Soldiers for the Church, the Templars promote themselves as being the light in the darkness. They pupportedly protect the people by fighting against demons and rogue elementals that harass the fringes of society, and are well loved by the media. At street level they're exactly what they appear to be - fearless defenders of the people. On the other hand the Inner Circle knows the truth: the threats which the Templars fight are actually summoned and released by the Church, in order to give society an external threat to war against. | Soldiers for the Church, the Templars promote themselves as being the light in the darkness.

Paladins are the Flamespace operatives of the Church. They're pegged as Templars for the "other place", and are almost as loved. As well as hunting rogue elementals they also work to knock down flamerunners who threaten the Church. They consider themselves the police force of Flamespace. Despite their name, Paladins are far from being paragons of virtue. Because their domain is out of sight, they act with greater license, happy that their indiscretions and brutal methods will never be known to anyone save for their flamerunner adversaries. They do a lot more black ops work than the Templars, and use Flamespace to manipulate the world. | Paladins are the Flamespace operatives of the Church.

Church Missionaries are PR people, pure and simple. They set up hospices, run by mundane staff. They make speeches in the market square. They proselytise, and they sermon. Thanks to the missionaries, rebellious sorts are viewed by wider society as being nothing less than destructive anarchists. Missionaries also act as investigators hunting for subversion and heresy, most especially the '''Inquisitors of the Sacred Flame''' - specially trained missionaries who act as an investigative arm. Inquisitors are feared, yes, but not hated. Society respects them and believes in their righteousness. The players almost certainly know better. | Church Missionaries are PR people, pure and simple.

* There is nothing so evil as heresy, those ordained who do not strive to better understand the Eternal Flame; they must be found and their souls cleansed by Inquisition fire. Fortunately, heretics are easy to recognize - their internal flame has fled, taking its blessings with it. | * There is nothing so evil as heresy, those ordained who do not strive to better understand the Eternal Flame; they must be found and their souls cleansed by Inquisition fire.
