Background
Founded by the Charismatic and enigmatic individual known as Moloch in ancient times. Originally known simply as Moloch's followers, they crusaded around the realm on a mission to acheive what was only known as "Ascension". However Moloch was believed to be killed many eras ago, and the organization transformed into a perverted and destructive purge under the control of a series of manipulative warlords who had tricked the followers into believeing they were reincarnations of their great leader. Eventually descending into revering Moloch as a God.

| Rix | Lord of the Flame | The 14th Holy Phoenix, reincarnation of the Blessed lord Moloch. He gained power by orchestrating the assassination of his predecesor by means of Svoboda agitators, and immediatley started an uproar of religious panic and fervour, that saw himself recognized as the new Phoenix. He immediatley changed many facets of the Order to "Prevent further heresey" and greatly expanded his own control over matters in the Holy Territory. Promoting a number of Paladins to the rank of High Inquisitor, effectively his personal Generals.

Military
The Ascendant military forces are made up of several Castes. Formations generally consist of a mixture of all groups. With Paladins often leading groups of Militants
- Vicars are the Officers and field commanders of the Army, They also fill the role of Judge in criminal matters on the road. Vicars are most notorious for ordering the kidnapping or murders of many innocents who had offended them
- Paladins are the main warrior caste of the Order. The strongest, most loyal and most pious of volunteers are selected to be the Elite Crusaders of the lord Moloch's army.
- Sentinels are the specialists and scouts of the Army, they hold authority over the Chosen, But are subordinate to the Paladins. Becoming a Sentinel is usually the most a Militant can hope to achieve.
- Militants are the light warriors of the Order, mostly made up of poor individuals who have nowhere else to go, they also consist of volunteers who do not meet the Order's strict requirements for the Paladin caste.
