The Order of the Crimson Blades is the religious militia in Vagrant Story. Made up of the Knights of the Cross, they strive to hunt down the Müllenkamp heretics and control the city of evil, Leá Monde. The true name of the order is Order of the Crimson Blade and Knights of the Cross, a band of elite knights under the command of the Iocus priesthood, led by Guildenstern. The order is opposed to the Parliament in politics, and to the Müllenkamps in ideology. The Blades laid siege to Leá Monde in order to pursue the fleeing Sydney and to stamp out the heresy spread by his cult.
