SoR Ideas
Section 1 - Weapons
Ordo Hospitallia - The Healers of Mod often disdain weapons; weapons are, in essence, the antithesis of what they embody. Still, the Healing Hands realize that defense is important, especially when moving about the world unaccompanied by an Ordo Arma soldier. Because of this, they may wield both staves and maces. A Hospitaller wielding a bladed weapon may suffer the wrath of Mod, being stripped of powers or denied their prayers. Hospitallers are often not well-versed in the use of their weapons; they know enough to defend themselves, but are not the masters that the Arma are. Hospitallers also wield shielding spells, unavailable to the other orders in this form. They may also utilize other defensive spellcasting; a spell must not be intended to kill, simply slow down or deter the attacker.
Ordo Arma - The heavy warriors of the Societas, Ordo Arma members wield a variety of weapons, facing none of the restrictions placed upon the Hospitallers. Templars within the order often tend toward heavy armor and maces, while Paladins lean towards medium armor and longswords. The lines are not clear within the order itself, however, and one may find a wild combination of arms and armor within the group. Ordo Arma members may train other members of the Societas, including their own, in the proper usage of weapons, so long as that member is able to learn and use the weapon.
Ordo - The Watchers and Scholars lean most heavily on their magics, with the former supplementing this with daggers and small swords and the latter relying almost entirely on spells. Ordo members may use blades, but not shields, and rarely use maces or staves of any sort. Their jobs require stealth and free movement, and heavy weapons would be counterproductive. Ordo members wear light armor, if any, as it allows the most freedom of movement. Spells that require hand movements may fail or be lessened if the caster is wearing armor.
Section 2 - Enemies
The Dolls - Creatures that appear eerily similar to the First Saint, though often bearing cracks on their "skin" or simply missing entire shards. The Dolls stormed out from Aekea, overwhelming the forces stationed in the peaceful neighbouring towns. Since overruning the towns, the dolls have begun spreading a message that is similar to the Holy TOS, but also very different. They have found allies amongst the denizens of the Chatterbox, their numbers swelling because of it.
Mage Society - The are circles of mages who are collectively known as Mage Society. Master Mages of every stripe commonly belong to a number of these circles, and the information they collect within them is priceless. With the overrunning of Gaia by the Dolls, a few of these circles have been placing themselves in positions of power, filling the voids caused by sudden power vacuums. they are dangerous foes, and not to be messed with lightly.
