− | -**Knights of Solamnia:
| |
− |
| |
− | The Solamnic Knights were, as their name suggests, found in the Continent of
| |
− | Solamnia. They have only recently arrived in the islands of Winterkill and
| |
− | built a stronghold somewhere in the east of Wintercity. All the Orders of
| |
− | Solamnic Knights are loyal to the Gods of good, especially Paladine.
| |
− |
| |
− | Solamnic Knights champion the cause of justice and honour. They follow a strict
| |
− | code of honor called the Oath and the Measure, which they enforce with their
| |
− | very lives. The Oath of these Knights, Est Sularus oth Mithas
| |
− | ("My honor is my life"), is widely imitated and serves as the standard for
| |
− | knightly conduct almost everywhere.
| |
− |
| |
− | -Order of the Crown:
| |
− |
| |
− | Order of the Crown is the largest order in the rows of good knights. They are
| |
− | the most skilled in the physical combat, and their basic training also includes
| |
− | the basics of using the mount in the battle. The Order of the Crown favors the
| |
− | use of polearms as a weapon. They are also very well trained in the defensive
| |
− | maneuvers. The Crown Knights do not use spells in any way, but may still
| |
− | recite a prayer to their deity to reiceive a blessing from them.
| |
− |
| |
− | -Order of the Sword:
| |
− |
| |
− | "Knights of the Sword act as warriors for the gods of good, upholding the
| |
− | purest ideals of heroism and courage. Heroism is self-sacrificial fight for
| |
− | the cause of good. Heroic deeds include strengthening the weak, enriching the
| |
− | poor, freeing the enslaved, exonerating the falsely accused, championing the
| |
− | defenseless, and aiding fellow knights in need."
| |
− |
| |
− | "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
| |
− | 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
| |
− | 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
| |
− | 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
| |
− | after the downfall of Neraka in the War of the Lance. The purported son
| |
− | of Highlord Ariakas and the goddess Zeboim, Lord Ariakan, founded this Order
| |
− | of Dark Knights, and stood strong as its single guiding force. He ruled the
| |
− | Knights of Takhisis through his own personal magnetism, brilliant military
| |
− | strategy, and divine favour of the Queen of Darkness."
| |
− |
| |
− | Ariakan maintained that the keys to victory are order, discipline, and vision.
| |
− | "Bring order to our followers, and the will accomplish. Discipline them, and
| |
− | they will achieve. Give them vision, and they will move forward toward a common
| |
− | goal." In accordance with this, Ariakan created the foundations of the Knights
| |
− | 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.
| |
| Knights cannot join Ninja or Barbarian guilds. | | Knights cannot join Ninja or Barbarian guilds. |
