A Templar Rite, otherwise known as a Rite of the Templar Order and collectively known as the Outer Temple of the Templar Order is a regional, usually country-specific branch of the Templars and collectively a separate governing structure from the Inner Sanctum. As the organization spread across the globe, Rites were established in virtually every country. All Rites are led by a single Grand Master or, in the absence of one, a Master Templar.[1]
Since at least the early 17th century, following the creation of the Inner Sanctum and the Council of Elders, the entire collective of Rites became the Outer Temple, and were not given access to the complete plans of the Templar Order going forward.[1] With the creation of the Black Cross, their service in the Outer Temple were to combat corruption and searching for Pieces of Eden while securing the plans of the Inner Sanctum and maintaining the Order's integrity,[2] by enforcing the Templar principles within the governing structures of Rites.[1]
