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 around 1,500 years ago in lands of Aragon, in the Empire of Jingdao and Southbatavia.
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 Godess 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.
Structure
The Order is divided into two classes: Audiutor and Knight. The Audiutor are the serving class, they are often taken from among the lower clergy. Audiutor can function in many different roles, such as teachers, priests or farmers.
Grand Masters
Over time, there have been many Grand Masters serving the Order.
