			Most who wish to become priests or join one of the knightly orders of the goddess come from the upper echelons of society. The cult prizes above all duty, honour, and learnedness, and these qualities are found often among the noble class, who have the resources to be well educated and the opportunity to practise moral integrity.

			The cult however does not restrict its membership to nobility as unlike [[Bretonnia\|bretonnian traditions]] they do not worship those who are in power for the creed of myrmidia demands nobility in deeds from all and offers [[Flagellant\|penance through self sacrifice]] to those [[Blood_Dragon\|sinners]] who truly desire to better themselves. In contrast false converts and spies seeking to infiltrate the followers of the goddess are punished by the [[inquisition]] with wrath fiercer than any [[Witch_Hunters\| imperial witch hunter]].

			Whereas in other lands the first seeds of [[heresy\|chaos]] are ignored, in [[Estalia]] would be cultists are ruthlessly rooted out and destroyed. Any hint of heresy is purged by the inquistion who wield tremendous political power in the various kingdoms that worship Myrmidia. Even their mercenary warbands are known to contain agents of the inquisition as these are viewed as opportunities to spread the faith far and wide.

	A goddess in [[Warhammer Fantasy]] worshiped by the men of [[Tilea]] and [[Estalia]], as well as the [[Empire]] in a reduced capacity. She's an outright knockoff of Athena, being a goddess of strategy and the chain of command. Her followers are usually rivals of the main gods of the setting ([[Ulric]] and [[Sigmar]] respectively), who are mainly about going on human WAAAGH!s against [[Chaos]] worshipers and the Undead. She is the daughter of [[Morr]], the human god of the dead, and [[Verena]], the goddess of justice and scholars. According to 4th edition [[Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay]], a language 'Battle Tongue' used by human soldiers in, well, battle was created by Myrmidia herself. She has a number of knightly orders, but the most prominent is the Order of the Blazing Sun, which produces classically heavily-armored knights whose real claim to fame is being exemplars of her tenets that are some of the best tacticians/strategists around. Her sister is [[Shallya]], goddess of mercy and healing. She apparently managed to survive [[the End Times]] and live on into the [[Age of Sigmar]] as there is mention of a gender-neutral knightly order ”the Order of the Ardent Star” that once worshipped Myrmidia in their homeland of the Flamescar Plateau in the Realm of Aqshy. Said knights wore black and gold, rode into battle on giant murder lizards called demidroths (who sadly did not breathe fire like their larger magmadroth cousins) and took pride in a banner with a star on it that supposedly was given to them during the Age of Myth by the goddess (hence their order’s name). Also despite being relatively near to them geographically the order did not have particularly good relationship with the Fyreslayers of Hermdar lodge, something which would come back to bite them. See despite their battle cry being “Stella Invicti” or the “Unconquerable Star” and their past victories in a thousand battles beforehand, without any allied support they were all but obliterated by a horde of Khornate warriors lead by the female Khornate champion Sulkotha Godspite during the Age of Chaos. Godspite, wielding a spiked demonic chain whip, a cursed demonic blade and looking like she stepped out of a heavy metal album cover due to her wearing spiked armor with a breast plate etched with demonic faces with burning eyes, first broke the order’s fortress “the Redoubt” located at Drakemount before moving on and finally killing the order’s leader Sir Karon and most of his remaining subordinates at their last stronghold “the Chapel Fortress” which lay to the west of the Desert of Glass. The only survivor of the order’s massacre was a single female knight named Sir Anaea who managed to escape from the slaughter with the order’s sacred banner before hiding it in the mountains nearby.

	Myrmidia's faith is described as being a confusing tangle of historical fact and pure myth, very akin to that of [[Sigmar]]; like Sigmar, Myrmidia is believed to have been a real god-queen who once presided over a great empire in the southern regions of the Old World, covering the lands now known as [[Tilea]] and [[Estalia]]. Interestingly, [[Wight]]-guarded barrows from the Old World ''have'' occasionally been looted to reveal what are obviously sacred statuettes depicting a warrior woman wielding stone arms and armor, so it's an indisputable fact that some kind of warrior goddess was worshipped in the pre-Sigmar cultures of the Old World... the debate is whether or not this goddess was actually Myrmida. For obvious reasons, Imperial theologians tend to be very dismissive of the legend of Myrmida, often going so far as to suggest that her legends are simply poor imitations of Sigmar's legends and that the "southern empire" is a pure fiction. The smart ones don't say ''that'' where any Tilean or Estalian can hear them!
