Knights of the Holy Flame

''"Through Fire and Steel, Righteousness shall prevail." ''

A holy order devoted to Pelor, the Sun God. They are an old organization, founded even before the Imperium. The knights are quite popular among the human realms of the western shore and have a sizable military presence in many cities.

Members of the order take a sacred oath to serve the Light, fight Evil and uphold the Law. Once their training is finished the initiates are given a choice between becoming a knight or undergo a grueling training in the hope of becoming a paladin. While the former role is more akin to military service, paladins are lone warriors who set out to bring the Light to far away lands.

The Knights and the Outsiders
The Outsiders first encountered the Knights during their adventure at the Plains of Throkkar where they were trying to save members of an NGTC caravan who got captured by Cleaver orcs. At the Dryblood orc camp they encountered a strange trader who later turned out to be Sir Berthold, first ranger of the Light of Grace chapter of the Knights. He enlisted the party in his plan to liberate all captives from the orc camp.

In the city of Stoneharbor
In Stoneharbor they became a major force about 40 years ago as they played a key role in restoring order after the Paradise Crisis as their clerics and paladins had the means to detect those who had sold their souls. Now they operate almost independently in the city, most of the city guards try to stay out of the knights’ business as much as possible. In Stoneharbor they are led by Knight Commander Ashthorn while logistical manners are handled by Steward Tully.
