(CR 1332-1334)
The Knights of Mistmore began their careers in Arabel, and eventually merged with Damage, Inc., prior to their move to Bloodstone. Late in their existence, the group had extensive interactions with Damage, Inc.and the marriage of Niteshade (from Damage, Inc) and Lilijana (one of the Knights) cemented the merger of the two adventuring groups.
1332 – The Year of the Prince. The Knights of Mistmore first form as Adventuring Party #313 in Arabel, Cormyr. The Knights meet on the road, and are soon embroiled in a mystery where a mage in Arabel is creating puppets to steal for her. They succeed in stopping her, and as a reward are given her tower. They are issued a charter as “Adventuring Party #313”, later adopting the name Knights of Mistmore. They also enlist in The Watch, the police force of Arabel. Also in this year, as a mission for The Watch, they solve the mystery of the fate of a wizard. Later, in the service of The Watch, they are teleported away to help The Downs with a curse, which leads them to meet The Forest Oracle. On Elient 20, they rescue Sarah Belfast the wife of Henry Belfast (a member of The Watch) and daughter of Cwell Belfast, kidnapped and being held in a cave where the kidnappers were the least of the problems encountered, as it happened to be a resting place for some powerful undead! Sarah and Cwell also happened to be members of the Harpers, and as a result of her successful rescue, invite Lilijana to join the Harpers (she accepts). Eriam also accepts a membership in the Thief’s Guild of Arabel this year. Later that year, they visit Sarp Redbeard, Lord of Wheloon, to help him with a Lizardman problem, and eventually defeat Sakatha the Lizard King. This earns them the notice of the Zhentarim, who was using Sakatha to disrupt trade.
1333 – The Year of Shadows. The Knights meet the Lady of the Mists. They are then ambushed, and meet Stone of Damage Inc. This begins cooperation between the Knights and Damage Inc. The Knights become aware of cooperation between Zhentil Keep and some hill giants in the area. They also solve the mystery of the Lady of Mistmore, and enter into service for the Viceroy of Mistmore, which is how they adopt their name. They spend the rest of this year in war against giants, effectively stopping the plans of Zhentil Keep. This success sets back Zhentil Keep’s main operation by 5 years, and they never fully recover prior to the Banedeath.
1334 – The Year of the Serpent. The Knights of Mistmore disband, with some members joining Damage Inc.
