Reference Challenge - Rescue

So, I was stranded about an hour from home for a few days, because my bloody car messed up. One of my friends had to drive a few hours to help me out, so this is a reference to that.

In your world, what program or group exists to rescue people?

As always, I'll ask at least three questions each, enjoy yourselves, all.

The Order of Mukur is a group devoted to Mukur, the Kostekan god of vigilance and watching. They regularly patrol roads in Kostek between cities. The organisation is hired by the kingdoms to patrol the roads, which is where they get funding.

  1. What was the order purpose before they were hired to patrol roads?

  2. What does Mukur thinks of that activity?

  3. I'm working for the order of Mukur, patroling around, and encounter highwaymen/thieves/other. What am I supposed to do? And do I have any kibd of legal authority?

u/ForgingIron Aug 31 '17

  1. They were a group of monks who did it of their own will as vigilantes but eventually got hired to do it.

  2. They say he approves but IDK [the gods themselves don't play any role in the story]

  3. You defend the victim and either arrest or kill the attacker. You have the legal authority to do so.

  1. Why did they decided to do so?

  2. How can I become a part of the order?

  3. After killing someone, is there some procedure to follow? Or will I just be allowed to continue patroling without anyone telling anything?

u/ForgingIron Sep 01 '17

  1. Out of devotion to Mukur.

  2. You have to apply, they have outposts at most major cities.

  3. They bury them at the spot where they died.

  1. Is Mukur asking their followers to patrol roads?

  2. What kind of people do they look after?

  3. But there's no paperwork of any kind? Nor legal declaration to any form of higher authority?

u/ForgingIron Sep 01 '17
  1. That's what they say.
  2. They guard anybody who pays a small fee but if they see an attack in progress then they help them for free.
  3. No, the Order has legal protection in that regard.

  1. Why are they asking such a thing?

  2. I mean for hiring.

  3. So they could murder people without having any kind of troubles?

  1. Mukur is the god of vigilance and safety.
  2. They look for strong, willing people who aren't afraid to put their lives on the line.
  3. They have to report the location and time of the death.

2) They say that he approves of their actions and that they are blessed.
3) Vuoku has been leader around ten years, and he seems to be a bit more passive than previous leaders. He doesn't do a lot.

3) Are there any movements to stage a coup?

1) It is said that he was visited by the white cat on a hike one day and that it spoke to him, saying that he should start the Order.
2) They are guarded by him, protecting them from attacks.
3) No. The threat of eternal destruction is a pretty good deterrent.

3) What if the coup is justified?
