Their main task though is to root out insurgents.  Such as those of other religions, trying to force a different way of life onto people (i.e. Cassock of Cael).  They are law-bringers and while their tactics may seem cruel and unusual (on occasion) they do keep true to their faith and occupation, allowing the good people of Norum da Salaex to grow up under the safety of one unified religion and one set of unified laws.Nothing bad about that, right? <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=";)" />Of course, I am of the mindset that Good and Evil are nothing more than individual interpretations of actions and values.  Cassock would call the church of Ara'kull (and its rabid...er...devout (I meant) followers) Evil for using their overbearing methods and cruel methods.  And yet, he struck down a Goblin that was trying to give him a wand of cure light wounds without so much as a second thought or question.  Same method, but his interpretation (rationalization, really <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=";)" /> ) says that when he does it, its right and when they do it, its wrong.  That's not the last time you see Cassock use those tactics.  He slaughters a priest (with the help of the group) that actually refuses to fight him, throws his hands up, and falls to the ground in a prone position to try to avoid combat.  It does that priest of Ara'kull no good...his life ends.But now I get ahead of myself and we'll get to that point eventually.  In our friday game I threw a Good (read as what the general masses define as good i.e. no torture, wants equality, whole-hearted disney-esque goodness.) priest of Ara'kull at them.  Hehe...I could've sworn I saw Yeti's eye twitch in anger.  Actually, several of my players gave me the finger that night for what I did to them.  More on that later, though.I love DM-ing.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
