Order of Vell
This is the Order of the Paladins of Vell that was the first founded, and who generally controlled the organization. They were mainly located within Vell, but also were to be found in the larger cities of the realm. They were focused on maintaining order in the Cities, and ensuring that people lived as they should and obeyed the Emperor.
Their presence was seen, and unseen. The large number of Paladins can be seen in Vell and any city of Vell in all the public squares at any official event. They were also lurking in the shadows searching for any who strayed from the path of order that was the will of the Emperor. So that there were two major divisions of the order.
First the ORDER OF THE SWORD. These were the men you saw in their silver armor and blue surcoats on the streets of any City in the realm. They could be a beam of hope or a sing of doom depending on where you were in relation to maintaining the Emperors will.
Then there was the ORDER OF THE DAGGER. These Paladins agreed to take to the back streets and alleys of the Cities in search of unrest and disorder. The information they gathered allowed the Order of Paladins to act and speedily end the threat to order.
Structure
Grand Master - is the commander of the Order. Under him are the Generals that head the two divisons. Several Masters would head the larger sub-divisions within each of the orders commands.

Sergeants are Sr Paladins that have no command, but have leadership roles within a unit. The bulk of the men are Paladins. New members in training are called Pledges.
