The Monastic Order of Saint Lordain

The Monastic Order of Saint Lordain is a brotherhood of monks residing in the Monastery of Saint Mereldar in Tirisfal. First formed following the Second War, the Monastic Order of Saint Lordain are a highly secretive brotherhood of monks, tasked with the investigation of heresy within the Church. They serve as the judge, jury, and executioners of the Light's will, and the Order itself is unknown to all but the highest echelons of the Church. The monks who join the Order are required to surrender all of their worldly possessions and revoke their titles and wealth in order to ensure their loyalty to the Light.

History
Formed in the wake of the Second War, the Order of Saint Lordain were a small group of monks, focused in the art of inquisition. They were highly educated theologians and skilled warriors of their time, chosen by the Council of Bishops to maintain the sanctity of the Church by clandestine means. They have been involved in the assassinations of several members of the Church of the Holy Light who were investigated and found guilty of heresies, though no concrete ties can be made to the Order itself. Most recently, Brother Theudric has been dispatched to the diocese of Stormwind after claims of heresy in the southern dioceses.

Holdings
The Monastic Brotherhood of Saint Lordain bases its operations out of the Monastery of Saint Mereldar, located on the western coastline of Tirisfal. It is typically closed to visitors, unless invited by the Head Brother, Alaron.

Recently, the Order has been making attempts to expand southwards and establish a temple in the southern dioceses to better serve Stormwind, Duskwood, and Redridge in their mission.
