Deposing the Knightly Scourge

That the Knights of Saint John could even claim to be men of faith is a joke in and of itself. Perhaps in the days of Salah ad-Din, they may have been an honorable organization, even if still a heathen one. In recent years, however, the order has been nothing more than a gang of picaroons and reavers harassing our shipping lanes and seizing the goods of our peaceful merchants. Fortunately, now that we have expelled this band of thieves from Rodes, our merchants can once again travel the seas unmolested, and denizens of our coastal settlements can sleep without having to fear groups of marauding Franks seizing their wealth.
