Knights Orders of Fhomnair

Main Page: Humans

Orders of Knights who all serve the same region, but with varied and divided ideals, the Knights Orders of Fhomnair are an interesting, albeit loyal and devout, bunch.

Origins / The Order of the Golden Lance
In the wake of the founding of the Order of the Golden Lance by one Lord Commander Zy Ravenheart, a single recruit of the Order named Sir Garrik Walker left them to bring the idea to the Human lands of Fhomnair. The Humans, as their Merchant Houses developed, took up this concept and made it their own, sparking a sort of Knightly Renaissance within the region. The Orders all hold different ideologies, often tied to the Merchant families they work under.

The Steelsung
Serving under the Iron Order, the Steelsung are a cold and efficient Order of Knights who work to protect local businesses and workplaces. They can be found guarding and enforcing law at lumber mills, mines, and any cities under the Iron Order's protection. They have, however, been known to charge for this, asking for compensation for their protection, though this practice is not held in the higher ranks of the Order. They follow a code of self improvement similar to that of the craftsmen the protect, always striving to be the best they can be.

The Vinewood Pact
Like those they pay fealty to the Silverthorns, the Vinewood Pact are perhaps the most mysterious of the Knights' Orders. They serve to protect the rural territories exploited by the bank, bandits, or other Merchant Houses, often taking violent force in their vigilante justice. However, there is a terrifying efficiency to their killings, rumors claiming that those of the Pact simply enter bandit camps by night, and by the morning the bandits have disappeared without even a drop of blood. They follow tenants of freedom and protection of the poor and downtrodden. They claim to be the swords for those who cannot afford one.

The Hands of Commerce
With this paranoia fueled motivation, the Marigold family has established an order of peacekeepers known as the Hands of Commerce to deal with the riff raff and less fortunate that fill the slums and streets of Ponente. While these peacekeepers were created to be the face of the bank, presenting a reluctantly courteous and cooperative facade to those who are seeking financial assistance, they will not hesitate to take what was given, and then some if they are crossed or their contracts are breached. They are the tax marshals, the loan dealers, and debt collectors of Fhomnair, and to the less fortunate of Ponente, the looming axe above their heads.

The Ebony Legion
Known as the Mercenary House, this Fhomnair Merchant House are known to be one of the most efficient organization of soldiers in the Human lands. Though only a Knights' Order by technicality, they are the most powerful force in the Fhomnair grasslands.
