Orders in my world that I've stolen from books.
Green Riders are the King's messengers. They are magically called to their duty and cannot for long ignore this call. They are given a magical golden brooch, shaped like a winged horse, the emblem of the Green Riders. It is actually the brooch that calls them. The brooch is heavily shielded, only other Green Riders can see it as it truly is. Others just see a guady trinket of little apparent worth.
As their name implies, the Green Riders wear green cloaks as part of their uniform. The are allowed a lot of leeway in regards to their clothing otherwise.
Each Green Rider carries a brooch. Each brooch is atuned to a specific rider. Each rider has a small magical ability granted to them by the brooch and their calling. The use of this power is highly draining and can only be sustained for limited periods of time, causing headaches and exhaustion that rapidly gets worse.
The Green Riders also a horses especially bred for endurance, speed, and intelligence. The horses are renown for their intelligence and some believe that they are almost on the level wih a dull human. Each Rider has a specific horse that they own. The bond between a Horse and their Rider is extremely strong.
Sniffers are an order of women with a gift that they trained and enhanced to detect magic and lies. Sniffers can smell magic, thus the name. Each bit of magic smells different. For example, a evil magic mace used by Theroneus the Dark would smell of sulpher, rotting flesh, cold, and pain. They can also tell unerringly if someone is lying.
The Order of White are like a nunnery. It's members may marry, but many choose not to and live the vast majority of their lives in monastery-like secluded grounds near the King's Castle. These women wear white habits and gowns.
The Crimson Legion is the Church's Order of Knights. They wear crimson cloaks and their symbol is a white sword, point down (forming a cross), on a red field. They are ordained ministers and perform all required rituals (marriages, last rites, etc.). They are also fully trained and capable knights. They are the churches military arm and an answer to those who attempt to threaten the church or intimidate it through a show of force.
Some Knights of the Crimson Legion may become Palladins.
