Order History; Small spoiler can't hurt, right?
The Unyielding Templars earned their title and order name from the last great war. Before this, they were known only as loyalist knights serving the dragon king Azzadiss. Each man served the dragon with different goals in mind, evenly split between achieving the peak of the martial path and others with burning passion to butcher anything in their way.
At least that was the goal in mind when seeking out the dragon. After witnessing the dragons strength and how he effected each and everyone of them during the course of his reign. Another purpose started to aspire within their hearts and minds.
They pledged themselves to serve eternally, in life and death to forever remain at their kings side. During their mortal lives, despite other orders giving that very same oath. They were ridiculed for it. And the reason for it was simple, they lacked magic and processed only strength of arms.
Only in death were they given the respect they deserved and that was in no small amount by the final conflict. When all others had fallen during the last battle of the war, only these men held out and defended their king. Mutilated beyond imagination during the battle and not a single one fell till it was certain their mortal bodies couldn't preform any further.
General Appearance;
All Templars were equipped in battered and rusted plate armouring. Massive hunks of metal bolted to their skeletal bodies and also held in place along their limbs. A coppery coloured rust rebukes any rightful definition of what the metal could've being. Dome-shaped, full facial helmets cover their skulls and only two slits remain for visuals. However unlike their fellow undead, no traces of magic fill in their sockets that anyone can tell.
Every single Templar is near the same height, towering above others at 8 foot. Even in death, the bodies of these former men still retain mass(big boned, truly) if the armour is anything to go by. Still filling out the armour they wear and this is seen mostly by their sleeveless garments. Each brown dyed tabard clings tightly around their torso, with fine golden stitching tracing down its edges and displaying a crescent moon symbol.
In one tightened grasp, is a dangerous looking and well maintained pike. When under a direct source of light, they shimmer with polished glee. The heads of the pike are long, leaving a thrusting point and blade edge itself is jigsaw shaped. Held in the other hand is bulky tower shield, displaying the same symbol as their tabards.
Extra Information;
They specialize in close quarter combat, defensive formations and serve primarily as elite guardians.
