Fjord Baronies: Palpal knight influences?

Oh lawd!
Of course, both are actually take inspiriation from real life, and no, not the KKK. They again take inspiration from an actual organization older than they.


At any rate, I wonder which influenced GOI? Pointy hats and halberds fir the palpal knights of hellsing to a T, but that's not to say it's what they're using as inspiration.
Speculation on pointy hats hooooo!

Moreso, it's from their adventure mode storyboard that they are developing.

they said that the problem with the baronies was creating the story and the overall theme for the faction. However they have also said that they were interested in linking the powerhouse to religion.

Nice! The scant background we have on them does seem like it could be pretty polarized, but it's curious they're involving religion in it.

I think a similar brotherhood, or at least garbed the same way, are the supposed guardians of the Holy Grail in Spain.
