Jandicary (Holy Order)

The Jandicary are the militant wing of the religion of the One Divinity who are few in number but individually powerful. These paladins answer to no-one directly but their own leaders: the Tollah, a secret governing body whose members are known only to the most experienced of their order. The Jandicary do not concern themselves in the day to day affairs of the Caliphate although they are an order of highest prestige and influence, only possibly rivalled by the Hassari. Few dare oppose the will of a Jandicary and those who do often meet a terrible fate. There is no denying that the Holy Divinity is with these men and women and their zeal for destroying dangerous heretics, foul abominations and evil invaders from the Elemental planes is well known throughout the land.

Membership of the Jandicary is by invitation only. A promising young ward is often seized and tested against a lesser shaitun early in life and if he survives he becomes a part of the order receiving scholarship from muftis who are trusted by the Order and martial training by visiting Jandicary. The Jandicary themselves do not have any permanent abode, at least none known to the populace at large.
