Following the urgings of friends of mine who believe in balance in
Achaea, it is my sad duty to report that the Templars have begun their
bloody scourge upon the land, setting to wipe away the unbelievers in
the name of their tyrannical church. Even their allegedly "good" leader,
Gawain, ambushed me as I strolled along the streets. Why, you might well
ask? From what I could gather as he ranted and raved between the vicious
hacks of his unnatural sword that glowed with a mysterious eldritch
glow, Gawain apparently was upset over something that I apparently said
to someone else. Is it the Templar way to ask questions and get to the
truth? No, the Templars answer words with swords. Hack first and then
maybe talk to you if you're not dead.

So beware, my friends! This is by no means an isolated incident, as I
have heard reliable reports from many sources of their predilection to
violent rages, not to mention my own first hand encounters with their
fanatical madness. I must go now and protect the children at my orphanage
as they have told me of their nightmares involving the grotesque Church's
military and immoral acts of senseless violence. I wish I could tell them
that it's not true.
