Difference between revisions of "King Lance Steelblade"

<br />Headquartered in a castle situated on a nigh unapproachable outcrop, the Knights of Accord, even in their current weakened state, are the largest group of trained soldiers on the continent.  A generation ago, they were invincible, bringing peace and order to every point on the map.  Their downfall started during the chaotic events of twenty years ago, their last noble born leader died in mysterious circumstances along with a large number of the most senior knights.  The Knights remain an effective force, but until their numbers can be rebuilt and trained to the standards of a generation ago, they will not be the force for order they once were. In an effort to return to their days of glory, they have opened their rolls to female recruits.  It is a break with tradition that doesn't sit well with many, but the dire situation merits a new way of thinking.  With their forces slowly becoming more numerous and experienced, the Knights of Accord are the best hope humanity has against the gathering darkness.

<br />'Order' means different things to different people.  While the Knights fight to keep the peace, this often comes at the price of them ignoring larger concerns.  The Knights can only attempt to stop things getting worse rather than being a true force to change the world for the better. Their current depleted state means they are overstretched with all the myriad dangers the world is experiencing.  Work is underway to improve matters, but it will be years before the improvements are seen unless some outside help is forthcoming.
