The Northshire Aegis

The Northshire Aegis is an order of Templar and Guardsmen that represents the first union of the various orders of the Holy Light and the Kingdom of Stormwind. They are based out of the Northshire Abbey found in Elwynn forest and are composed of both Northshire Clerics and Stormwind Royal Guardsmen.

Sanctioning and Mission
Whilst unknown to the general public, Archbishop Benedictus the former leader of the Church of the Holy Light was turned to Twilight and attempted to take the lives of both the King and his son, with the help of Major Samuelson. Atop this, the Clergy has become adament about denying any sort of Stormwind presence within the Cathedral and has also begun accepting Horde renegades into their ranks. Given these facts the King's Council has sanctioned an Order that is able to keep watch upon both the Cathedral, other Holy grounds where Guardsmen are not permitted, and their denizens to ensure that no such thing will ever occur again. The Norhshire Aegis is tasked with rooting out corruption and dis-loyalty within the Church.

History
Formerly known as the Northshire Templar, the Aegis was comissioned based on the Northshire Clericy's previous steadfast loyalty to Stormwind, the service their Clerics and Templar paid within the ranks of Stormwind's military during the First War, and their reputation for their affinity to sense and seek out dark magics.
