Order of the Hammer

Overview
The Order of the Hammer are a group of knights, paladins and clerics that follow Orthis and Uric. They are a force of justice in Aliah that takes over in cases involving people of power or high risk situations. Many fear them because of their renowned ability to learn the truth now matter how far it is buried.

Leadership
The Order is led by Sir Aurias Uris, a second cousin to the current king of Aliah. The leader of the Order is voted in every four years by popular vote within the Order's upper and middle tiered members. Aurias has won the last four elections.

Philosophy
Belief in the law above all else is what drives the Order. Those who seek to escape or hide from justice are given no quarter and mercilessly pursued. Because they only operate within Aliah the Order has no jurisdiction outside the country's borders. But the Order has strong ties to the Outriders of Caelia, and regularly hires them to bring back fugitives from outside Aliah.
