> The closest you're going to get is the ragers with their hate of magic. And maybe a new Knight cabal. A while back, during the long time between fall of knights and rise of Dawn, The Idea of an austere, ascetic warrior society for the light (aka whitecloaks, or Knight's Templar, or a mix between) was put forward on Glimo's idea forum. And was promptly shouted down by EVERYONE, because "thats stealing, cf needs to be original, it doesnt need to take things from books" It was pointed out that ogier, Aridhol, Shadar Logoth, Tar Valon, White tower, (possibly the kernal of idea for Seantryn),ossendrelle, ossenrein, and surrounding lands all come from WOT, not to mention the theft from Tolkien.(I use the word theft not in a derogitory way, in no way are anny copywrite laws broken). It was then decided, that the Idea we Put forward would not work, because a whitecloak cabal(even one not against magic) would have no place in Thera. And people still yelled angrily for suggesting adding something to cf from WOT. Just a bit of history on the idea of a cabal based on this sort of thing.
