Holy Order of the Sword and Rose


The chapel of this peerage is in Laketon of Saklan.

The Ruskin are an order comprised solely of Paladins who were once another character class. As converts they are especially devout in the faith and have sworn themselves to the protection of women. In their oaths, they have bound themselves to protect what they consider the Five Rose Petals: consecrated women, unmarried maidens, widows, wives, and mothers.

The Ruskin are known especially for the numbers of Paladins who aspire to their company. A would-be Ruskin is considered to be Under the Rose if he is trying to prove himself to the order as worthy of membership. They are also known by their bright red cloaks and the highly ornamental weapons and the unique scale mail armor they are equipped with. Each Ruskin also carries a tattoo of a rose upon their chest. They are widely known across the 8 Kingdoms and are especially swooned over by females of all social classes. Despite their status, the Ruskin are bound by the Five Sepals of Charity, Chastity, Courage, Combat and Conviction.

The symbol of the Peerage is a rose superimposed on the blade of a sword.
