes of Warfare and Battles, Myrmidia. This particular Order is amongst one of the most well-known within the Empire, as their Order does not worship a native god of the Empire but a foreign one hailing from the lands of Tilea. They are a small but respected Order with a distinguished history dating back to the last few years of the Great Crusade. They were amongst the first of the Knightly Orders from the west to travel to Nuln and join with Magnus during the Great War against Chaos, and having fought with him all the way to the Battle of Kislev itself. These knights take great pride in their weapons and abilities, as their prowness in battle is equal if not greater then even the oldest and most power of many Templar Orders. They are often seen charging on the battlefield in their highly polished and resplendent armour of black and gold with sigils of the Sun adorned beautifully in their armor, a style that is the traditional color scheme and heraldry of the Order.

As a patron Order devoted to the Goddess Myrmidia, these Templars devoted themselves to the study and mastery of the science and art of warfare in all its aspects. These fervent followers of Myrmidia value ability and accomplishment over all other factors, including noble birth and their prowness in battle. It is because of this that the order has grown in prosperity over their years, attracting the finest military minds to its long and distinquished banner. A Knight of the Blazing Sun's primary goal is to obtain perfection in the art of War, and as such they travel the Old World, ndividually seeking battle both large and small. Anarmy with a unit of Knights of the Blazing sun at itshead is a potent force capable of dealing withopponents with a level of cunning that ensures victory before the battle is even joined.
