I hope you find this useful, it's not specific about the Golden Lions, but much of this info I've had problems finding elsewhere. I'm personally hoping to plan an RP around the True Resurrection (Which I will post about when the time comes).

From Champions of Valor,
Golden Lion (Paladin)

The Order of the Golden Lion serves Torm and was created specifically to serve the Penance of Duty accepted by those of his faith. Members of the order are a varied bunch but united in their devotion and strength of purpose. They develop special powers to defend good temples, defeat Faerunian evils, and repair damage to the Weave.

Hit Die: d10.

Requirements
To take a Golden Lion paladin substitution level, a character must have Torm as her patron deity, maintain the appearance of her armor and helm in accordance with the standards of the order, and be about to take her 1st, 4th or 6th level of paladin.
Furthermore, as part of an ongoing atonement for their church's hostilities toward other good churches in the years preceding the Time of Troubles, the Golden Lions pledge to help rebuild and defend these churches. Once per month each Golden Lion must perform a quest for or spend a day defending a good temple of another faith. The Golden Lion must follow orders from this temple as if they came from her own temple, but can disregard any order that conflicts with her own faith or that would certainly result in her death (the good faiths involved understand the boundaries of the Penance of Duty and won't ask for things they wouldn't ask of their own champions of the faith).
It's not great, but at least it's something. I'll check my other books for more.
