Kastema (pure clique)

The Guardians of Purity or 'Kastema' consists of the warrior-monks of the order, who have taken up the task of protecting the followers of Saint Katharitos from those that wish to suppress his teachings. Originally founded to protect Katharite pilgrims and other travelers wishing to replicate the the travels of Saint Katharitos, members of Kastema can be found anywhere followers of Katharitos gather, whether protecting Katharite communities in the heartlands of the order or preachers wandering in Aversaria. Often driven both a the desire to see the world as well a religious duty to protect their brethren, many Kastemas are quite interested in philosophy and theology and enjoy hearing and learning about local beliefs and ideas. Some Kastema may even choose to guard non-Agionist preachers or philosophers whose teachings resonate with the those of Katharitos, as true purity comes not from professing to follow the Saints but from the Love within one's heart.
