The Heavens’ Ward, the personal bodyguard of the archbishop, serves at the pleasure of His Eminence and answers to none but him. Under normal circumstances, the knights of the Heavens’ Ward exist outside the normal hierarchy of the Holy See, but when charged with carrying out the personal directives of the archbishop, they may act with his authority and issue orders to Temple Knights and others.
In keeping with the tradition established by King Thordan I, the Heavens’ Ward is comprised of twelve knights appointed by the archbishop himself. However, after appointing Ser Zephirin to lead the current Heavens’ Ward, Thordan VII instructed him to select the remaining members for their skill at arms only, without regard for their character or familial connections, which the young archimandrite then did, with the assistance of Ser Vellguine.
As a rule, married men are forbidden from joining the Heavens’ Ward, and like members of the clergy of the Holy See, the knights must swear an oath of celibacy. Ultimately they must dedicate their lives wholly to the service of the archbishop, the sole interpreter of the will of Halone.
Aymeric: That Ser Grinnaux's accusations are baseless, I have no doubt. Refuting them will be difficult, however, as he is a knight of the Heavens' Ward.
