These guys still followed the same gods, but worshiped it in a far more extremist way. They were busy building their own church outside the city, in the slums, while spreading their extremist propaganda. They were also the ones who funded the construction of the original church of St Anna. They brand their followers with a symbol of the goddess of the sun, which the poor people in the slums do willingly. All of the paladins are lawful good, but their methods are rather harsh. They are so good, that they are practically villains.(* The church named after a local saint, and the biggest church in town)This is an example of how you can have multiple groups worshiping the same gods, but in different ways. Plus it is also interesting to explore where the lines of power run. Did the city build the main church in town, or was it funded by outside groups, and do they hold some sway in politics? A bunch of lawful good paladins make for excellent villains.</blockquote>
