Kairouika (clique)
The Order of the Rose or 'Kairouika' are a marginalized faction within the order, who are downtrodden by the rest of the order and viewed as seditious, and potentially even traitorous blasphemers. Descended from those soldiers personally chosen by Saint Sansia herself to act as both her shield and spear, the Order of the Rose were always the first into the breach, both feared and loved for unbreaking discipline in battle and magnanimity towards the fallen.
However, over the order's time in Sarradon, they have slowly diminished in influence due to their specialty being largely in guarding notables and garrisoning important fortresses, with the Sanguine thereafter supplanting the Order of the Rose and directing the military wing of the Sansianites towards conquest of foreign lands. They decry the savagery and barbarism their fellows have visited upon the native Sarradonians and have espoused the principles of mercy, temperance, and empathy in all things, which have resulted in them being scorned and abhorred by the rest of the order. The more inflammatory among them have said that the Sanguine and the Rosebloods are dishonourable, amoral and have strayed from the teachings of Saint Sansia in their brutality. These firebrands have often found themselves subsequently being put to death as a consequence on charges of sacrilege and treason, with one denied burial and turned into a blood thrall for giving arms and training to the natives to aid them in resisting the order. Many purges were carried out against this faction afterwards, bringing them to the brink of destruction. Despite all this, they still endure and continue to push for the order to change its ways, for the sake of Saint Sansia.
