Temple Knights

The Temple Knights are a group of Saradomin's servants, dedicated to defeating any threat to Saradomin. To join, the applicant must be at least a White Knight. Sir Tiffy Cashien is the head of recruitment. If you want to join, you must complete the Recruitment Drive quest. They were founded by Saradomin himself in the middle of the Third Age and were the ones who imprisoned the Sea slugs and their leader, Mother Mallum, in the time of the God Wars.

True Cause
Whether or not the Temple Knights are as "good" as they make out remains to be seen. Juna the snake, who is met during the Tears of Guthix quest, comments that their intentions may not be what they seem when the player tells her of their exploits involving the Temple Knights. Even Lucien believes that following the Temple Knights will inevitably be bad for you, stating that "...the Black Knights have been more politically motivated of late by their ongoing persecution at the hands of those hypocrites, the White Knights, and their masters, the Temple Knights, whose machinations will only be to your detriment." Also, certain Saradominists may claim to do the right thing (such as H.A.M.), and may even deem it to truly be good, yet such views may not necessarily be upheld by others of "good" (such as Players). Players tend to get them confused with the White Knights, due to their strong ties to each other.

Ranks
Currently there are two known ranks within the Temple Knight order: Initiate and Proselyte. Initiates are White Knights newly inducted into the Temple Knight order and have access to Initiate armour while proselytes are a rank above initiate and have access to both Initiate and Proselyte armour.

It is currently not known if Temple Knights, like White Knights, have Acolyte and Partisan ranks too, although this speculation is likely due to the yellow-plumed White Knights being classified as Proselyte. Also, Sir Gerry the dying knight, outside of God Wars Dungeon, is a temple knight and wears armour that appears to be elite white armour. However, no armour that currently exists is known as that in the game; or even looks like it.

Sir Ewain's armour also hints at higher levels of Temple Knight Equipment.
