Avenging Knights of the Inscribed Hearts


The Chapel of this Peerage is in the city of Rath in the kingdom of the same name.

The Avenging Knights exist to mete justice to those who have unrighteously killed Priests and Consecrated Women, as well the Poor, the Widowed, the Orphaned, and unguarded, unarmed members of the faith. They will also seek vengeance on those who damage church property or make target of holy buildings.

The Red Avengers keep the One-score rule:
  1. We will first obey whatsoever is lawful and good.
  2. We will wear foremost the armor of obedience to the Order.
  3. We will be armed foremost with the sword of divine judgment.
  4. We will recognize our charges as these: the poor, widows, orphans, churches and clerics.
  5. We will not own more than two steeds.
  6. We will keep no pet nor patron nor paramour.
  7. We will adorn ourselves with no ornament beyond the red ink of our inscribed hearts.
  8. We will occupy ourselves with no reading beyond the Canons.
  9. We will divert ourselves with no games of chance beyond the risk of death in battle.
  10. We will practice no trade nor skill save the preparation of war.
  11. We will not drink except it be water or medicine or the ceremonial wine.
  12. We will never speak poorly of a charge, nor permit a man to do so unchallenged.
  13. We will take no children as squires for they cannot be protected if led into harm.
  14. We will each sponsor a pauper person with our wealth.
  15. We will each sponsor a widow with our wealth.
  16. We will each sponsor an orphan with our wealth.
  17. We will each sponsor a church with our wealth.
  18. We will each sponsor a cleric with our wealth.
  19. We will eat no more than what is necessary to heal and live.
  20. We will be found in a church or holy place each Sunsday.

The symbol of the Peerage is a ring of thorns dipped in blood.
