"And war broke out in the heavens;
Micheal and his angels fought against the dragon.
And the dragon and his angels fought back;
But they were defeated,
And there was no longer any place for them in heaven.
The great dragon was thrown down,
That ancient serpent
Who is called the Devil and Satan,
The deciever of the whole world, he was thrown down
To earth, and his angels were thrown down with him
-Revelations 12: 7-9

Knights Templar
The knights templar are an ancient sect of knights that were active in devotion to the Lord through Micheal's will before the birth of Christ. It is said in legend that they secured the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt by rising up in revolt against Herod. Today. the Knights Templar are an exceptionally elite order of warriors who are awesome allies of the Lord's army.

Templar Knights have the same requirements (including tithing requirements, possesion of magic items and actions of allies) that paladins do in the PHB, but they are also required to offer and give quarter should it be asked in combat. For their sacrifices, Micheal honours them with the following powers: detect evil intent (see PHB); saving throw bonus (see PHB), immune to disease (see PHB); healing hands (see PHB); aura of protection (see PHB); holy sword (see PHB); undead turning (see PHB); war horse (see PHB); priest spells (only those castable for Michealites); rally allies (+1 to all rolls of nearby (within sight) allies for 1rnd/lvl)
