THE UNBLEMISHED
An unofficial arm of the Church of Law.
The Unblemished are soldiers and unsanctioned guardsmen in towns or
cities where Law holds sway. Because of the church's receipt of the
believers' tithes, these troops tend to be very well armed and trained.
The Unblemished will typically be armed with mace or club, fighting
spear, and dagger; they are almost always clad in plate and carry
shields.
Sometimes these men and women, almost always humans,
operate with the Blessings of the Nine and the leading members of the
local clergy. Other times they operate independent of the local clergy
under the command of a Cleric, who may or may not answer (or at least
confer) with the local clergy.
The Unblemished cover their faces
when in uniform, communicating only with the Lawful alignment tongue.
In stressful situations, any being unable to communicate in same will
often be detained. The Unblemished are very often fanatical in their
devotion to The Nine and will often err on the side of dogma in
pursuit of their duties. These fanatics are often rigid and unyielding
in their faith, even to the point of great personal cost.
Unblemished
soldiers are always found preferably in groups of nine or multiples of
nine. In such a case there will be one soldier bearing the sigil on his
tabard for each of the The Nine deities. In smaller communities where
numbers are lacking they will resort to groups of three.
