'''The Grand Holy Order of the Temple of Cato''' is a militaristic and monastic order founded to preserve and protect the Catologian Faith. The Order was founded over 200 years ago in lands of ''Aragon'', in the Empire of [[Jingdao]] and Southbatavia. It moved to [[Zhaoqin]] when the [[Great Jing Dynasty]] established control over the Apollonian mainland. In 1666 an offshoot of the order founded the [[Abbey of Sinon]] in [[Leylstadt]], the first time the order ventured outside the borders of the [[Jingdaoese Empire]].
 
==History==
 
The Order was founded by Jack Mounford (or Montfort), former Prince of Calbion and Grand Master of the order. After the schism caused by the Calbain independence war, the Order has seized to be a prominent factor in Jingdaoese society. Montfort later moved to the isle of Ynys Corrach, where the Order surfaced for a brief period but then withered away following the Storm of Swords.
 
Shortly after his arrival on the island, de Montfort died, bestowing the title of Grand Master on his cousin, Michail de Montfort. The Montfort family has kept the office since then.
 
It was only a few years ago that Josephat de Montfort, heir to the family, received a vision from the Goddess Germania, in which she let him know that the way the Order had gone was not according to the will of the Gods. The Heavenly Light needed to be served once again. Josephat saw this as a sign and restored the Order, this time once again in Jingdao.
 
In the years after the death of the last Montfort Grandmaster, the order became more isolated. Knighthood was seen as somewhat of an anachronism in Jingdaoese society at the time, and without clear figurehead, the order could no longer gain recruits interested in swinging swords. The Citadel remained in existence but no longer had active knights remaining. During the reign of the [[Mingshi Emperor]], some of the audiutors of the order joined the emperor in his self-imposed exile to [[Nandao]]. During the reign of the [[Chidao Emperor]] the order the was revived under the guidance of Grandmaster Siwu Ersan, who previously acted as special Jingdaoese envoy to [[Shireroth]]. Grandmaster Siwu Ersan was appointed by direct order of the Heavenly Light, bringing an end to the tradition that the order was tied to the Montfort family. Siwu Ersan ordered the construction of several libraries, teaching halls and tea houses in the Citadel, in line with the architecture of the Imperial Palace of Daocheng. In the vision of Grandmaster Ersan, the Citadel had no real remaining military value. Instead he wished to refurbish the order as a retreat for bureaucrats who needed to develop their spiritual life in accordance with the [[Tianchaodao]]. The order did not do away with its military heritage and would still retain a small force to defend its premises. In total 5,000 men are still required to take up the arms should the Grandmaster order them to. Few expected this to happen unless a major war arrived, and the military aspect of the order was most often seen as a relic from the past.
 
== Former Structure==
 
The Order was divided into two classes: Audiutor and Knight. The Audiutor were the serving class, they were often taken from among the lower clergy. Audiutor could function in many different roles, such as teachers, priests or farmers.
