For Lady Kelvin it's a political move. Even an independent city-state must have allies, and the Northmen are a long, long way from home. It might have taken a while to trust them, but they have aided the City-State against common foes, and Lady Kelvin now trusts them.The Order is very loosely based on the Templars, who were offered protection by Robert the Bruce, who certainly did not fear the Pope and his troops knocking on his door. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />And when you have about 40-50 elite warriors offering their aid, you don't turn them away, Barbarians though they might be. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />More on the r'ship between Robert the Bruce and the Templars:<a href="http://outer-rim.lweb.net/mythos/25celt.html" target="_blank">http://outer-rim.lweb.net/mythos/25celt.html</a>Walking in the footsteps of William Wallace into the legendary Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, Robert the Bruce was aided by a group of sixty-three members of the Knights Templar. The Templars had been suppressed in France and dispersed throughout all of Europe. Surrounded by strange mysteries and legends, and even more outlandish accusations made by the Catholic Church, the Knights Templar had gone from chivalric heroes to a sect of occult warriors in the eyes of many. However, at the Battle of Bannockburn they were among the ranks of heroes and freedom fighters as they loosed Scotland from the brutal reign of Edward I. </blockquote>
