Order of Saint George (Shadowrun)

This article is imported from the Hastur wiki. See the import log for details.

A monastic order similar to The order of Mary Magdalene, but generally not held to the same high standards. Devoted to St George, The Dragonslayer, the order focusess on training adepts to fight supernatural foes.

The order is organized along monastic lines, and has the usual rangs of Monastics and lay members. Adepts of the order are often refeered to as Magic Knights or Paladins. Only non-awakened members can be Ordained.

Most monasteries accept monks only, but there are some nunneries devoted to St. George. Many devout lay members develop their adept abilities under the aegis of this order. However, members are not required to denounce the world, so some use their adept abilities in less than wise ways; this has involved the order in controversy more than once.
