Monks, plain and simple. Those within the empire that have devoted their life to scripture and prayer and too the gods of the empire. Most can see them walking down the alleys of the empire chanting or within their grand monasteries scribbling away within the holy books.

Most visitors too the empire are rather afraid of them (Who wouldn't) most have entire chapters of Sanctus Liber tattooed upon their bodies and others have holy relics and ashes of saints upon their bodies.

Monks are split into thousands of sects (Some act alone) but each and every monk is expected to have two things, A copy of Sanctus Liber and a Holy Cross.

As a whole the Monks are split into two orders. Those monks dedicated to more civil things and those who relish battle.

Battle monks carry crude weapons and have within themselves a fanatical devotion to the gods. Most are monks who consider themselves 'Damned' and thus must be saved through the holy bath of battle. They pledge eternal service, a service that is only done when their cold dead body hits the ground.

Any crusade is normally followed by a large war band of monks sometimes numbering in the thousands and during holy wars the millions.
