Templar Knights developed a reputation as fierce warriors during key battles of the Crusades, driven by religious fervor and forbidden from retreating unless vastly outnumbered. They also set up a network of banks that enabled religious pilgrims to deposit assets in their home countries and withdraw funds in the Holy Land. Along with their donated fortune and various business ventures, this system gave the Knights Templar enormous financial sway. At the height of their influence, they boasted a sizeable fleet of ships, owned the island of Cyprus and served as a primary lender to European monarchs and nobles.
If my history services me right, "Templar Knights" were religious extremists who killed innocent people of other religions because they felt their cause was holy and justified. Hmmm... do you recognize the modern equivalent?
Nothing to really be proud of, or name yourself after...
I'm sure you could find issues with any name a faction might chose. The Templars are also a modern day society that does a lot of good. We don't always have to look for the negative side of things.
I went to check it up my self but found this that I would like to share....
"In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog), either accidentally[3][4] or with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[5] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion."
Clearly the Post explaining the naming of the faction (by the same person who posted the announcement and started the thread): "Templar Knights developed a reputation as fierce warriors during key battles of the Crusades, driven by religious fervor and forbidden from retreating unless vastly outnumbered."
So your idea about modern day Templar Knights is not founded, you're just speculating.
