Xeneftoi (clique)
The Hospitallers of Saint Thysia or 'Xeneftoi' form the miniscule minority of the order that still adhere to the old principle of healing those who are in need and generally have a distaste for the current excesses of the order, which they see as a deviation from the path of Saint Thysia. Among the eldest branches of Thysia's Order Militant, they are chiefly made up of women with only a few men included within their ranks. Furthermore, they have heretofore managed to avoid falling into the trap of progress by any means necessary due to their identity as healers who do not discriminate and the nature of their work giving them few opportunities to conduct research. As a result, they are detested by their fellow brethren who see them as shrinking violets, unable to let go of petty things such as empathy for the greater good of scientific advancement. Regardless, they remain steadfast in their convictions and do their best to remain true to their patron saint's teachings.
