In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Welcome to the Ordo Veri Crucis.


Who we are


Whether you’re just a stray soul or someone who recently joined our holy order, you would need a basic summary of our blessed yet painful legacy:
The Ordo Veri Crucis (Order of the True Cross) was founded by the Holy Father Urban II shortly after the conquest of Jerusalem in the Year of Our Lord 1099. Members of the order came from all the great orders of holy knights, such as the Knights Templar.
The order was created with the task of retrieving supernatural objects that held great power within and was thought to be blessed or, sometimes, cursed; this was just a precursor to the Auctoritas Impertus, created during the Renaissance again by the Pope, as an expansion of the idea of the ancient Order.
The Order evolved into what became known as Auctoritas Ecclesiasticae Prima, a special Auctoritas division.
When members of the Auctoritas Impertus decided to secularise the organisation, the AEP became a different and much more righteous group and evolved to what it is today.


Organisation


Our Order plays a major role in the life of every member of the AEP: we gather information, archive information, spread information, research and protect.

There are some main rules to follow:

Rules

  • Disciplinary:

Rule number 1: You are to constantly wear the habit of our Order (mantle, armour, etc…) when not on recreational activities1. Many thought they were dissolved on Friday 13th, 1307, what they do not know is God blessed them.

Teutonic Order: The German order of knights covers the role of security amongst our faction: they take care of the security of sites, archives, and interns amongst the order. They are the Lord’s watchdogs, the celeri reactionem2.
They will occasionally do patrols around the base they are stationed to ensure security and avoid any possible problems.

Hospitalliers: The order of St. John survived many centuries and is considered one of the oldest existing orders.
They write entries for our holy archives, conduct researcher, forge weapons for our knights, guard and handle information.
They are our eyes and ears, and God’s hardest-working children.

I’d like to address this, although obvious, DO NOT interfere with the work of any member of The Ordo Veri Crucis, never, just don’t.-5.

Hierarchy


Our order’s Hierarchy is simple: the grandmaster of the three orders responds to the “Highmaster”, which reports to the G5.

Internal Hierarchy is stated by ranks.

Facilities


Our order is an active part of the AEP, and as such, we are provided with an entire floor of the facility with the purpose of hosting our men.

Rooms:

  • Chapel: This is where our priests perform the holy Sacraments. It is always open to all members of the Order, and there is at least one priest stationed there at all times, for we fight a spiritual war as much as a physical one.
  • Bedroom: A tired knight is in no condition of working, even God rested on the seventh day.
  • Armoury: Where weapons are forged and granted to our members.
  • Cafeteria: Food is a gift from God, without it we are nothing.
  • Barracks: Where the Teutonics/Templars/Hospitalliers soldiers stay when not on duty.
