The first was simply a square divided vertically
into two sections. One section black depicting the sins of
the secular world that the Templar Knights had chosen to
leave. The second section was white depicting the purity
that the order offered them. A sort of transformation of
darkness to light.
The second Beauseant was a square quartered
creating a tile of black and white. Centered in this
checkerboard was the Templar Cross. During battle part
of the Templar fighting rules was that no knight could
stop fighting so long as the Beauseant was flying in the air.
In fact no Templar could retreat unless outnumbered by
three to one.
