Flag of the Warrior Monks of Holy Athos

And the One-Hundred Eighty-Nine,
In the service of Heaven,
They're protecting the Holy line,
It was 1527,
Give their lives at the steps of Heaven,
Thy Will be done!

For the Grace, for the might of the Lord,
For the hope of the Holy,
For the Faith, for the way of the Sword,
Gave their lives so boldly!

For the Grace, for the might of the Lord,
In the name of His glory,
For the Faith, for the way of the Sword,
Come and tell their story again!


Well I had been working on-and-off on this for quite a while, but after hearing Sabaton's new album, I decided to quickly finish it over the past 24-or-so hours.

This is the Flag of the Warrior Monks of Holy Athos.  Soon to become relevant in Bloodline with a few other factions, the Warrior Monks hail from many Orthodox monasteries surrounding one of Greece's holiest sites - Holy Mount Athos.  Unlike many Christian sects, Orthodoxy does not forbid its religious leaders to take part in armed war.  Therefore, when the Axis invaded the country, many of the monks of Greece's monasteries took up arms against the invaders.  One such group, the Monks of Holy Athos.  Having been harassing and fighting the Axis force in the North of Greece, moving about, and keeping their affiliations a complete secret so to protect the holy sites, the Monks have long been a thorn in the side of the Fascist Powers which occupy Greece.
