 Templars are often seen as figures of authority, their presence commanding respect. Whether leading armies, offering counsel, or making difficult moral decisions, your role is one of both power and responsibility. It is not a role you chose lightly; the Templar's path is paved with trials that test both your physical might and spiritual resilience. As a templar, you are a living embodiment of your faith's principles, someone others can look to in times of crisis. You offer both guidance and judgment, wielding the sword as a symbol of your devotion, and the divine as a tool of justice.
-You are often bound by an unshakable code---whether it is the honor of your order, the sacredness of your mission, or the tenants of your divine patron. Your journey might have begun with a simple calling to arms, but now it is a path of constant reflection, self-discipline, and sacrifice. You are a warrior with a purpose: to carry the torch of your faith, uphold its teachings, and act as its living weapon in a world that needs both martial strength and divine intervention.

-Your power is a delicate balance between might and mercy. You are at your most dangerous when standing in defense of your beliefs, but you also wield healing and support when those in your charge need it most. Whether on the battlefield or in the halls of justice, you are more than just a sword in hand---you are a beacon for your cause, and your unwavering resolve makes you a force to be reckoned with.
