Soon, devout soldiers and warrior-priests in service to Akatosh began to flock to the Order's banner. The feared retribution against the Divines by the Longhouse Emperors never materialized, however, and the Order of the Hour transformed into a small but elite unit of bodyguards devoted to the Cathedral and its resident Primate, the leader of the Akatosh faith. In many ways, the Order of the Hour developed into a mostly ceremonial organization, although they maintained their training and combat readiness. When the occasional threat did strike from the shadows, the Order was prepared. |

| − | Take, for example, the [[Kvatch Bread Riots]] of [[2E 467]]. The common folk, fearful and angry due to the [[Red Wheat]] blight that devastated crops for the second year in a row, decided that Akatosh and his priests weren't doing enough to rectify the situation. [[Gruff Bojour]] led an ax- and torch-bearing mob to the very steps of the Cathedral, intent on inflicting violence and making their displeasure known. But the Order of the Hour was ready for the assault, and Sister Severa and her warrior-priests slaughtered half the crowd before even a single torch had been thrown. The Primate promised to pray to end the tribulation, and by the next season the blight had run its course. |

Other examples of the bravery and dedication of the Order of the Hour exist, including saving [[Primate Phrastus]] from an assassin's blade in [[2E 540]] and rescuing a caravan of priests and pilgrims from bandits in [[2E 561]]. The Order has never wavered from its vow to serve and protect the Cathedral, and by extension, the priests and worshipers who occupy the holy place. |
