For years you have fought on behalf of the Church of Novistrania and the Kingdom of the Nords against the Demonic invasion of Emperor Gulcasa and his cult allies within the country. The Final battle you remember was very chaotic as the Nords mustered all of their strength to attack the mobile Fortress Gulcasa but traitors within the ranks sabotaged massive amounts of specialized seige equipment and ladders forcing the Nords to send in only the best fighters. The King Himself chose and led the Elite Teams of Warmages, Battle Priests, Paladins, and Hardened Auxiliaries. The Auxiliaries helped get the Kings foces inside where they battled and overpowered Gulcasa himself. The King however, was mortally wounded by Empress Justine The Drider who threw a Poisoned Javelin at the King which impaled your Leaders stomach. She later escaped deeper into the Fortress where she was never seen again.
The Kings son, Crown Prince Nante took the Throne at the young age of 6 with his mother the Queen of Nord as Regent of the country.
The Queen is known to have been the more hand on ruler when peace was with the Kingdom and was also for a time the Spymaster for King, who has decided that you are to a lead secretive order to hunt down Cultist and Capture their leader Empress Justine The Drider.

Brief run down of the different classes.
Warmages specialize in magic and spells. They are also known to be part of many secret magical circles that only other mages know about. Rivalries between these circles is well known and it is proven that some circles openly supported Gulcasa because he himself was once a Warmage of high caliber. Warmages are constantly scrutinized by the Church and it's Battle Priests who carry out writs of inspection and sometimes execution. You will have the power, allies, rivals, and enemies.
Battle Priests specialize in combat with maces and holy cloth armor that prevents Unholy possession and mitigates attacks by those of tainted blood. The Priesthood is constantly in war with itself over doctrine and while you will be the Head of a Secret order you will have to play the religious politics of the church and it's Bishops. You may also be asked to carry out a writ on Mages who are suspected of heresy or by lords who would want their children blessed. The Job of the Priest leaves little left to be done.
Paladins are an order onto themselves. Holy men and women who take up the heavy holy armors and seeks justice against those who do harm to the innocent or corrupt thy neighbors. Paladins serve as the main infantry and calvary retinues of the Kingdom and are proud of their Martial abilities. They also have the power to close up cultist portals that let in demons along with battle priests. They do however, act independent of the Church of Novistrania. It is to be said that any who retire from the Order of Light must reside in a monastery for the remainder of their existence as to prevent them being captured by enemy forces. Paladins are by far the most celebrated heroes of the land and it is difficult for their presence to not inspire help.
Auxiliary are the conscripts of the land. You are the peasant who farmed or fished who is pressed into service to fight for your Lords. Auxiliaries are known to have do just about everything from setting up siege equipment, helping prepare spells, fight, clean up the camps, and die. This is the only profession that will not include outside duties like the above.
