The Knight’s Errant (Fortitude)

 

You cannot stop us
You cannot bring us down
Never give up
We go on and on
You'll never break us
Never bring us down
We are alive!
Defy You: Offspring

           

Based out of the Benediction Church in Oldtown, the Knight’s Errant are a group of people who have banded together to protect others in Oldtown.  They are the reason why Oldtown doesn’t have more crime than its counterpart in other cities. 

The Knight’s Errant are recognizable by their clothes, a mesh shirt in the summer and a trench coat for colder conditions.  Both have the symbol of St. George fighting the Dragon on it. 

The Knight’s Errant enjoy free non-alcoholic drinks from the bars and the support from the bouncers there.  They are always willing to escort people to and from their cars so long as you’re willing to listen to them speak about faith and the Benediction Church. 

They fight with batons and stun guns and when a fight does break out, you rarely fight one Knight.  If they call for back up, you’re dealing with up to a dozen on any given night. 

 

Lost Finders (Temperance)

 

It's the way that you feel

It's the truth in your eye

'Cause you're up against the world

Still you rise

Rise: The Cult

 

          The Lost Finders are a non-profit organization that scours the city looking for those who go missing.  They have enough donations to have almost 10 full time members and 40 part time employees.  The Lost Finders have gotten some flak in the past because they don’t always work within the law to find missing persons.  They don’t get into fights like the Knight’s Errant or the Crusaders, but they are willing to break into places and invade people’s privacy in order to find people. 

          They are getting further flak from the police, because some people are turning to the Lost Finders for help without reporting missing people to the police.

 

Crusaders (Justice)

 

Look out at the darkness,
And you will see,
Just call my name and I'll be there.

You cannot touch me,
You would not dare,
I am the chill that's in the air.

The Small Hours: Metallica

 

          The Crusaders represent a group that walks on a knife’s edge.  They are vigilantes who dispense justice throughout the city.  They claim that they have no backing, but it’s a good bet that a group like this is being funded by somebody.  The Redemption Church and the Robin Foundation have both been suspected in the past but all allegations have never been proven. 

          The Crusaders do a lot of good in the city but they that good  well outside the law.  They seem to understand that once they join, there is no going back.  In this way, they are very much like a cult. 

          Because of their secrecy, they are extremely hard to contact. 

 

Burning Fell (Sinful)

 

What sick ridiculous puppets we are

and what gross little stage we dance on

What fun we have dancing and fucking

Not a care in the world

Not knowing that we are nothing

We are not what was intended.

John Doe, Se7en

           

The Burning Fell gang is one of the serious blights of the city.  They are a quasi- religious group who  vacillate between support  for the Church of Satan and the Neo-nazi White Supremacist cause.  Their slogans are bizarre and disturbing.  They claim that humanity is the spoiled children who were corrupted by fallen angels of the past.  Because the angels corrupted mankind, it is a lost cause and needs to be punished.  Whether they believe in all this nonsense, they spread hate crimes and promote violence and suffering.  Although countless members have been arrested by the police and locked away for various heinous crimes, they keep coming back.  Once, in a public letter to the media, they claimed that they were the Hydra.  The claim of cutting off one head and more coming forth along with references of the Beast and the Dragon link them to the Church of Satan. 

The Crusaders and the Burning Fell seem to be natural enemies.
