Knights of the Temple of Morr
by Gavin Fuller and Phil Skinner
|
Morr,
True Lord of the souls of the Dead,
Blessed be Thy care.
To You we entrust our souls.
Guard them from those
Who, in despite of Your mercy,
Would hold them from Your grace
And bend them to unholy purpose.
As we face the Enemy,
Wrap our minds in
Your iron will,
That we may resist temptation.
Lend strength to our arms
That we may crush their bodies,
And return their souls to You
For true judgement.
Make our dreams
True visions of Your will,
That we may serve You faithfully,
In this life and the next.

Basic Careers
Knight of the Temple
of Morr - Novice
Those wishing to become a Knight of the Temple of Morr must
first prove their martial prowess and their devotion to Morr
by completing an apprenticeship as a Novice. During this apprenticeship,
the Novice must learn each of the fundamental skills required
to become a Templar of Morr (such as Theology and Horse Riding).
Templars of Morr, unlike most other Knights
Templar, do not have squires (which is one of the many requirements
of the Templars Rule). A Novice must therefore learn how to
maintain their weapons, clothing and armour and to tend to
the needs of their mount (although this does not extend to
the training of one's mount). Such skills were made a compulsory
part of a Novice's training regime following the initial Crusades
to the Unholy Lands (since the majority of the squires who
served the Knights were killed by the desert or its terrifying
denizens!).
Once the fundamental skills have been mastered,
the Novice must complete the 'Quest of Virtue'.

Advanced Careers
Knight of the Temple of Morr - Templar
Once a Novice's apprenticeship has been satisfactorily completed,
he may advance and become a Templar, a fully fledged member
of the Order.
The Knights of the Temple of Morr are,
like most knightly orders, a potent military force.
However, it is their fervour and apparent disregard for their
own life which makes them such a feared organisation, particularly
amongst the mercenaries of Tilea. Some of the Chapterhouse's
more famous mottos include: "In Death We Serve Morr.";
and, "With Death, I Live Forever".
Once the fundamental skills have been mastered,
theTemplar must complete the 'Quest of Valour'.
