| maneuvers. The Crown Knights do not use spells in any way, but may still

|
| |
|
| -Order of the Sword:

|
| |

| | [[KnightRank|Rank]]<br/> |
| defenseless, and aiding fellow knights in need."
| | [[KnightMasteries|Masteries]]<br/> |
| | |
| "Courage is readiness to die honourably in the fight for good. Courageous acts
| |
| include facing evil fearlessly, defending the honour of the knighthood,
| |
| defending the honour of a fellow knight, and protecting the defenseless and
| |
| weak."
| |
| | |
| Sword Knights have a limited selection of clerical spells available for them.
| |
| As their name suggests, most of the knights in Order of the Sword use a sword
| |
| as a weapon.
| |
| | |
| -Order of the Rose:
| |
| | |
| "The Knights of the Rose are the epitome of all that is good and honourable
| |
| in the knighthood. The Order of the Rose embodies honor guided by justice and
| |
| wisdom."
| |
| | |
| "Honour is allegiance to one's Oath to defend the cause of good. Honourable
| |
| deeds include sacrificing oneself for the sake of others, refusing to surrender
| |
| to or ally with an evil foe, defending the knighthood to the death, protecting
| |
| the lives of fellow knights, and living true to the Oath in all matters."
| |
| | |
| "Justice is the heart of the Measure and the soul of a Rose Knight: to render
| |
| to everyone creature, person, or god his or her due. Just acts include aiding
| |
| those who are less fortunate, donating all wealth to the knightly coffers
| |
| (except what is needed for personal or parochial upkeep), worshipping and
| |
| obeying Paladine and the gods of good, fighting injustice with courage and
| |
| commitment, and seeing that no life is wasted or sacrificed in vain."
| |
|
| |
|
| The Rose Knights are the highest order of the Knights of Solamnia. They have
| | Guild tree:<br> |
| access to variety of clerical spells, even the very powerful ones. They also
| |
| are trained in physical combat well. As a clerics, the Knights of Rose often
| |
| favor blunt weapons.

|
| |
|
| -**Knights of Takhisis: (CURRENTLY CLOSED AND UNDER REFORMAT)
| |
|
| |
|
| The Knights of Takhisis were found by a Ariakas in the world far away. He
| | *[[Knight Main]]<br/> |
| was captured by the troops of Knight of Solamnia after the lost war, and
| |
| kept as a prisoner for years. However Ariakas studied the techniques and
| |
| strategy of Solamnic Knights, and after he was released, he formed his own
| |
| order that mimiced the Solamnic Knights in many ways. However he didn't
| |
| enforce the overflowing honor and justice, and inflexible manners that
| |
| Solamnic Knights had, but made their ranks even more efficient in many
| |
| ways.
| |
|
| |
|
| The Knights of Takhisis consist a three different paths that one
| | Weapon subs:<br/> |
| can choose from; The Order of Lily, The Order of Skull and the Order of
| |
| Thorn.
| |
|
| |
|
| "The Knights of Takhisis are a military Order that formed some twenty years
| | *[[The Blade Knights]] |
| after the downfall of Neraka in the War of the Lance. The purported son
| | *[[The Paladins]] |
| of Highlord Ariakas and the goddess Zeboim, Lord Ariakan, founded this Order
| | *[[The Templars]] |
| of Dark Knights, and stood strong as its single guiding force. He ruled the
| | *[[The High Clergy]] |
| Knights of Takhisis through his own personal magnetism, brilliant military
| | *[[The Phalanx]] |
| strategy, and divine favour of the Queen of Darkness."
| | *[[The Spearmen]] |
|
| |
|
| Ariakan maintained that the keys to victory are order, discipline, and vision.
| | Special subs:<br/> |
| "Bring order to our followers, and the will accomplish. Discipline them, and
| | *[[The Red Banner]] |
| they will achieve. Give them vision, and they will move forward toward a common
| | *[[The Unyielding Bastion]] |
| goal." In accordance with this, Ariakan created the foundations of the Knights
| | *[[The Divine Messengers]] |
| of Takhisis - the Vision, the Blood Oath, and the Code.
| |
| | |
| -Order of the Lily:
| |
| | |
| "Independence breeds chaos. Submit and be strong."
| |
| | |
| "The Knights of the Lily are the military might of the knighthood and the
| |
| center of political power as well. The Order of the Skull and the Order of
| |
| the Thorn are separate, with their won particular skills and areas of
| |
| responsibility. While it may look to an outsider as if the Knights of the Lily
| |
| are the dominant force in the knighthood, all three orders provide the
| |
| necessary functions and are considered equal in power and authority, differing
| |
| only in jurisdiction and function."
| |
| | |
| The Knights of the Lily are, as said, the military might of the Knights of
| |
| Takhisis. They are the ones with the unmatched skills in leadership and
| |
| battle-planning. They are the most skillfull fighters, using a ruthless
| |
| techniques in battle, often finishing the enemy before the fight has even
| |
| properly started. However they, as all knights, believe in honor and fair
| |
| fight. Most of the Knights of Lily favor the axes as their choice of weapon.
| |
| Unlike other orders, the Lilies may efficiently use two weapons, and cause a
| |
| devastating battle-maneuvers with them.
| |
| | |
| | |
| -Order of the Skull:
| |
| | |
| "Death is patient, flowing from without and within. Be vigilant in all
| |
| and skeptical of all."
| |
| | |
| "These Knights form the clerical order of the Knights of Takhisis, and their
| |
| higher-ranking members serve as Adjudicators of the Code. They practice the
| |
| healing arts and are also in charge of both external intelligence and internal
| |
| security. Skull Knights work their art by stealth and subtlety rather than by
| |
| force, leaving that to the other two orders."
| |
| | |
| As a Clerics the Order of the Skull prefers the blunt weapons. Some of the
| |
| Skull Knights choose to use their bare hands in combat, charging their hands
| |
| with fearful powers of darkness. The Skull Knights have the power to raise and
| |
| rebuke the undead, and most of their spells are in a way or the other related
| |
| to death.
| |
| | |
| -Order of the Thorn:
| |
| | |
| "One who follows the heart finds it will bleed. Feel nothing but
| |
| victory."
| |
| | |
| Knights of the Thorn are an order of wizards. The Grey Robe Knights, as they
| |
| are known, operate completely outside the other ranks of the spellcasters,
| |
| refuse to swear any allegiance to any of the magics, including black, and are
| |
| therefore considered renegade wizards by all other magical guilds.
| |
| | |
| The Order of the Thorn, as said are knights with magical spells. Most of their | |
| spells are of destructive nature, and often violent in many ways. It is said
| |
| that the gray robed wizards can turn a living being into a dust with a single
| |
| spell. The order is also trained in hand-to-hand combat, and favor a sword as
| |
| a weapon. Some of the Thorn Knights might fight bare-handed, aided by their
| |
| dark enchantments. The Thorn Knights are in a way the highest order of the
| |
| Knights of Takhisis, and should be well-feared. Altought Thorn Knights use
| |
| the magic as their weapon, they are bound to follow the Blood Oath and
| |
| The Code.
| |
| | |
| | |
| NOTE: Knights cannot attack or kill eachothers unless their leader tells them
| |
| otherwise. This goes with Solamnia vs. Takhisis too. Ones that kill
| |
| inside the ranks will find their honor suddenly gone.
