Editing The Mandate

The Mandate, also know as the Steel Vanguard, are the followers of Saint Arven, Light of the Cosmos. The Mandate follows Saint Arven's doctrine of Purity and is dedicated to the eradication of corruption, in whatever form it was found; From invasions of demons and devils, to greed and enslavement of normal folk, the Mandate will solve most of their problems with a blade. While officially a religious order, the Mandate's ways are inherently fraught with confrontation - usually violent - and each member is trained for this purpose. Most Mandate members are trained so well, in fact, that they are considered superior to most militarily trained counterparts across Vayan.

To see the Steel Vanguard approach your borders is to know trouble is just on the horizon. 

== The Organization == 
Structured more like a military organization than a religion the Mandate follows a single leader: ''The Immaculate''. The Immaculate is chosen by Generals to choose the direction of the Mandate at large.

== Flair?? ==
The Mandate will never hide its presence, preferring to shine like a beacon to show the purity they fight for. The Mandate's members will always be adorned with a bright white Tabard, emblazoned with Saint Arven's symbol; an golden eagle engulfed in flames. 

== The Creed ==
We are the guards of the new world order
We are the soldiers the legion of light
We are the center, the depth of the sun
Fire and flame, we are one
