Vilaya

Vilaya, Matron Saint of Justice, embodied the ironclad determination and immovable sense of purpose required to maintain order in a lawless world. Her followers include castle guards, soldiers and officers, and police forces.

The Sisters of Vilaya, also known as "God's guard dogs," act primarily as church-sanctioned executioners and bounty hunters. Their role is to dispense God's will in the most permanent fashion, and as such are the most rigorously-trained of all Sisters. More young women have died trying to earn their way into Vilaya's fold than any other fighting force.

Vilaya is also known as Heaven's Axe, the Lady in the Fountain, and Blood-Mother.

The Sisters of Vilaya
It would be safe to think of the Sisters of Vilaya as the special forces of the Father's House. They are, to a woman, thoroughly and mercilessly trained as warriors and tacticians; they act as guards, field officers, bounty hunters, and executioners.

A Sister of Vilaya is never seen without a weapon, and is most often recognized by her elaborate armor and stark-white cloak. Those chosen as executioners are well-known for the huge polearms they carry, known as long-axes.

Known colloquially as God's guard dogs, the Sisters of Vilaya are the vessels most used by the Father as displays of His power. Vilaya herself famously fended off 1000 men in a city square, defending a fountain dedicated to her sister Allacinne, before finally collapsing to her death—a feat which earned her the most common of her titles: the Lady in the Fountain. The Sisters seek daily to imitate their Saint's valor and courage.
