KNIGHTS OF THE EVERLASTING LIGHT

The Knights of the Everlasting Light are a Knight Order based in Essen dedicated to uphold the values of Verena, Goddess of Truth and Justice, and sworn to protect the common people from any and all harms in the context of justice and fairness.

The Knights of the Everlasting Light are a doomed Order, an institution that shoulders the heavy burden of an ancient and terrible curse. Many view these warriors with a mixture of sympathy and mockery, for they cannot understand why any would voluntarily accept the curse by joining the ranks of this ancient Brotherhood. Despite their blight, the Knights of the Everlasting Light are noble and true in their service to their Goddess, and amongst the countless tales of their curse there are an even number of them revolving around their heroism and bravery. These Tales are always coloured by gloomy ends and desperate efforts to hold back the call of the curse that afflicts them all. It is due to their self-sacrifice to this horrible curse in order to uphold Justice and Fairness amongst Man, that they are amongst the most beloved Order in the eyes of the common people.

Like many Templar Orders, the Knights of the Everlasting Light traces its origins to the crusade against Karim, where it gained its fame and fortune from doing their part in the war-effort. Though they uphold the ideals of Fairness and Justice, it was during their great trek through the war-ravaged lands that they would be cursed for a single act of cruelty that will mark them for the rest of eternity. Legend states that when these knights passed through a small town filled with women and children, they hardened their hearts and slew them all without mercy or forgiveness. No one knows why they did it, but it was at their last dying breath, that the matriarch of the village cursed these knights for all time consigning them to a life of heroic service, but one that will ultimately doom them to ignoble deaths.

The curse first became apparent when the Order made its way home from the crusades, its ships laden down with fabulous treasures from their many victories against the Sultans of Karim. Despite the sea being calm, and the Order's ships sailing in a fleet along with ships from countless other Orders, only their very own ships sunk, sending the wealth of the Order to the bottom of the Black Gulf. In the centuries that followed, the Order has suffered worse and worse turns of bad luck, ranging from strange outbreaks of illnesses that afflict only their Knights, to blights in the food they purchase and having their horses be born with strange mutations and illnesses. Nearly every knight has met some ignoble end at the hands of this curse.

The knights swear to uphold the values of Verena, truth and justice, although as a result of their noble status, most of their views are skewed somewhat. The commoners they "deliver" unto justice do not always agree with their pronouncements. The Knights of the Everlasting Light wield great swords, representing the sword of justice, and wear expensive and elaborate plate armor.They are known to polish their armour to a highly reflective shine and their primary symbol is that of a lit candle, sometimes modified to feature a forked flame. In battle, they wield enchanted lances that gleam with such luminosity that the foe cannot see to adequately defend themselves against the Templars' devastating charge.
