The Tempus Brand

'' 'Ezekiel Kane' redirects here. ''

Introduction
The Tempus Brand (Formally known as The Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Pentastus of Lavarr) is a religious order formed in 275 in Lavarr by Emperor Titus VI to limit the religious authority of Mistryén and eastern groups in the empire.

The Tempus Brand were originally founded to identify and carry out judgement on heretics, but quickly became the armed wing of the Pentastus, fighting against evil sorcerers, demons, and followers of The Sword.

The Hierarchy
The Hierarchy of The Tempus Brand refers to the rankings of inquisitors and paladins of the order.

Patriarch
The Patriarch of the Tempus Brand is officially the voice of the 5 gods in Ortheid, however it is more of a ceremonial figure. The current Patriarch is Archades Tydon.

First Warden
The First Warden of the Tempus Brand is the de-facto leader of the Pentastus, with the power to appoint Patriarchs. The current First Ecclesiarch is Icarus Zael, who came to power shortly before the 785 Coup of Lavarr.

Second Warden
There are five Second Wardens, who appoint a First Warden from among themselves when the current one dies. To become a Second Warden, an Ecclesiarch must take a trial of strength set by the Patriarch. Usually, it involves hunting a particularly influential threat, such as a heretic. After the death of Episton Morrerax, many Ecclesiarchs are hoping to be promoted.

The current Second Wardens are:
 * 1) Gariel Ventacus
 * 2) Scico Thiel
 * 3) Caldivus Tela
 * 4) Nemeron Moradas

Third Warden
Third Wardens, also known as Ecclesiarchs, are leaders of various temples in each nation which worships The Pentastus of Lavarr. The nations refer to the historical names of the regions, rather than current political borders.

Named Ecclesiarchs:
 * Ezekiel Kane. (Session 3)
