<Ink-Stained Brackish Zephyr> Hey should we really be calling the Putus Templar's Doctrines "phylacteries" as is stated in the recent patchnotes (I havent seen it in game yet because I'm not very good)? "Phylacteries" is a word that doesn't really simply mean "religious text," it seems to specifically refer to a small collection of leather-bound passages from the Torah used in Orthodox Judaism. Considering the Templar are explicitly fascist, I don't really think thats an appropriate way to use this specific term. I am not myself Jewish but, from the outside looking in, this seems to be inappropriate.

Speaking from personal experience here but when I first saw the phylactery, the first thing that came to mind was the Dungeons & Dragons definition listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylactery

I am not sure that this is as problematic as it sounds…
