Knights of Ex-Malefica¶
The Knights of Ex-Malefica are "an organization of Kalari witch and demon slayers" working in the Riven Kingdoms in 704 SM, in the Fifth Age (S319). They are "directly supported by most Kalari and Rakkari priesthoods (they collect money for them at Shrines and Temples)", and in return "offer witch and hollow removal services at very discounted prices". The collection boxes give them their common names.
Also called: the Shrine Knights, the Shriners (S319).
Reputation¶
The knights are the cheap option against witches and Hollows, and their standing has suffered for it: "their reputation has been shaken recently due to reports of heavy-handedness, property theft and looting" (S319).
Command¶
"They have a very flat organization and below the Highlord Command are Lord Commanders for 3 regions, followed by Captains of teams/squads" (S319).
| Office | Holder |
|---|---|
| Highlord Commander | Wilnoth Nanthirst, "the aging commander of the knights" |
| Lord Commander of Arnyr | unnamed |
| Lord Commander of Dalmar | unnamed |
| Lord Commander of Angorath | unnamed |
Relations¶
The Shrine Knights work the same trade as the professional and "pricey" Keepers of Abaddon, but with the purse of the temples behind them (S319).
Gap
The order is known from one paragraph and a command list. Its founding, its seat, the meaning of its name, and whether it works inside the Sancturi provinces are not recorded.
