==Adepta Sororitas of Tiji== Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely. [[Image:OrderOfTheHealingTouch.jpg|thumb|right|175px|A Sister of the Order of the Healing Touch by a flag with the symbol of their order, on the holy coast daydreaming of being in better beachwear]] '''Order Hospitaller'''<br/> +++NOTE: Like most Hospitaller Orders, they have been noted to do some Militant work as well+++<br/> '''Order of the Healing Touch'''<br/> '''Home world''':<br/> Ferrum Sanctimonia is a tiny shrine world with low gravity, filled with islands, sand dunes, ravines, and hills. It is warm, and has a population of 1 billion despite its small size. The Order's monastery is located on the beach of Llab; much of the Sisters' rituals take place on the beach. Volleyball is practiced by the Schola Progenium to keep their students fit. The students there, and citizens of the planet in general, often adopt beachwear. The Sisters themselves rarely get a chance to do the same, only allowed to do so in the very short amount of time given for informal relaxation.<br/> '''History''':<br/> The reason behind the founding of the Order of the Healing Touch is well known. Saint Opeterus once visited the village of Yellov on the beach of Llab, where the main monastery of the Order of the Healing Touch is now established. The village was plagued by the death of its firstborn children. When the people were on the verge of losing faith in the Emperor's protection, the Saint took them to the shore and said he would find the reason. One by one he anointed them with the symbol of the eagle with water from the sea. Halfway through the anointing, the water burnt the forehead of one villager- the saint declared he had found the heretic responsible, as the pure water bridled at their taint. They were burnt at the stake, the deaths stopped, and the bay became regarded as holy. The convent was founded on its shores, and the Sisters pray kneeling in the shallows before undertaking each mission, to partake of its blessing.<br/> '''Known practices''':<br/> All Sisters of the Healing Touch carry a small vial of sacred water with them wherever they go, to remind them of their origins, to ensure their purity, and to deliver unto the heretics in moments of most dire need. While the water is sacred, many non-sororitas find themselves in possession of some through these vials, either through important political negotiation and trade or through the looting of fallen sisters. The water is said to sooth the wounds of the faithful and burn the flesh of the unworthy and the heretic. In times of rare danger the Sisters of the Healing touch have been known to use the sacred water as a weapon, sprinkling the sacred rain from on high to restore the morale and health of the wounded and fallen while simultaneously decimating the forces of the ruinous powers, or so it has been claimed. While there have been few such times, this tactic has been known to, with one exception, ensure that the sisters are able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. It has also been known for the Sisters to cast their dead on boats into the holy water of the sea at the beach of Llab, when they have the opportunity to do so.
