Knights of the Zarosian Loyalists

The Knights of the Zarosian Loyalists was an underground order dedicated to keeping Zaros' ideals alive, which was, chiefly, conquering one's own negative emotions. It was based heavily on this, and those in the order were known as the 'enlightened'. Its actions as an order remained relatively covert throughout its history, operating only in daylight for the purpose of scouting the Wilderness and other Fifth Age areas, as well as incursions into Zamorakian temples.

History
The order dates back to the early Third Age. When Zaros was ultimately banished from Gielinor, the founders sealed themselves inside a secret set of catacombs beneath the streets of western Keldagrim, where the Zarosian ideals and religion flourished. It remains the same to the current day.

Hierarchy

 * Hyperlyte - Highest rank, title held by the founders and brave loyalist fighters.
 * Zarosolyte - Second-highest rank, title held by skilled warriors and knowledgeable members of the Order.
 * Fractolyte - Third-highest rank, title held by those who graduated from the Trials.
 * Zephyrlyte - Third-lowest rank, title held by those ready to take the Trials.
 * Hedelyte - Second-lowest rank, title held by those who believe very strongly in the Zarosian ideals.
 * Novlyte - Lowest rank, title held by those who have been newly inducted into the Order.

Rituals

 * Initiation Ritual - A Zarosian cross is branded into the person's chest. Then, the person is combat tested against a Hyperlyte; not a kill fight, a win or lose fight. A fabric Zarosian cross is burned over a pyre fire and the initiate must walk on the hot coals. A redberry and jangerberry wreath is then placed on the initiate's head, amid sweet-smelling incense. A large scroll is handed to the initiate. Then, the current leader taps him on his shoulders with his sword, and the wreath is soaked in a bath of Salve River water. Then, at this point, the initiate is a member of the Order.
