Heldannic Knights -- The Partisans
by Bruce Heard The Partisans
This is an illegal sect among the Heldannic Order. It secretly
harbours many indentured sergeants, priests, and knights. These are
people who most likely have been victimised, presumably by members
of the Fist of Hattias (qv). They have regrouped among this
secret sect as a means to defend themselves against abuse in
general, and the threat from the Hattian sect. It is generally a
peaceful sect that tries to avoid fanning the fires of hatred among
the Order whenever possible. Partisans have extensive links with
Heldann and Norwold civilians such as tavern owners, shop keepers,
farmers, fishermen, or trappers who can hide those of them whose
lives are in danger. Some disenchanted members of the Order are
using the Partisans' outside connections to leak potentially
damaging information to various rebellious groups, such as the
Wolves of Heldann. Some Partisans have infiltrated the Fist of
Hattias or are also members of the Company of the Orb (qv).
