The Circle of Kiral

Before The Reckoning the Circle of Kiral was a small order of Paladins sworn to protect Twilight World against evil outside influences. The order's relationship with its namesake god has always been more transactional, as such worship of Kiral was not mandatory nor in fact even encouraged. Their headquarters were hidden on Hadira away from their greatest foe, the Arethian Empire, although their members traveled all over the world to maintain their vigil. It was the circle who called upon the initial five adventurers who would later become known as The Travelers and set them on their path to their destiny. 

During The Reckoning the circle led the forces of the resistance and the Universitas in an assault on Areth's portal in Amet city during which the order took heavy casualties. In the aftermath of The Reckoning the order made a deal with the remainder of Areth's legions stuck on Amet which led to the founding of New Amet. In order to protect the people of Twilight World the circle took upon themselves the duty of policing the devil refugees. As New Amet grew so did the demands on the circle who had become the de facto police force of the city along with the corporate security forces of the various (mega)corporations established there.

The order of Kiral

New Amet

The order's traditional hierarchy was adapted fit the new demands of policing a growing metropolis, resulting in the following hierarchy: 

- Paladins: These Oathsworn Paladins lead the order in all things. All members of the circle are equal however deference is giving to those of greater seniority or those with unique talents. Some paladins are in charge of sectors of New Amet, others are in charge of specific departments like border security, internal affairs and extraplanar incursions. Only these elite Paladins are part of the Circle of Kiral, all ranks below them are merely part of the Order of Kiral. 

- Squires: Squires serve directly below a specific paladin as their officers. Some are hopefuls working towards one day taking the oaths themselves but most are merely the leaders and bureaucrats who manage the day to day operations of policing the city. Each squire only reports to the paladin they have sworn loyalty to, as such each Paladin's department has their own hierarchy and jurisdiction conflicts are common between departments. Squires are equivalent to Lieutenants in a modern police force. 

- Initiates: The common guards patrolling the city, each is part of a specific Paladin's department however initiates must defer and take orders from any squire. Most departments have organized their initiates into different ranks with First rank initiates being equivalent to sergeants, Second rank, detectives or veteran police and Third rank to be the common rank and file police.
