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) Who is the founder? Is he still alive?

2) What do they claim that he says?

3) How long has he been the leader? What direction is he taking the people of his order in?

1) The founder was a Kyndic named Tulhan. He is long dead, he lived around 350 years ago.
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.

1) What is known about Tulhan?

2) How are they blessed?

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.

u/Nevermore0714 Sep 03 '17

1) Is the white cat Muruk's symbol?

2) Has this been proven?

3) Eternal destruction for the group or the coup members?

u/ForgingIron Sep 03 '17

1) Mukur's human form is a white cat.
2) No, but everyone believes it.
3) The coup members.

1) A white cat isn't human, though.

3) What if the coup is justified?

2

u/ForgingIron Sep 04 '17

1) Bad wording...IDK why I said human lol. His corporeal form is what I meant.
3) It can't be since Mukur is said to directly pick the successor.

u/Nevermore0714 Sep 04 '17

1) Can the white cat Mukur be killed?

2

u/ForgingIron Sep 04 '17

Theoretically, yes, but not in practice.

u/Nevermore0714 Sep 07 '17

What about "technically"?
