Knight Cabal

Long before the time of turmoil, before the cabals and their wars, Aabahran was ruled under one King. This King's name was Cormac MacNessa, and though his strictness cannot be argued, peace flourished throughout the lands. Cormac dictated laws and they were enforced by his trusted Knights. Called the Knights of the Crown they were composed of the most Elite and Disciplined warriors in the land. An army that never lost and whose spirit could never be broken, they followed a set of Commandments given by the Gods of Light themselves. The Knights alone held the darkness at bay, and no power could break through their regiments to invade the peaceable lands of Aabahran.

Like so many perfect kingdoms the end came as a result of treachery. The end of Cormac was swift as an assassin killed him in his home. The King was poisoned with hemlock when he drank from his goblet while at dinner with his family. His death devastated his Order of Knights, but also strengthened their resolve.

In the years to pass after Cormac's departure into Heaven, the Knights continued to do as they always had. They protected the innocent, kept a keen watch over the cities and the forests of Aabahran, and kept the Nexun forces at bay. Over time they had separated into two different orders under the same Banner. Those who were more interested in actively with sword and shield upholding the values of courage and honor were called the Praetorians. The more diplomatic, peaceful order came to be known as the Sigils, those which could see all evil for what it was and guide the Praetorians to victory against the tides of Darkness.

The Knights in this day and age are very similar to those back during Cormac's times. They have a set of rules to follow that are written in stone called the Commandments. A copy can be found in the halls of Hope, and the original in their castle. Those who fly the banner of the Knights have many trials and tribulations to overcome, and keeping the Commandments and being honest and truthful to their hearts make the tasks they must face a little bit easier.

Essentially, the Knights stand for the innocent, the honest, and the trustworthy. Should any of these virtues be threatened, the Knights have n obligation to defend them.
