Figured I would open this up to outside opinion and make it easier to read. I hate long discussions using the note system. Also, I feel like perhaps more than any other guild, Knight/Order things affect the game as a whole.I'm seriously considering splitting the knights and the Order again for
a few reasons. May I know how many of you would be doggedly against that?

Misune: After inquiry, I do agree that a splitting would probably be for
the best.
Lakali: I do not like the idea with that, the merge has to my knowledge
been wonderful because of little activity in the Order, and quicker access
with contacting the branches/roleplay.
Karrina: I believe that it is best that the two stay merged. First, I will
point out that Knight portion of the guild is still pretty active. While
this may seem that it is a reason for us to split, it is my opinion that it
really points out that the two should stay the same so as to not let that
one particular guild languish since there are not that many people
interested in such RP. There is still a clear chain of command for either
side, plus it is as Lakali stated. Communication is much better
facilitated between the two.
Gerolf: I could argue both ways: The priests have been crutched by the
Knights. If we split them the priests will have 3 active members and
potentially two other active members. That being said in many ways we
function as two separate guilds anyway. Kinky, what are your reasons for a
split?
---------------------------------
With that said, I would vote in ENTIRELY the opposite direction. I think we should be merging them more, and having Knight Inquisitors (Knights trained in Inquisitorial and martial methods but not in priestly affairs/blessings or ecclesiastical education). The biggest thing I wish would happen would be the merging of the Grand Inquisitor and Earl Marshall roles. Not only does it make sense, but it would save the Order from effectively having four GLs with their hands in the pot and a say in what goes on.
Separating them at this point is a very bad idea, and will only undo the cohesion that past GLs have worked to foster. If anything, current GLs need to work together to bridge the gap growing.
