In a shocking announcement, the Grandmaster of the Holy Order of Saint Parnum hte Thunderer, has announced that the ancient order has been "activated" following their claim that Dolgava is falling away from Hosian doctrine, and falling for what they called "worldism", or the belief in the worldly things, instead of Hosianism.

The Order of Saint Parnum the Thunderer was founded in 2825 and participated in the Dolgavan Crusade in 3423-3440, crushing Luthorian privateers and Pontesi pirates, before conquering the pagan lands inside of Dolgava, and helping establish a unified Dolgava. Their mission as both a religious organization has not changed, with them maintaining influence in Dolgava for thousands of years, however in times of crisis, they have reactivated the military order of Saint Parnum the Thunderer, when Dolgava is ever threatened. The exact whereabouts of the group in the year 3452 are unknown, but a large portion of the order stayed in Dolgava, building a castle and continuing their work, even after the end of the Augustinian Empire and the end of the crusades. This group has maintained a presence as a paramilitary organization which strives to maintain the Hosian faith inside of Dolgava, and defend Dolgava against any outside attacker or invader.

The current Supreme Master of the Order of Saint Parnum the Thunderer in Dolgava, Konstantīns Bīriņš made the announcement, calling for all members of the order, and anyone who is a protector of the faith to show, "good diligence and charity", and that "threats from within, are as dangerous as external threats".

The Augustinian Church of which the order follows, has had declining influence in Dolgava for many years, it is true that the Confessional Church of Dolgava is the largest Hosianism sect in the country, with the Royal Family long ago changing from Augustinians to Confessionals, however the Augustinians still are the second largest church in the country.

The bigger complaint from the order, is the growing straying away from Orthodox Hosian beliefs, with many forgetting tradition, falling away from the church, and many more factors. This along with the recent scare of criminal gangs, that attacked churches, something that has been a major concern for the church. The Grandmaster said that any more targeting of churches, will be met with the "full force of the Holy Order", which would certainly mean an armed confrontation.

The Holy Order has over 500 knights, and thousands of members and has seen a massive surge in growth over the past few years. Some progressive politicians have labeled this group as "terrorists", but they have devoted their existence for charity for many years, and this position remains unpopular, as the order is well liked across Dolgava. The order once again seemingly is trying to flex its influence over Dolgava once again, something many may support or detest.
