Knights of Tezoth

Actually, the folks in Tenerezza are the kindest; we could play as them

You can tell by the heroes' faces that they are absolute monstrosities.

In that case, take Guildaria. On the other hand, Lorele has protection against item breaking. Albus has decent bonuses, but everyone there is in an order, as if everyone is a Knight, and if everyone is a Knight, then no one is a Knight.
So it might be better to go by conviction, if there's no lore concept and the region doesn't matter
