Hellknight Orders

The most devout diabolists of the Infernal Empire of Cheliax either join the priesthood of Asmodeus, or pledge themselves to the ranks of the Hellknights. These Orders tend to play military, political and religious roles, with each venerating a different aspect of the Archfiend, and a different philosophy which they believe is essential to the greatness of Cheliax.

The Order of the Nail
The Order of the Nail are the only Hellknight Order based outside of the Chelish borders. They make their home at Citadel Vraid, a great fortress outside the Varisian city of Korvosa. The Order of the Nail see Chelish society as the pinnacle of culture, and see the failure of the Second War of Expansion as a sign that civilisation is under siege by the barbarous and savage. They take a particular interest in Varisia, "assisting" in maintaining law and order in both Magnimar and Korvosa while taking any opportunity they can to harass the native Shoanti, who they see as the worst example of this barbarism. The Order of the Nail are primarily a military group, and function much like an unofficial, often unrequested branch of a region's law enforcement. Unlike many Orders, the Nail recognises other gods- in that they believe Torag, Abadar and Iomedae are all simply warped visions of the Great Lawkeeper Asmodeus.
