History
• StormSaint and his trusted Retinue ended up unknowingly travelling through an interdimensional portal also called a "Gate". The covergence of the realms was brief, but they were not the only beings to be pulled through. The Order used diplomacy to prove that they are not an enemy of the people's of the empire. Through stringent negotiations and deeds performed, The Knighthood became staunch allies to the empire and Warfell, an find out the cause of the Gates. Perhaps this can lead to answers to the recent sightings of deamons and other sinister creatures... The Order was reestablished to stop the Undead that plague the land of Age of Fantasy, they will help the Empire and Warfell against the Undead, the deamons summoned by them, and those who are seen as accomplices, such as the nefarious warlocks of the Veriengar clan, who have been sharing secrets with liches to learn the spell Hell of Pain by Sacrifice.
Ecology/Society
Little is known of their Homeland. In fact, few individuals know about the Gates and the possibilities of where they even lead. But, The Order has established "Regions" by which they hold vigil over the land. Their Citidel, Haven, is by far the most famous of these Mountian Fortresses. These people are long-lived and slow to trust, but they are Honor-bound, compassionate, and protective.
They train from a young age (7 years) to become able to cobmat the forces of evil. Depending upon their personal aptitude, they train in various ways. Converts may also take upon themselves the mantle to protect their peers, but such honor is not taken lightly. Rigorous practice and testing of the mind, body, and faith are constants in this society. Everyone who is a part of this Order, is to come together. Working together as well as alone, these individuals come to be able to accomplish great works.
Religion, Relations, and Magic
The people of the Order of Aurora Argentum Look to the heavens for aid. The things they see are stars that form constellations, they believe that these are signs of what actions to take. Since the stars change position, especially radically when prophecies come to pass, they see them as directions from the Gods.
Hence their banner is a 4-tipped star with a dawn-burst in the center (the sun counts as a star).
Their main magic is Etherial. Their magic revolves around light, and they believe that there is a balance between the light (healing) and Storms. The storms of their homeworld meant that the God's were displeased. Evil has spread and it must be stopped. So the God's have appointed individuals who are pure in heart and deed, Saints, to use their power to stop the unnatural evils of the world before it consumes life itself.
Natural relations (General Races)
Humans(+): being that many are humans to begin with, they forge alliances easily, if the cause is just.
Elves(+): both have a common goal, to protect life, while their priorities may differ, they cherish the same things, but in different ways
Dwarves(+/-): they are able to relate by their almost unsurmountable sense of honor, but wealth or the laws of mortal affairs mean little to the order.
Scaledfolk (+/-): they have little interaction. So many greet with suspicion and mistrust. There are few instances where certain actions could end in outright hostility. (ie: sacrifices)
Orcs(-): their views often clash, one bent on conquest, the other on perserving life. Thus, there are many battles between the orcs and the Knighthood.
Undead(-): being that they are unnaturally perserved by the dark magics that were twisted from true light (Etherial magic). They are the sworn enemies of the Knighthood. Not to mention, they are rumored to have caused the rifts (Gates between the demonic/devil planes and the world of mortals).
Their magic comes in 2 forms.
Etherial (Light): used for healing and defense. It is mentioned to remove unnatural afflictions
Etherial (Tempest): comes in the form of "Celestial Lightning". It comes from the sky. It strips enemies of their powers as well as dealing damage to them.
