It is the duty of knights Hospitaler to protect people traveling on religious pilgrimages. Over the years, this single duty has expanded to include the construction and administration of hospitals and refugee facilities. Hospitalers are a fighting force of necessity, sworn to poverty, obedience, and the defense of those in their care.
Code of Conduct: Hospitalers take an oath of poverty, obedience, and defense of those in their care. Hospitalers must be willing to lay down their lives to protect the pilgrims or facilities under their care, but should not do so recklessly. (This is not strictly enforced, but characters flaunting this will be punished accordingly. Characters can equip themselves but are expected to protect those they have oaths towards, even if that includes giving up their personal treasures.)
