Temple Knight are the will of Saradomin himself, often carrying out the more unsavory tasks to preserve order throughout the land. Though we are not bound by a strict code of honor like our brother White Knights, we must still follow a few basic tenants to ensure our success.

Loyalty

A Temple Knight's ultimate loyalty is to Saradomin, but next in line are his brothers and sisters. Be they White or Temple, layman or clergy, the flock of Saradomin deserve a Knight's undying loyalty. Unwarranted transgressions against Saradomin's protected can be grounds for punishment. This protection extends to any allied factions.

Obey Your Orders

Sometimes we must do things we do not wish to do. It is not our right to question why we must do it, we simply must. In His wisdom, he has deemed it necessary. Do not falter, do not waver. Complete your objectives by whatever means necessary, this is the wisdom of Saradomin.

Conduct

A Temple Knight is a well-educated and disciplined person. They are hand-picked, and trained to be cool and collected under fire. While each Knight does have their own personality, they tend to be reserved and not excessively congenial. A Temple Knight usually can't be picked out of a crowd, and try to avoid bringing attention to themselves.

Your CommOrb is your life line when out on a mission. It keeps you connected to your teammates, it keeps you up-to-date with the latest information, and it can analyze data in the immediate area. It can also be used to teleport to and from areas with proper permissions.

Communication

CommOrbs are primarily a secure communication devices. With a simple bit of concentration, you can connect to anyone on your band, including your handler. Your handler, usually a Mystical Researcher like myself, can transfer you between bands for inter-order communications.

Information Sharing

Information and documents can be remotely updated to your CommOrb by a Mystical Researcher or a Librarian. This can be anything from personnel reports, to video recordings, to magical data. The time it takes to upload information depends on the size and complexity of the data.

Analyzing Data and Manipulating Magic

Possibly the strongest application of the CommOrb is the ability to scan the area around you and transmit the data to our Mystical Researcher centers. This function will allow Mystical Researchers to determine if there's magical or spiritual energy in the area, what type, and possibly even predict additional effects. A sufficiently trained Mystical Researcher can rarely even block most of an incoming hostile spell.

Teleportation

The CommOrb can be used as an anchor for teleports, and as a catalyst for a teleport itself. This function, however, requires approval from command and in some cases, a direct override of safety protocols. This function isn't something I would rely on in an emergency situation. Plan out your teleports in advance, or be sure you can wait for approval.

Security

Being the single most sensitive and expensive piece of equipment a Temple Knight can carry, CommOrbs come with a few built-in security measures. In addition to hefty magical encryption, the devices are enchanted with a self-destructing fail-safe. If an activated orb is taken a distance away from its assigned knight, it will deactivate and crack apart. Knights that misplace their orbs by their own fault are subject to a 1000gp replacement fee.

Additionally, orbs may only be activated by the knight assigned to them. Anyone can use the orb once it is activated by its owner. This is done via a magical aura imprint, sort of like a fingerprint. Everyone's is different, and they are hard to fabricate.

Luke and Mariah Fortuna, patriarch and matriarch of the minor noble house of Fortuna. Her family.

Beth Robinson, a naturalist and a herbalist living in Taverly. Childhood friend.

George Smith, a student smith in Burthorpe. Current suitor.

Dory Kent, Senior Mystical Researcher. Her advisor and teacher.



Born in 5A 149 the fifth child of the Fortuna family, Emilia is the youngest daughter of the minor Asgarnian noble house. After battling chronic illness during her childhood, Emilia was left frail and weak. Unable to play in the streets and fields with her siblings, Emilia turned to studying magic to entertain herself. After finding her unusual aptitude with her magical studies, Emilia began to outshine even her tutors at a fairly young age.

The recently victorious White Knights then offered Luke Fortuna an enrollment for his daughter in the White Knights magical program in exchange for use of a strategically valuable plot of land. Accepting the offer in 5A 165, Emilia was deputized into the White Knights as one of the order's youngest magical scholars.

Spending her time studying magical theory in the Wizard's Tower, Emilia was pardoned from serving in various conflicts throughout the end of the 5th age and took part in the efforts to rediscover Runecrafting.

After the assassination of Guthix and the battle of Lumbridge, the massive death toll created a power-vacuum that pulled Emilia to the rank of Proselyte and into the spotlight of the Temple Knights. Offered a position as a Mystical Researcher, Emilia accepted the job and began her training in physical and theoretical application of magic. It was also during this time that we was given her CommOrb handler certification and trained in communications intelligence. Shortly after completion of her training, she was granted her first assignment as Silver Team's COMMINT officer.

Since then she has been dutifully serving Partisan Stark and the rest of Silver Team to the best of her abilities.
