Theme Song!

Alignment: Any (Commonly LN, LE, N, NE)
Headquarters: Undisclosed Location
Leader: Anfernal (Lictor)
Prominent Members: Shel Kazer (Mistress of Guns)
Structure: Military hierachy
Scope: Regional
Resources: Island Academy is tri-funded by House Thrune, House Blakros and House Kazer. Additional funds are sourced from several prominent houses, guilds and organizations of the Inner Sea Region

It started out from a single caravan focused in demon hunting. It grew in membership size as slaves and death-row prisoners from Cheliax were recruited as their last chance at life. Firearms were then used to their continued hunt for demons.

Recruits start off as rangers or gunslingers and advance to Gun Tanks after mastering the heavy armor proficiency. Those who excel in stealth are trained in the the shadow arts of Gun-Kata and donned special tailor-made leather armor infused with magic. Such leather armor are as intimidating as its Hellknight heavy armor counterparts.

Current Status:
The majority of the Order is in Nerosyan, fighting off the recent demonic invasion. The Order has also acquired an Annihilator robot, named Anfernator, courtesy of the Void Shadowmage Anfernus. The Order's Lictor, Anfernal, has also been promoted to Seeker rank of the Pathfinder's Society. A group of Black Powder recruits, lead by Shel Kazer, have been mobilized to the City of Kenabres to lend aid.

Goal:
To promote the use of firearms for the Cheliaxian Army, research and develop advanced firearms and establish good working relationship with the Grand Duchy of Alkenstar.


Structure and Leadership:
The Order is leaded by husband and wife, Anfernal and Shel Kazer.
Rumors are that the couple are merely puppet leaders to the true masters of the new order.
The mission for each demon hunter caravan is the same.
1) Hunt down demons.
2) Acquire powerful and advanced technology.
3) Establish a reputation as the best damn organization ever.
As each caravan increases in experience and skill, they are rewarded with better gear.
Gold will always be minimal, to disencourage the hunters from wasting it on pleasures.

Public Perception:
The other Hellknight Orders do not accept the new Order, due to the fact that they recruit criminals and other non-lawful individuals. While no hostilities has occurred so far, the traditional Orders openly dismissed the Black Powder as common thugs.
