Unit list belonging to Temple.

Swordsman
The Church of the Sun brought their faith to Jadame in the only way they knew — though steel. Their well armed, disciplined swordsmen serve as both proselytes and guardians of Chalice’s flock.
Ranged Defense I: Takes -30% ranged damage.
Living 12 4 4 3A2px 2 to 3 80
Melee -5 to -5 -3 to 3 3 6 Upgrade: 20


Guard Captain
All templars are believers, but some prioritise military tradition over religious doctrine. The Arm of the Sun is an order that unites those who seek enlightenment through combat prowess rather than inquisitorial teachings.
Ranged Defense I: Takes -30% ranged damage.
Double Strike
Living 12 4 4 3A2px 2-3 100
Melee -5 to 5 -3 to 3 4 6 No Upgrade


Sun's Aegis
Those who believe in the power of the Chalice without question are imbued with the Sun’s strength, utterly convinced that their devotion to the Church will one day lead them to ascend as angels. A bit strange, if not ambitious.
Aegis: This unit and adjacent friendly units take -30% ranged damage.

Anointed for Defense: Whenever this unit gains a positive effect, its defense increases by 2 until the end of combat.

Living 15 4 7 2-3 100
Melee -5 to 5 -3 to 3 3 7 Upgrade N/A
Crossbowman
Animal handling has always been a challenge for humans. However, those with a talent for ranged combat forged such strong bonds with their hawks that they move as one, guiding each other against their foes.

Ranged -5 to 5 -3 to 3 3 5 Upgrade 30
Austringer
Austringers and their falcons possess razor-sharp instincts, striking in perfect unison at a single call. This rare bond makes them invaluable to the Templar forces — though some zealots question the purity of their souls.

Neither blessings nor gentle arts win wars — metallurgy does. The Church teaches self-perfection in all forms — soul, body, and steel. A heavy crossbow in hand, Order of the Anvil ensures their prayers strengthen the very weapons and armour they forge.

Temple Griffin
While the Sun serves as the official heraldry of the templars, many inquisitors emblazon the griffin onto their banners, claiming its noble presence as a symbol of inspiration.

Guardian Griffin
The Order of the Sky is entrusted with the care and breeding of griffins. These intelligent and formidable creatures are not only heavily armoured but also fiercely protective of their handlers.

Angel
The inquisition’s greatest belief is that angels still accompany their mission. What aids the templars in combat is but a meme imitation — a human soul willingly fused with winged armour, destined to continue the fight.

Archangel
The art of mimicking angels is the Church of the Sun’s most guarded secret, involving techniques beyond their understanding. It should have something to do with those heavily protected buildings they constructed in their cities. But, of course, that’s just a theory among us scholarly minds.

Ranged/Flyer -3 to 3 -3 to 3 5 12 Upgrade N/A
Apotheosis
A javelin in one hand and a pavise in the other, these battle suits embody the wrath of the Sun, crashing down upon those they deem unworthy. Bereft of mercy, they embrace the ideals the angels abandoned the church for: unbridled zealotry and intolerance for non-believers.
