Zealots
The Zealots were powerful mercenaries and warriors who operated in Anglo-Saxon England during the 9th century and served as secretive enforcers for the Order of the Ancients, helping them enforce their decrees throughout the country. The Zealots had been devoted to the Order for most of their lives, and spent their time wandering the land in search of anyone who attempted to defy the Order.[1]
Each of the Zealots underwent unique training regimens from various ancient warrior schools within the Anglian, Saxon, and Brittonic warrior codes. Most of them upheld the pagan beliefs of the Order, such as practicing seidr or druidic mysticism, which were also common amongst the local tribes of England.[1] Despite their position as the fanatical foot soldiers of the Order, some Zealots ended up developing unusual and, at times, complicated friendships with members of the Order.[2]
With the assistance of the Hidden Ones Hytham and Basim ibn Ishaq, the Viking Eivor Varinsdottir tracked down and assassinated all the Zealots roaming the English countryside to obtain clues on the identities of the Order's members.[3]
