	* While orders dedicated to [[San Lauren]] range in the wilds and protect such travelers as they find, the [[Knights Hospetalier]] are an order dedicated to the patrol and protection of roads leading through the Bastonian Heartland, with the mandate to protect pilgrims to [[Whiterock]] and its holy sites.
