	*'''Choir of Menoth''' - The signature auto-pick support unit for the Protectorate. This unit makes Protectorate warjacks go from so-so to Awesome. They do this by singing one of three hymns. The first gives warjacks a buff to both damage rolls, the second makes them immune to non-magical targeted ranged attacks, and the third makes them immune to targeted enemy spells. The drawback is a 'jack can only be affected by one hymn per turn, so you can sing Battle for extra damage and then protect them from enemy ranged attacks in the same turn. The unit is dirt cheap and is a must have for any Protectorate player. Just be mindful to keep them safe, because, like most Protectorate support units, they're incredibly easy to kill.		*'''Choir of Menoth''' - The signature auto-pick support unit for the Protectorate.

	'''Anson Durst''' (aka Dwayne Johnson) - He's a Paladin of the Order of the Wall warcaster, which means he will prioritize protecting the weak and the innocent and saving lives over even following orders directly from the Hierarch (unlike the Exemplars, who would burn an orphanage if they were told to do so, and not spare on the gasoline). Being a Paladin also means he's going to be really ~~though~~, which is reflected in everything he does. He's not only the toughest Protectorate warcaster to date, his Feat also makes his 'jacks into solid brick walls, and all his spells are either defensive or defensively offensive (I.e kill my dudes and my 'jack is going to punch your face in). This doesn't mean he's a slouch in combat either. He's got some of the best MAT and P+S in the faction, and can easily kill infantry models and put a sizeable dent in enemy heavies if he needs to, not to mention turn a misplaced enemy caster to paste.

	*In the fluff he's pretty much a background character who currently isn't up to anything. He was in Reckoning, the book he was released in, where he said "Fuck you, Hierarch. I'm going to save these Cygnarans and Khadorans anyway, because at least they're not robozombies." which helped persuade Severius to commit the Protectorate army at all (The Protectorate can't afford to lose valuable warcasters on a trivial dispute) and so Iron Kingdoms threw Cryx off the mainland.		*In the fluff he's pretty much a background character who currently isn't up to anything.

	The nation is a strictly ruled theocracy. The Hierarch (read: Pope) of the Synod (read: Church) is also the political leader of the ~~Prteoctorate~~, although most of the day-to-day operation of the nation is done by the Synod of Visgoths (read: cardinals). The previous Hierarch, Garrick Voyle, is largely responsible for the structure of the Protectorate, as well as it's military power. Since he was a very martial dude, he ended up being killed in the battle for Caspia. His successor, Severius, also has a very hands-on approach to leading, and was until recently on the frontlines in Llael, converting and burninating locals and enemies alike.

	According to Cygnaran propaganda, life is shit in the Protectorate. This is only partially true. Yes, citizens of the Protectorate live in an extremely hot desert, they're regularly conscripted to become <s>fanatic meatshields</s> holy warriors (Although most actually volunteer), and they follow a religion that demands total obedience to both the priesthood and Menoth. However, if you labour for your allotted time, follow the commands of the priests, and of course, you're a faithful menite, then things could be worse. It's however illegal for any citizen to own any real currency, and the Scrutators developed a system specifically to prevent its citizens from amassing wealth. Instead of coins made from valuable ores, they use clay shaped into beads with holes through them so they can be tied to strings. Not big on capitalism, are they?

History of the Protectorate (and also the Church)

	Menoth's a very strict god, and kind of an asshole. There's all kinds of laws that must be followed to the letter to get into the City of Man in Urcaen (Urcaen being where souls go when they die, and the City of Man being a pretty good place in a dimension that's otherwise pretty awful). the Church of Menoth began to falter with the rise of the Twins, Morrow and Thamar, two humans who believed anyone can rise above their stature, even to the point of ascending into Godhood (which they did).		Menoth's a very strict god, and kind of an asshole. There's all kinds of laws that must be followed to the letter to get into the City of Man in Urcaen (Urcaen being where souls go when they die, and the City of Man being a pretty good place in a dimension that's otherwise pretty awful). the Church of Menoth began to falter with the rise of the Twins, Morrow and Thamar, two humans who believed anyone can rise above their stature, even to the point of ascending into Godhood (which they did).

	The Church didn't really start to fall until the Orgoth invaded. The Orgoth are essentially black magic vikings from across the ocean who will both kill you and enslave your soul, or use the latter to fuel their magic. The Orgoth killed priests and burned temples, yet Menoth did nothing (This could be because he was too busy fighting the Devourer Wurm, which would've been more difficult as his strength ~~wadned~~ when those who believed in him died or wavered in their faith. It could also have been a test to see if mankind would stray from the True Law.) Seemingly left to their fate, many humans felt Menoth's lessons felt hollow, while the Twins, the upstart gods Morrow and Thamar's message of hope started sounding more and more appealing. This, combined with Thamar's gift of arcane magic, allowed Immoren to drive out the Orgoth, resulting in the Menite church being a shadow of its former self.

	However, a few faithful remained and started growing more and more resentful living under the new kingdom of Cygnar's rule (Namely because its capital, Caspia, was founded by the Twins). In 482 AR (Almost 300 years after the Orgoth were forced from Immoren) the faithful started an ultimately failed rebellion, which ended in a treaty. The Menites would still be a part of Cygnar, but have control of half the capital city (which they renamed Sul) as well as a fairly large area, mostly resource-poor desert to the south. But since it was Menite holy land, they didn't really mind. The other clause of the treaty was that they weren't allowed to have any warjacks or a standing army. They were however allowed to have a defensive militia (Which they exploited as a loophole). After converting the desert locals and re-founding the proper Menite capital city of Imer, things started to look up. They found rare jewels, which they used to bribe Cygnar officials from looking the other way of their more and more obvious attempts at disregarding the treaty. They also found oil, which they could refine into Menoth's Fury (think napalm or promethium) to fuel all kinds of fire-based weapons, from spears to flamethrowers. This combined with internal problems within Cygnar, namely their king being a dick with a younger, nicer brother who overthrew him, allowed the Protectorate to ignore the treaty entirely and build a massive army.
