Most of those who believe in chastity as an idea do not mean by this that women should stop producing children, as that would result in the extinction of the race.

The conflict of values exists because these two knightly orders are going to be the dominant powers in the campaign, and at least at first, the players will not be able to openly oppose them and will need to feign some kind of acquiescence.

Edit: As far as divine beings are concerned, I plan to have a campaign where gods don't walk the earth.

They generally don't walk the earth in the first place, so you'd have to outright eliminate, them or deal with the aforementioned ARMY OF PALADINS.
 

Seemingly even among the divine beings are cool with this, because no female deity (or deities) has decided to just Call an army of Paladins to champion the cause of alleviating the suffering of their followers.
All the female deities are busy being raped or forced to make babies by the male deities.
 

I plan to keep the celestial influences in my game to a minimum. To have a group of superbeings ready to provide you with infallible knowledge of good and evil makes the game too easy and unrealistic.

For instance, if you noticed, I said that the Knights of the Virgin are allied with certain celestial beings. (not deities, but angels.)

Celestial's in my game will be fallible just like human beings, if they enter into the fray at all.

In both Western and Eastern traditions, chastity is a virtue, the pracice of which is defined not by the elimination of sexual activity, but restricted to certain circumstances- usually within a sanctified relationship, such as marriage. As such your KV order has a logical disconnect since it is forcing women to bear children in the service of the Order. That meets no definition of chastity. Perhaps you meant something other than "conscripted", because that is incongruent with the virtue of chastity in this context.

The conflict of values is simply between evil and "eviler-er"- and according to you, the majority of the world follows one or the other of these ethoi.

As I have pointed out, this is just devils & demons. There is no real heroic conflict here for PCs other than which repugnance to eradicate first.

To put it differently, you've designed a world in which the Nazis and Stalinists are the only major sociopolitical forces, and the majority of the world agrees with one or the other, because there are clearly no Allies.

This isn't about gods walking the earth, this is about gods being so revolted that they call up followers of their own to take up arms against an injustice the god perceives needs destroying- kind of the core of the Paladin as a figure in myth, legend and FRPG class.

I intentionally put conscripted.

The order's logic goes something like this:

If men are being conscripted to fight in the army, why shouldn't women be conscripted to produce children to fight in the army?

Most RW believers in chastity praise women who have many children so there is no conflict.

Edit: Gods who don't walk the earth could also be interepreted as non-existent gods.

They are going to be worshipping a virgin as their deity. (Similar to the Virgin Mary)

Edit: Not to mention they're anti-sex.
 

In this game setting, where will the PCs be starting out? In an area controlled by the Knights of the Beaten Women, or one controlled by the Knights of the Look at the Way She Was Dressed?
