Fiction:Order of Teurontuc

"The devotion to the goddess. Loyalty to the Headmaster, zeal til the end."

- Mantra of the Order

The Teurontoc Order is an Order of Duetzalanian crusader knights who split from the main due to believing it was too weak and soft on heresy. Deciding to launch a crusader campaign, the Order gained more and more influence as it went, gathering several Duetzalanian lords and their knights looking for either true piety and devotion to their religion, or simply glory and fame.

However, the Order, unlike many empires, was a pure military state, having no royal families or economic planets, all planets being dedicated to military build-up. The Order relied, at first, on working with the main empire to grants of money, as well as raiding and pillaging heretics, before it began to weaken.

As the Order relied more on mercenary bands to replace it's older, somewhat decrepit knights, it's military power weakened, and it was brought back under the fist of the Zarbania Powers.
