Knights of the Ages

If you want to have your knight added, leave a comment.

The knights serving in the lists below are all part of my memory of the Knighthood of Gareth. Some have added to her glory and others have detracted from it - but all have shaped it.

A-B

Acre St John

This quiet learned philosopher and clerist wrote,

more about our ethos and the enemy than evil smote.

If you seek his words of wisdom rare,

look within the books which lie in library here.

Acrolin Rezon

A fearsome warrior was a squire,

to Kusanami - a druid most dire.

Acthus Renetar

A noble paladin like those of days gone by,

has come to greet us in a younger guy,

in rising to General of the Lance,

as a fearsome paladin,

at least at first glance.

Married to Lady Renetar our spellcrafter,

and has worn a splendid set of gear thenceafter.

Much mirth did Thrakhath bring of Acthus,

when he compared him to a cactus.

Adrela

Jongleur

Aearin dePayens

One of the most gifted paladins to fight with the Keep,

he took to warring not against evil but in the arena.

After much success for sport,

he was slain contending for material Honor.

Aedon d’Aggravaine

Born to nobility of generals and ladies,

Lord d’Aggravaine did not disappoint his heritage.

Assisted Gareth humbly in diplomacy and battle,

to bring stability under his command.

Aelynn Llangedai

The eldest of the three Llangedai sisters,

gained the most in fame as well.

A confidant of Krysten Corwen,

who rose to General of the Shield.

Aenarion dePayens

One fine yesterday, this grizzled old knight you see knew youth,

Amazing as this should seem to any who care to behold him say 'forsooth'.

Those who recruited him could have been more impressed,

but gave him the chance to prove himself but did not regress.

After failing to prove himself as a skilful warrior,

he chose the spiritual path seeking the required advancement.

Faring better and serving as many squires,

he was given his heart's desires.

His career spans generalships of the Lance and Crown,

the Knighthood - he has never let it down.

It took him ages to fully train,

He swore he'd never do it again.

He'd say it took his two years to practice,

Me? I say four (and only with a dragon!) if I were tactless.

And though self-professed not as skilful with the blade as some,

he gave in service his other attributes as they may come.

Aequitas Mortalis

Keeping Serpantol’s secrets long forgot,

Honorable monk is a nexus away,

Constant pursuit of evil, hot,

You can count on him in the fray.

Aerahan Mamoritai

Eager to aid in every chore,

This gentle warrior of noble birth,

Gives his all and some more,

To prove to Nadrik of his worth.

Agapitos di Lucis

Joined us with honor, he has a heart of gold,

He seeks to serve as a knight of old,

This gentleman of words has a golden tongue,

And a golden eye from Nadrik he won,

Shining beloved of the Light,

He is one golden good knight.

Akasi Midnite

A bold Lieutenant of the Lance,

was a fearsome barbarian perchance,

to fight so well he'd gain paladin,

it was a deep calling he had within him.

Midnight blue by eyes and name,

as our first weaponscrafter he gained his fame.

Deep into the midnight hour protecting another he fell,

With our golden gods he does now dwell,

Earning song and memory well.

Alastair Snowmantle

On crusade for Austininan, this daring Lancer,

On glorious white steed, he’s quite the prancer,

A pair of charming companions, he and Ahearn,

But when that banner is raised, don’t be astern.

Alistain LaFortinas

This dark souled paladin,

Was not worthy of his station.

And his shameful behaviour,

Brought no grace to his vocation.

He fell from good into evil,

Blaming others for his downfall.

An antipaladin faded away,

and few remained to mourn him.

Allex Kyle

This young cleric was squired to Blik,

a nimble lad, sturdy and quick.

I can see from faded parchment,

he won the honor of a star

But I can not make out the colour,

in time long gone far.

Alonsus Faoul

A dramatic malcontent,

who rose to Colonel of the Shield,

Though stubbornly did stick it out,

to learn from his weaknesses.

Aladiah Lhazaran

This young warrior from days gone past,

probably has still not finished the squires task.

Amberle

A red headed woman from elder days,

earned her paladinhood.

She was a charm to have around the Keep,

next to all those holy souls.

Amargein Morna

A prolific paladin and warrior of Gareth,

Who ensured that the land was safe for decent people.

Slew many a fell dark enemy,

to skewer them on a steeple.

Andriana Raytbor

After much success as a cleric of Siccara,

she was granted her paladinhood.

A hot headed female plagued with ill discipline,

a fiery temper to match her hair.

Yet calculating skill on the battlefield,

with a special love for proving herself in duels.

Alas, her anger was not contained,

and she wandered for Siccara alone,

without succumbing to darkness.

Andrie Aaronson

A simple crusader of the shield,

To ensure to evil we never yield.

Anysse Renetar

Most of those within Gareth Keep,

wears something from this enchanter's heap.

Now she is spellcrafter most proficient,

a pivotal pin and completely self-sufficient.

Married to Acthus Renetar,

with two children (or-at-least-so-far).

Arcana

A knight who was as outspoken as he was active in his duty for Gareth,

he was one of the most prolific warriors the Keep has ever seen.

His idiom was such that he would refuse to skulk and hide as other warriors,

though if this was by nobility or forgetfulness was the scope of much

debate.

He caused great consternation for the powers-that-be in the olde guard,

and departed after much heated anger to the cold city of Nordmaar.

Artor Talgale

A poetic swashbuckler is our Sir Artor Talgale,

He’s something like a lucky nightingale,

Protecting bard and babe, and doing right,

He brings joy and hope to our endless fight!

Athyra Llangedai

This young lady from early our days,

caught this young bard’s gaze.

So long ago, I do not know what became,

though old as me now I do hope she’s the same.

One of threes sisters of the Llangedai,

Azheri Deza'th

A vast clan of a family who’s names familiar,

Often confusedly and unapologetically similar,

Thankfully also the same,

Their desire to serve goodness’ name,

From Althainia to Gareth this cunning skald,

Serves faithfully as clan and country has called.

Alas he never understood the Knightly Virtues well,

Unwilling to learn, he closed his eyes, to evil he fell.

Bannick Moraen

A powerful priest of Clan Wars fame,

He'll be back next year to do it again.

Bataille LaFortinas

A long time squire, unable to decide,

Whether to pray, sing or ride.

He overcame the Sins of his Father,

And while much scarred,

He won his spurs, at the battle of the Shard.

Benedicte

A malcontent and impatient youth,

kept to his ways and held himself aloof.

Pressing too soon for paladinhood,

before he earned one like most would.

Benthic Delphinus

A swashbuckling member of the shield,

two dashing swords did he wield.

When word came from high to remove his mask,

he argued strongly against so he was asked,

to consider his position alone as a task.

Weakness of resolve he lamented to Bloodlust's fold,

slaying good people for pleasure and bloody gold.

Berlewen Caswen

This Knight of the Shield has spent much time,

taking weapons and armour of Gareth and making them prime,

or blowing them to the ether if that was Nadrik's will,

Come back in some years, she'll be doing it still.

Beryl Vimas

This bard fought well considering,

When most bards fought they’d flee then sing.

Fell in love with Francisca thereafter,

was her willing partnered songmaster.

Bleys Snowmantle

Once a ranger sat in Austinian's church,

Lucent came down to him and ended his search.

They spoke at length and engaged in discourse,

He would come then to Gareth upon his white horse.

Who would have thought that this paladin,

once moved with discontent?

Now in his grown maturity,

To Althainia he went.

Upon his return to the Keep,

Grown in wisdom was he.

For now instead of pouting,

He gives flight to enemy.

Blik

A crusader of name quite an odd name,

you'd expect it on kender or some of the same.

But he held himself well both on and of the field,

and his crusader's charger came whene'er he was heeled.

Bracus Hasaner

This cleric was a knight of the shield,

a nasty knobbled mace he did wield.

Braedock Nainoire

An eager warrior on the field,

This dauntless armsman shall not yield.

Branzol Snowdragon

Acute senses this Lance druid quietly trail blazes,

Guiding knights safely through treacherous mazes.

Magical silver dragon blood flowing in human vein,

So he came to be a paladin, in Kantilles' name,

Grew discontent in discipline, honor and rules it seems,

He was cast out, believing ends justified the means.

Brasck

Page of Gareth, a warrior

Bolter Sha'fen

As High Clerist he would tell us quite a lot,

of what is right and what is not.

Twice served Shield's generalship,

to him it mattered quite a bit.

This bold cardinal he prays a lot,

for the rest of us who do not.

Alas the brave Cardinal did fall,

upon the recesses of the Icewall.

To win for Good the first Seanan's shard,

but Evil it was that tried most hard.

C-D

Caelana LaFortinas

Another red-headed warrioress,

earned her paladinhood.

Firm in spirit and mind,

she served with distinction.

Caedo Caedere

Assassin force from the Keep,

part of the Hand of Gareth.

Caenarfon Corwen

This warrior son of Pell and Krysten,

Named for a long dead grandfather.

Possessed his mothers swift decision,

And his fathers laid back herbal attitude.

Cairhien MacLeod

From the highlands, a crusading lance knight,

A particular uniform he does wear to smite,

The battle cry he does often blurt,

"Aets not ah bloodae skirt!"

Camlach Emrys

This Shieldic druid keeps on his toes,

he's got acute eyes, we need more of those.

Cerrius Nainoire

This warrior found his fighting spirit,

when he went paladin.

Evil men went screaming to hell,

because that's where he would drag 'em.

Cessa Vimas

This crusader was quite successful on the field.

Squired to Leumas, but rose to officership in the Lance.

Chretien de'Troyes

Steady and sure, our ready man at arms,

Tying up evil doers with whips and chains,

Somehow they don’t enjoy his charms,

As he stands triumphant over their remains.

The first to turn his hand at confession,

Now a force of Siccara's cleansing aggression.

Chelios

This fine crusader with pride often wore,

the medal that he gained from Raije’s clan war.

Many fights he took part in hence,

And beat the enemy against the fence.

Constentine Rymir

This noble crusader caused a slight stir,

As no one at all seemed to recall deed or name,

Now this bard writes of Sir Knight Rymir,

A good and noble heart of little fame.

Cymruspheran Corwen

The first Knight to practice the peculiar art of voodoo,

and would rather be a moose than anything else.

He was the hairiest Knight of the Lance,

In the fair history of Knighthood.

Daenarion dePayens

If Aenarion was to have a sidekick,

then this knight was to be it.

A clerist by training,

He moved to druidism.

Daerten Battenburg

Another Knight of the Forest,

Quiet, with a wry wit,

His deeds remain to be written.

Dagaryn D'lamorte

Barbarian, squire

Darmenian Snowmantle

A barbarian lieutenant

Daeryl Abbott

from Shadow's embrace returned from deep,

evil to see the way of light to good,

became a priest as one of the cloth should.

Danika Noelani

This mage who joined us came to sow,

and make our weapons better to go.

Squired to Marlene.

Darcey Greensleeves

A rare druid slipping about the keep,

Our ancient motto is all that she does peep.

Darion Doreath

Of the first historical Lord of the Crown,

there is so much conflicting evidence found,

He was slain over Althainia fighting white dragon,

in the early days of the dragon wars of their kin.

But equally perplexing things are to be found,

that Lord Darion won a contest - the first one around,

of the most charismatic man on Algoron,

(which is not strange because thats where he's from)

Note: Evidence shown in the book of prehistory suggests that this Lord of Knighthood led us into the Dragon Wars where he was slain. This is firmly set in the era of pre-history. However recent research has found that he won a popularity contest in the first month of what we know as our modern history, making him the first 'modern' Lord of Knighthood. Iolius.

Datai Amberillo

From Austinian's Church she wandered here,

brought to us by Ayanami Rei, her peer.

This cheerful bard found home,

Within our Gareth’s wall.

Till bold Sir Eyrk Lordan,

For whose heart she did fall.

Demest

One of our early druids of the 'hood,

who proved well as our eyes, like all druids should.

He took on so much to train everything he could,

so it took him a very long time as he thought that it would.

In spite of it all he retrained as a mage,

because as you know they are all the rage.

Democh

The only man to ever join Gareth’s Keep,

while not in good’s embrace did meet.

A true neutral was overlooked,

When he joined he was never booked.

A warrior turned ranger and washer-wishy,

yet part of Gareth’s earliest history.

And he was awful in the battle,

Then complained a lot with prattle.

Devan Li'Thin

This swashbuckler was well known for his double sabres of light,

serving as Weaponsmaster within the Lance.

Deykan

The first monk to enter Gareth Keep since the days of Serpantol.

Fought in the AGL to challenge for the title, but lost to Maxx.

Knight of the Lance.

Dhalia Gastille

Bold and impetuous woman at arms, eager to hack and slash,

Or entangle the enemy, stinging it with mighty whiplash.

Dionysis

This early magus of the Keep,

made his mark on the General well.

He once slept four Eclipsians,

and charmed them I can tell.

The Lord of Knighthood rode forth with his knights,

upon their sleeping forms they did come.

With Dionysis and his charming ways,

he slew them every one.

Amongst their number was their Lord Rokgar of Eclipse,

the most noble enemies Gareth has ever faced and come to grips.

For these four slayings Seal bestowed him with a Star of Valor.

and he with Gharakk both held three, a mighty useful fella.

Drakonn Garat

Emerged from under evil’s oppressive shadow,

This energetic pugilist sought honor’s path,

Eager and helpful, to us his heart he did bestow,

Now he undoes the wicked with musical wrath.

Dua Chronos

A magus of the enchanting kind,

Of that sort the Keep will never mind.

To make them the armor they shall wear,

and have access to more should it tear.

E-F

Ellery Actor

The happiest page alive

A Raije Tournament swashbuckler

Endrin Rathe

This bold ranger spent much of his time in the forest,

seeking out the enemy to run them faster.

He was promoted to Colonel of the Lance,

And spent much time as the Weaponsmaster.

Etain Cleary

She joined the Keep a young woman from the north,

and married General Aedon on her crusader’s horse.

She married the General d'Aggravaine,

in order to rhyme with her first name.

Etho Malory

Cleric

Erato La'Boher

Rose to Knight of the Lance before retiring.

Erlich Van’rasuer

This old paladin creaked,

even in days of yore.

Before Gareth’s fighting arms had their own uniform,

everyone wore today’s Crown uniform.

Erlich claimed to be a Crown knight,

There was suspicion as no one remembered him.

But the Lord Knight accepted his word saying,

"If I cannot trust my knights to speak the truth then I have nothing."

At any rate if he was not then,

then he certainly has proved himself old enough since.

Errick

This early warrior was given the quest to become a paladin,

before he could wed Seal’s foster daughter Kerowyn.

After much tribulation he passed the test,

And was given her fair hand upon to rest.

Elrand du Sandath

Paladin of the Lance.

Wore a cross, but I'm not sure which one.

Eugene

The first paladin to take the holy vows,

he opened a new chapter at Gareth.

Bringing with him the supremacy,

of our holy warrior to Algoron.

Alas! He was fair in battle true enough,

But as Sir Gunnar he ought to have,

learned more of the Paladin craft.

Ffion

A squire of the Keep and sorrier,

never made it past a warrior.

Francisca

Alas all of her I know, is she was Beryl Vimas' lady,

A bard, she sang songs, maybe!

Frazen Bruce

This warrior came from the Nordmaar,

To learn to become a holy warrior.

An understanding was reached that he would give service to Gareth,

for as long as the Lord of Knighthood required.

When his service was due,

He returned to Nordmaar with his rank and knowledge.

Frederyk de'Troyes

A squire who toiled as a skald for a time,

Given leave to Arkane; he did not care to rhyme,

For over a year, brother to the Lord Lance,

The armsman skills he did enhance,

Till finally he returned with much joy,

Wiser, skilled, a Knight – the real mccoy!

Fyahy'll Gunn

A bringer of hope, and cunning ranger,

Bright red hair with a spot of anger,

From the highlands she came to our halls,

Eager to serve, and brightening the walls,

Quite the son of a Gunn, but clearly a Dame,

With deadly sharp shooter arrow aim,

She is always one to take a gamble, and so,

The title of Shardearner she does now show!

G-H

Gadrien Struan

None could recall this knight of little fame,

Brother to the Lady Gwynn his only claim.

Galavant Keiyns

This bold paladin lead the Shield well,

and brought glory to her name.

Without such fine knights today,

we would not be the same.

Started his career as a barbarian.

Galaydon Ashnik

This knight spent much time in the clerics robe,

before seeking to learn much of Druid’s lore.

Garaint Majere

From Althainia and to Althainia returned,

Sent with a lesson to be hard learned:

To be full of fair words and promise is not enough,

A Knight keeps these vows when the going is tough.

Garamond Rannoch

A well trained Paladin-at-arms,

He’d send the evil running.

For they heard it was for them,

Sir Garamond was gunning.

Much evil breathes no more,

because of the action of this General.

For he would leave the enemies life,

Hanging from a tendril.

Garldaron Madaur

This young knight recently come forth,

bearing the name Elsdragon with due recourse.

With a swagger and enter the Keep,

step full of confidence and leap.

Born of Evora and Paleceron,

all high hopes for him now are gone.

In battle he has found,

a single spell sends him to ground.

With the Keep's ladies he takes after his father,

which Gareth's red-heads will rue forever after.

Brought to heel with discipline,

and stern sets of exiles there herein.

Garn Laener

A Baron from the lowlands,

he came to Knighthood.

Donating much of his personal estate to our order,

And bore the cost of many of the improvements you enjoy today.

Rising the General of the Shield quickly,

After low Shield membership required a mentor.

Garyn est Taruncyn

One of the original Paladins,

He preferred to fight alone.

After spending much time in the Lance,

He rose to Captain of the Crown.

Notes from Aenarion:

A teacher and a leader.

Gaudin Leoncourt

Skald from the northern lands serving as Nadrik’s herald,

Seeking his past and family ties, and the legacy they held.

Gharakk

Why does Gareth have so few barbarians?

Can you not be both barbaric and virtuous?

This man holds the Honor with only one other,

To have secures thrice the Star of Valor.

Odd happenings within the Keep,

when Lord Kuldan discovered a red-auraed streak.

His honors fell when he fled the hall,

then was removed - another to fall.

He joined the Malicians after that,

seduced by Gaar Volen’s trap.

Ghiselin Madaur

A Knight of the Lance, this began as a Paladin,

Then joined the crusading profession.

His full name Ghiselin D. Madaur,

he would only tell me that it stood for Danger.

Though as a Madaur you can never really tell,

If he was being serious or not.

A tough character in battle,

much missed after his departure.

Gideon Bane

A Lord of Knighthood from the dawn of our time,

After discovered of corruption and abuse of his power.

Was cast down by his officer corps,

and sent packing from the Keep.

Such shame for so elder,

a paladin, general and lord.

Giffin Breingiton

Father of a future General of the Shield,

this swashbuckler to other women appealed.

Spent a long time walking alone,

till entering Gareth he became well known.

Gradeaus Narfel

A crusader of our friendly Keep,

Know not by many you would meet.

His silent tongue he did now keep,

you would think he’d gone to sleep.

Gunnar Draugrbane

Immortalised for a single act of sacrifice,

when he stepped into the rift.

And his tale,

Lies in another chapter.

He rushed his training more than any other before,

So was quite unable to excel in battle.

And rather was the chief provider of holy weapons,

to the nefarious Eclipsians.

But not to sell him too far short,

He was a fine and noble man of words.

Gwaine d’Aggravaine

Before laws were yet ingrained on parchment,

a curious thief claimed nobility with Gareth.

After proving of worthy conduct,

he rose to General of the Shield.

Assassins were accepted to Gareth for the purposes of subterfuge,

the General offered himself in service to the Hand.

When the Museling entered the Keep,

this bold assassin had met his match.

Together they would make the next generation of general,

their son Aedon would rise to Lord of Knighthood.

Returned to the Keep after long absense,

to gain the honour of holy warrior,

and a place in the Crown fitting of his honour.

Gwynn Struan

The Lady Crown has led the Keep,

for most of our current lives.

She had the strength of character,

to make brave men tow the line.

This iron lady of the Keep,

outlasted many men.

And she has served most Honorably,

As those came before them.

Hadarian

This warrior from the Clan Wars,

squired to Victis for the score.

Hengst Pferdritter

This strange and rigid knight,

Came from a distant land.

But our values were the same,

So he gave Gareth a hand.

Gained his paladinhood for a long and noble service,

and put his skills to the service of the Lord.

Henrietta Rindald

This brave woman chose the path of armsman,

learning slowly all the skills as to help the clan,

She turned to druidism and the wood,

Literally, retired to mill as much as she could.

Hirken Madaur

The quiet one of the Madaur household,

fought well enough when he was asked to.

Left for a kingdom where he gave away the Lord’s blessing,

to unscrupulous characters and was punished by the Lord,

casting him down to fallen.

Honoria dePayens

This young lady is a poet and dancer and squire,

to Lady Arminus, missing in situation most dire,

she wrote a ballad about where she might have gone to,

It's in "Tales of Gareth" if you want something to do.

Hugh the Hand

This mysterious and shadowy character,

directed central intelligence reporting to chain of command.

A fierce fighter who could turn the tables of battle,

responsible for intelligence, subterfuge and reconnaissance.

For all the service he had given to us,

Austinian expelled him without much fuss.

When cast out of the keep for his profession,

bitterness was his obsession.

Hyran Madaur

Another of the Madaur clan,

Of warrior kind would lead the van.

I-J

Ihsan Madaur

Short is the list of Knights I could blindly trust at my back,

the tough and dependable knight Ihsan is on this list.

When he was not using his sword to talk,

commonly starting wars in the process.

A dark heart sowed his path whilst in altar room would sleep,

if anger gripped him upon his return he'd tornado those in the Keep.

His anger and hate got the better of him,

and he fell from grace.

He joined Storm Keep as an antipaladin,

And descended into a Shadowknight.

He is more dead than alive these days,

Fondly remember as the knight he was,

rather than the shell he became.

Ilana dePayens

A quiet, well mannered druid unless upon,

you should mention the name 'Garldaron'.

Ilusen LaFortinas

An early warlock who left without much fuss,

In Gareth Keeps first exodus.

Instead of returning to the light,

He gave up all which was right.

He turned instead to Storm Keep,

with Shadow Knight boots upon his feet.

Jaerod Ul’Varinn

A holy man of clerical ways,

squired to Pell and so joined the haze,

would most likely turn into a gardener too,

for those who squired to Pell that is what they would do.

Jerrand Breingiton

A priest of the lineage of Lord Seal,

He secured his deaconage with Nadrik.

When the gift of his uncle’s wife,

Was bestowed on him as well.

He led the Shield as the second Monk in its history,

Before leaving for the Tower of Conclave to further his study.

And aesthetic of the Serpents Eye,

he sought study within the white tower and then Althainia.

Jerud D'vanties

Swashbuckling knight of the Silver Shield.

Jhervais LaFortinas

The ever present (and sometimes not so) Lord of the Crown,

Worked tirelessly to further Gareth’s cause.

A fine if cautious warrior in battle,

He proved his worth often on the field.

But this wily old knight was once young and excited,

Those who recruited him were concerned.

But thought his energy would carry him – as it did,

and his career added to the glory of Gareth.

Many enemies and mistakes he did make,

But as he experienced life he improved with age.

To a Barony in Althainia did he retire to,

but since returned to complete unfinished business.

Notes from Aenarion:

One of Knighthood’s longest serving Generals; he will be remembered for being replaced from power because of his unwillingness to leave after it became clear he no longer had the drive

to continue. At times arrogant, Jhervais was a sublime politician and diplomat who had a sharp tongue and a quicksilver temper as well as being a ferocious warrior and one time Messenger of Nadrik.

Josephine Rannoch

A quiet druid in the company of one,

Salinor Moraen a romance long begun.

Sister to Garamond our paladin renown,

who used to lead the Shield but now in Crown.

Jyrin

A bold and skilful knight while he served at Gareth,

You would do well if he was covering your back.

One of the tri-Champions of Austinian,

The darkness would flee from the light of his blade.

Gareth's first Paladin to leave the Keep,

and took up instead with the sailors of Armada.

K-L

Kader Malory

A younger Malory who trained as an assassin.

They say that his shadow can still be spotted sometimes sneaking around Gareth Keep.

Kaitlenn Raithe

This bold young woman spent much time in active duty as a clerist,

Before earning her Paladinhood and eventually rising to General.

Kalado Ser'cye

The winner of our tournament,

brought yinn assassin despite evil's vent,

of frustration saw him torn from the keep,

returned as a cleric for Gareth to reap,

the benefits of cultural understanding in the 'hood.

He and Tegyr have been fine ambassadors of yinnae good.

Miller of our many dreadwood boards,

part of our crafting chain and one to hoard.

Sent back to Page without his craft,

for stealing money which was quite daft.

Footnote: See the 'History of Gareth' under 'The Book of Exodus'.

Katai

A quiet ranger whose deeds outstrip his words,

Had more weapons at his disposal than any other of Gareth’s rangers.

Used them to great effect,

In Raije’s tournament.

Kathbert

Kaurov Teza

This warrior long served,

as General of the Lance.

He gave it all for Raije's glory,

which made a good night bedtime story.

A long standing warrior spent,

final days in paladin contentment.

Katarina Von Zarovich

When this priestess joined the ranks,

For her enhanced recovery we all gave thanks.

Keleios Mandragoron

A quite druid, who learned his craft from Kusanami.

Kerowyn Breingiton

This lost girl was found,

wandering outside Gareth’s grounds.

Lord Seal took her inside to kin,

A youthful Errick hoped to win.

When Paladin he gained in style,

Seal walked her down the aisle.

Khalten

This early paladin aspired to lead Gareth more than once,

But after a second unsuccessful attempt settled for a Colonel of the Crown

Khsia Arminus

Many an hour spent with Mladen in the tower,

was not first husband for this flower,

but with Salinor Morean first began,

after breakdown joined with another man.

Illisionist of the Keep most skilled,

mistress of magic very strong willed.

Kiery Elistar

A quiet Lady of Knighthood,

The first we ever had.

She led by passive diplomacy,

rather than by an angry sword.

As days went on,

Her time in the Keep was less frequent.

So when the General of the Shield,

Krysten Corwen asked to lead,

she passed the mantle to her,

in the first act of its kind.

Kirina M’eir Canstalis

This princess of royal lineage,

Sir Seal’s squire and chaperonage.

Infatuation she would gain for him hence,

but this was well managed with her goodly sense.

Kloengr Neiurne

Swift scout, our Lance ranger,

Ever alert to evil's danger,

Nurturing a garden of colorful herb,

Poisoned bards think him superb.

Koina Hannish

One of the Keeps newer mages,

rather than one from the ages.

Brings her gifts of sleeps and charms,

While our knights strike singing psalms.

Now a witch of Justice making stakes from boards,

and brewing all sorts of delicious gourds.

Korivan Stark

From Icewall to Althainia to the Keep he came,

A simple cleric of Nadrik to spread honor’s name,

Resourceful at obtaining items for the quartermaster,

I don’t think I’ve ever seen more rings gathered faster.

Entered into brotherhood, with Sir Meroveus Greyhawk,

Now in paladin's shiny silver armors the ladies gawk.

Korval Majere

This knight came from Althainia to learn,

how to make poor evil burn.

Wed to the Empress Clarissa,

he went back because he missed her.

Korvar

A holy warrior has joined the ranks,

from the fighting arm of the lance.

Now calling his mighty Paladin's steeds,

to carry him to battle with horse's prance.

Krecks DeBarrin

After many years I come back and this page I know,

Trained and tried about every guild with little to show,

Has he plans to ever gain rank, by the Gods, no!

Kristine Malory

Another priestess who joined the ‘hood,

served there we, as she should.

Retiring to our Althainia,

Things never were the same-ier.

Krysten Corwen

The tough General of the Crown requested the post,

From serving Kiery Elistar.

A no-nonsense woman who surprised everyone,

with a relationship with the simple gardener Pell.

A proficient slayer of evil,

Evil men would take flight at her arrival.

Declared war wherever evil lay,

and it lay in many places in her eyes.

Made it a capital offence,

to sigh in the altar room.

Later left Gareth Keep with disgust,

at the inaction over the vampiric forest dwellers.

Kuldan Madaur

This bold red headed Paladin now tinged with gray,,

and one of it’s most influential actors in its history.

Stern and vocal patriarch of the Madaur way,

Proprietor of the Bouncing Bugbear mystery.

Taught many of the Keep’s teachers how to fight,

which has rippled out to every knight.

The only General ever to declare war,

On every clan he ever saw.

A Legendary Grandmaster Hunter,

can kill anything you might wonder.

Used his business interests to finance,

the Keep’s portals in advance.

So remember every time you travel,

Thank Lord Kuldan's philandering gavel.

Notes from Aenarion:

A two time Lance General and supremely strict Knight, disciplined and skilled to a fault. He ran the Lance as he lived his own life, with no time or compassion for evil. He will be noted for

bringing the clan into conflict with Valour when they refused to live up to his expectations.

Kuririn Haraldr

A dutiful page from the days of the restoration,

Kept records better than those above his station,

Thoughtful skald returned from a long sabbatical,

Now a knight destined to herald us he shall!

Kuromaru Shiroken

Harvest moon rising

Bearing hope for Goodness' cause

Spurs earned on Fourth Shard

Kusanami Shinomori

This quiet druid,

After a great many years of service.

Was put forward to become a paladin,

Where he now serves with distinction.

Wed to fair knight Evony,

why she took him baffles me.

Kylore Tygarst

Carrying proudly the hide of bear,

The spirits grant him sights, aware,

Wise owl keenly watching evil's door,

That is our spirit walker, Sir Kylore.

Lacey Rathe

This young cleric related to Endrin,

Squired to that same said brethren.

Turned to the shaman ways,

goring with moose horns raised.

Laegard Rolanche

Perhaps the most successful spell casting warrior ever,

To land maladictions along with normal spells.

From this paladin’s sword,

Enemies fell like from plague.

And when he had run out for enemies to slay,

He vanished, not to fight another day.

Colonel of the Lance, yet with his vanishing he would never lead it.

Laetan

A fierce crusader filled with zeal,

came to Gareth’s halls.

A Lance knight through and through,

He protected Althainia’s walls.

Laila Page

This red headed squire needed much saving from herself,

And many gentlemen around were quite willing.

Lanan Faan

Now this is quite a curious chap first named as Nook,

bouncing around the ranks not all by the book,

After being senior in the Lance,

he found quite the attitude perchance.

Perhaps this stance has quite ensured,

he remains a Lance Knight there ignored.

Self stylised himself as a most severe,

our implulsive "Colonel of Mental Warfare".

Lancelot du Lac

A strong armed paladin of the Lance,

Heard Knighthood’s call for the defence of Althainia.

When the goblin treachery was sprung,

he leapt to the walls in defence.

One of the few serving on the supposedly safe eastern wall,

He held the breach alone long enough for the relief to come.

Disappearing beneath the goblin stench,

his place was assured in the Chapel of Fallen Heros.

Lanelle Lamonde

A capable crusader whose reward was her paladinhood,

Possessed a loving soul and was the charisma about the Keep.

Devion seeing the chance for malice infiltrated her dreams,

alas! For dreams there is no defence.

Under his will she renounced her Lord and left Gareth in anger,

And when the Lord came to save her from herself she did fling her soul down.

A new antipaladin joined Storm Keep then as a Shadowknight,

But the greatest loss was the star which fell from the sky.

Lanskarr Ett

This barbarian from beyond the pale,

was squired to Saent and hard as nail.

Lepidus D'laine

An all-seeing ranger of the likes Gareth needs more,

when the enemy is hiding away most cannot explore.

Leonardo StJohn

Another early swashbuckler dashing,

would receive quite a thrashing,

being squired to Aenarion,

learned how to put many a horseshoe on.

Leslille Ainsley

Came from Althainia a mage and soldier,

Swashbuckled her way to be a Knight bolder.

Levin Lachance

Most fierce paladin of his day,

Where he rose to a Knight of the Crown.

Departed the Keep for the mysterious disciples of Sarsen,

where the out worldly stone circles lie.

Slew dragons that much I recall,

but I remember not their names that fell.

Leumas Circe

This central knight in the Keep dwelled,

and title for most Generals held.

One of the few who have lead all arms of Knighthood,

and some more than once

Destined for sainthood.

In his younger days he was one of the more active Generals of the Lance,

but has taken up any position that Gareth has demanded from him.

A noble knight who was instrumental,

in the formation of the codes of Knighthood.

Notes from Aenarion:

Leumas was a long time champion of Austinian and a tireless worker for Knighthood. He started life as a teacher before donning armour and joining Knighthood to crusade for his God. He was another Lord Knight that managed to retain his sense of humour whilst surrounded by the blood of his enemies. Well known for his courage in slaying several dragons as well as having worked hard as all three Generals at one time or another.

Lock'nah Kalamegar

This fighting General of the Lance,

always lead the first advance.

When he joined the Paladin's ranks,

he gave the enemy even less thanks.

Luscher Trud

One of the most immediately useful inhabitants,

Knighthood’s Keep has ever had.

Whether spells or enchantments were required,

round-the-sundial service from Page blue clad.

Lyneth Calvert

This sister to Marlene the Mage,

And red-headed and angry in other ways.

She mastered her brooding - before a malcontent,

to win herself a paladin predicament.

M-N

Maelweys Malory

A Malory of dubious fighting quality and distinction,

Though pretty enough of word.

Of somehow Paladin and General he did make,

another of the Malory herd.

Makiro Tenryu

Giggles hidden in silken sleeves,

With her illusions a Cheshire smile is all the eye sees.

Maugli Torber

A warrior squire to Kathbert

Meroveus Greyhawk

A gallant older and wise mage,

Did not wish to quietly age,

To serve Kantilles as a Knight,

To learn, defend, and do right,

Now cased in paladin steel,

Wisdom which is Kantilles' appeal.

Mladen Arminus

This traveller came to Gareth as a monk,

from Arkane with ladies love to funk.

But Lady Khsia caught his eye,

not again from ladies would be pry.

The keep's first spellcrafting pin,

instrumental to Clan Wars X win.

Joined the wing then of the Shield,

bringing the paladin's arms to wield.

Left the walls of Gareth for,

a quieter life to the one he saw.

In final combat slew Reklah Kayen,

striking fear to evil's vein.

Malinco Snowmantle

A dashing swashbuckler for Knighthood,

a page looking for honor as all of them should.

Had the insignia of 'KOL' on his hose,

What that stood for nobody knows.

But considering his fighting stance,

it might have meant "Knight of the Lance".

Marlene Calvert

General of the Lance and famous for,

Sleeping and charming her assistance to Gareth’s warriors.

Like his sister Lyneth was known for dark brooding,

But persevered when times were hard.

Notes from Aenarion:

A capable Knight that knew how best to utilise her skills to help out Knighthood. Was perhaps not a strong enough personality for Lance General and this was reflected in the brevity of her service.

Mathise d’Aggravaine

Another d’Aggravaine for General of the Shield,

is a story we have all heard before.

I think they have a record,

ever since Malice declared war.

as Messenger of Siccara he was ordained,

and evil and darkness he ever-maimed.

Maukiel Madaur

Another typical Madaur Lance knight,

Thought only with his sword.

Though to be fair,

He sometimes thought with his anger.

Which he translated,

to his bloody sword.

He earned his paladin in the early days,

For the zeal in which he brought to Gareth.

There is none that I have seen,

Who earned the title of Berserker better.

Mercadior Bainbridge

Enchantor.

Mercerion Mamoritai

A knight reknown of a new breed,

Faith in Honor, this man's creed

Nadrik’s favour did he bear,

Paladin's mantle he did wear.

A vile threat, a warring band,

Forced this young General's hand.

He left the keep in Holy Fervor,

Devion's Hand he sought to sever.

The people then, he so inspired,

To become Emperor, of him required.

When his reign was done at last,

His return to Gareth would come fast.

Through shouts and swords and cries,

He returned to Gareth, a Samurai.

Michael deBonair

On the spirits’ ever winding path of life,

Their wisdom a stream this knight doth drink,

‘er he goes, soulsight to see through the strife,

Painted Shield not so strange as you think.

Mogul

The only Knight to be granted Paladinhood before his full potential,

the granting of which caused the downfall of Gideon Bane from his leadership.

One fair recollection I have of him was the slaying of the evil Invoker Elisabeth,

Whilst far from fully trained, he came upon her without protection and slew her.

Moonwind

A Warlock of the Keep,

Many a ribbit he did croak,

As he concocted his gourds.

When his kind were sought no more,

A home in Valor, then Justice he called his own.

For his frogging exploits you may see,

Myths, Tales and Legends on page three.

Muse d’Aggravaine

The Museling first caught my eye participating in the Raije's first bracket,

with the squire Paleceron first blinded,

then slew the rest of the arena's combatants.

Victory looked upon them in the face whilst they were both sorely hurt,

till those whom had been hiding all the while dispatched them to take the honors.

Co-incidentally after an episode with that same squire,

Nadrik put a curse on him for womankind.

After mastering Sir Gwaine,

their son would lead Gareth.

Murion Grandon

This warrior was the Monk’s squire,

who slew evil for the funeral pyre.

Musashi

This young man would drive anyone crazy,

even the Goddess Taliena with all her peace daisies.

Myrielle

This red-headed paladin,

spoke softly of her Goddess.

Served love wherever she went,

but never found it herself.

Naemor

Bard type

Nyree Martell

Scriber and artist to the library's books,

nose deep in every one drew curious looks.

Worked heart and soul to see the job through,

just as you'd expect every knight to do.

Austinian's deacon had by-and-by,

The shield maiden caught a General's eye,

O-P

Othlo the Cautious

Knighthood's cautious enchanter,

was more of a warrior lancer.

Took to fighting in the halls,

with his enigmatic rescuing balls.

Paleceron Madaur

A curiously enigmatic Paladin cursed by Nadrik for advances unbecoming,

was shocked by holiness forever more when considering impure thoughts.

Bearing the title ‘the Chaste’ he somehow managed to bear a son,

named Garldaron and recently found, born of Evora Elsdragon

Bore the renown charisma of ancient heroes,

though many red-heads would contest that.

His sharp zaps of holiness built to explosions should his lust pent up,

and much masonry in the Keep required repair upon his combustion.

The grander the explosion the longer it would take for his soul,

to reform in the ether and return to service.

He fraternised with characters unbecoming to Gareth,

particularly the more inebriated dwarves and red-headed lasses.

Finished his service as Captain of the Crown,

after serving much time in the Madaur-ridden Lance.

Was slain by the Yinnae of Serpantol,

whilst on patrol near Pan-toll.

Brought back to the Keep mortally wounded,

Some say he walked into Jornhya’s altar of Austinian.

Pail’dar Karnwield

As far as this barbarian knows,

One who sees hiding enemies goes.

Knighthood has always been far short,

Of people with good eyes in court.

Married to Paulette breifly but ended in woes,

Quite what happened nobody knows.

Paulette Augustus

Fiery red headed with an anger to match,

men sent fleeing away by the batch.

Knight of the Shield a bold crusader,

Impetuous as a hot potata'

Pell the Gardener

This simple gardener is one of the oldest that these stone walls remember,

and one of the oddest to have graced the corridors as well.

An unlikely match with the aggressive Krysten Corwen,

He was forever being rescued by her to complete the role reversal.

Much loved for his other attributes though,

he made his famous herb soup for those knights in recovery.

He spent much time trying to entangle his enemies in combat,

but I only got to see him successfully achieve it once.

Perion Lyon

A infamous paladin of the Lance,

Boldly thrusting into darkness he would ride,

Always sure to check inn rooms perchance,

To make sure no naughty felar hide.

Perrigew

The Master of the White Tower,

Joined the Knighthood cause.

Causing much consternation,

Within the Conclave’s walls.

Pierce

This simple page thought it to hard,

to train in the Keep as a bard.

If he’d waited and conscience held,

he’d now be fighting as a Skald.

Piergeron Corwen

The figure of the General of the Lance cut a fine figure,

A paladin who knew every stratagem and turn of combat.

A fine friend who would drop everything to come to your rescue,

With not even a sanctuary to protect him from darkness.

Organiser of early clan wars,

where fame and glory was won.

Notes from Aenarion:

Another of the no nonsense Lance leaders, Piergeron did not spend much time speaking with the lower ranks, preferring to set his example in combat.

Presten dePayens

This warrior earned his paladinhood,

Under his uncle’s watchful gaze.

A known troublemaker,

He was able to stay the straight and narrow.

To the city of Althainia he did return,

Where he is seldom seen these days.

Priere du Poulettes

Good natured priest of Nadrik’s way,

Though his family name was rather fowl,

This did not reflect upon him at all,

And his resolve did never sway.

R-S

Raimbaut Reinhart

Crusader of Austinian on an Akhal-Teke,

A General and Sheikh of New Thalos was he,

Then a Rip in the Sky opened on his fair land,

So to Knighthood he came to lend a hand,

On a crusade to save New Thalos and the world!

Watch out evil as he rides with his banner unfurled!

-N Fri May 20 18:23:52 2022

Ramias Thurazindall

A wizard with a past checkered black and white,

Came forth to Gareth to champion magicks right,

White robes of a mage of Kantilles finally shed,

Magical metamorphosis to priestly robes instead.

Randulf Geilson

A flipping jongleur is not often seen,

In Gareth’s walls and on our team.

Flips all about and songs to boot,

playing from the acrobat’s lute.

Now a fearsome priest of Justice hoarde,

fight with him you'll never be bored.

Raphaele del Cid

When it comes to rescues, he's no turtle,

Quick like ninja, overcoming any hurdle,

Swiftly putting evil to the sword,

Eager to aid, honorable Knight of the Lord.

Rassilon Shiroken

From Shokono where serpentine dragons flew,

Swordsman seeking wisdom and grace to wield,

Bearing a sword named Sonzoku,

Slicing ignorance as a Guardian of the Shield.

Reginoldo Arminus

A round about path led this warrior to the Keep,

Curious to learn of the Knightly ways,

Name similar to the skill of arms he displays,

With which evil he does reap.

Always had some trouble with anger management,

He left for the Wrath after paying his rent.

Regus Draven

A lost gypsy wanderer of wagon green,

Meandered into Talon to serve the dragon race,

Into his heart the angel Milek had seen,

Now a Knight and Priest of Nadrik in his right place.

Remoin Benoit

Simple and humble service of this fine crusader,

With his like in the ranks, we’ll never waver.

Ressiris

A warrior of some reknown,

Fought well seeking the Crown.

Rheivan Madaur

This dark souled Paladin,

Held out from his Uncle Ihsan’s dark barrage.

To remain a paladin of Nadrik,

and Captain of the Lance.

Alas! He stands with us no more,

falling in battle to the horde.

Rheidyr Glain

As Seal sought to find an heir,

He found two knights for consideration.

This knight was made General of the Shield,

And Xybian considered General of the Lance.

Wisdom won over Strength and Passion,

and he served the Keep with great skill and care.

Notes from Aenarion:

History will say that Rheidyr was not a successful General. Personally I think it was because he had the misfortune to serve directly after Seal. He could not replace the retired General

and was not much welcomed because of it. Presided over the vampires in Shalonesti debacle and was unable to prevent the Keep almost tearing itself in two over the matter. His tenure also reportedly led to Ihsan’s departure and eventual downfall.

The trials and turmoil of Rheidyr Glain truly belong,

Remembered in long and sorrowful bardic song.

Rithor Thorne

Another swashbuckler for the bandwagon,

issues of masking and fighting of dragon.

As lance officer gave up the mask and drink,

And now in shiny paladin's armor he does clink,

Much to every fair damsel, dame and maiden's woe,

Few Lance Generals so kindly have I the pleasure to know.

Roupert Blaine

Sound of mind and steady as our walls,

This Knight brings mental magic to our halls,

Whatever he puts his mind to, he’ll achieve,

Making dreams come true, I believe!

Rylie Miredon

Quiet horsewoman of Nadrik's blessed crusade,

Proud Rylie Miredon, Dame of the Shield,

Many a busy patrol with Colonel Rithor she made,

Till to the paladin, her heart did yield.

Sacheverell uth Aquitaine

This knight is a magus from another land,

his random vowels make him hard to understand.

Still quite earnest in our holy quest,

He now carefully conducts Siccara's Inquest.

Saent

Of this knight I know nothing more,

Not arm he fought or clothes he wore.

Salinor Moraen

A humble priest of healing,

This excitable knight writes his worth,

One of the youngest Colonel’s of the Shield.

This combat priest is well known to his men,

As both the High Clerist,

And the "Bloodthirsty Priest".

Sante Benaducci

The Bardess of Lore served long in Knighthood.

She was removed from Gareth during the Exodus,

and found a home in Armada.

Sardun

Sarriah D'Laine

This young lady fought first as a warrior,

Then earned her paladinhood.

A gentle mind and a strong arm,

Put her in the Lance.

Seal Breingiton

The first of the Breingitons to come from Deep Water on Icewall,

he came as a simple clerist to set forth to the world to prove himself.

A champion of virtue and reform,

He brought the seeds of a renaissance.

Whilst fleeing to the forest he met with one Pythia Shalonost,

Who assisted in his evasion from Eclipsians while sorely hurt.

A prolonged courtship ended with marriage,

But love between elf and man always ends in tragedy.

Was slain by the Yinnae of Serpantol,

whilst on patrol near Pan-toll.

Passed away surrounded by those,

who loved him.

Leaving his wife to her journey alone,

To the long years she knew were coming

Notes from Aenarion:

A knight’s Knight. He was courageous, courteous and polite to a fault. He enjoyed a good laugh and was much loved by his Knights. Presided over Knighthood during some of its most

rough and ready days, with most of House Madaur present but managed to keep the clan focused on doing the right thing. To me, when I was a young Page and Squire, Seal,

with Lancelot and Gunnar were my main inspirations. Everyone knew and recognised his unique greeting, Ave, and his courtly manner of speaking. To my mind, there has not been a knight since, who displayed the virtues the way Seal did, and it is in no way surprising that Knighthood’s medal for Valouris named after him.

This Lord of Knighthood stands tall though he has aged noticeably from his younger days of vigorous evil pursuit. He wears his full battle armour proudly, covered in a mantle of red

and white, the sign of the Knights Templar. He has a grave demeanour and a proud, bushy moustache. A ring of polished Vallenwood sits on his finger.

Sehvelarious Iolius

Ah what to write about,

when you write about yourself.

When singing others praises,

wherein yourself to delve?

I am now a creaky old man walking,

singing, speaking and lots of talking.

All the lore of olde Knighthood,

Of what was great and what was good.

I'll eagerly tell you stories any one,

rambles so long you'd wish I'd not begun.

A great medium with spirits,

if I'm lucky I call them forth.

all with the aid of my crystal ball,

They'll tell their stories in due course.

Sesshoumaru Tenryou

The fierce General of the Lance,

never gave the enemy much chance.

When Lady Crown needed a rest,

he stepped in with Gareth's best.

Instrumental part in Raije's tournament,

he never left his opponent sentient.

Sho’Gal

This warrior of the Lance,

Made lieutenant as his advance.

Shougo Firesteel

This noble dwarf is not often saw,

unless there be a clan war.

Sien Finn

This bold warrior spent much time earning his paladinhood,

and considered it long worth the wait.

Siegfrieda Pferdritter

Younger sister of Hengst,

they spent much time together.

I think it was to protect her,

From gentlemen wished to bed her.

Steel Talon

A Shield general from our early history,

retired soon after, though why? A mystery.

Took to wearing the title ‘Lord of the Rose’,

Now captured here in my poor prose.

Brother of the Lord Knight,

A skilled paladin in a fight,

Ever faithful and wise Shield General,

In the middle of the occult and metaphysical,

Interesting happenings would often surround,

He rose in calibre to Captain of the Crown.

Strandwick Ly'sorin

A cleric of Nadrik,

was squired to Druid Demest,

he has not been seen for some time,

so there is much action he's missed.

Sulfan

Swain Malker

Brother to Treon the crusader,

this warrior was a fearsome raider,

of evil people to serve them justice,

those who tried to hit him would often miss.

Swanshie

This bold swashbuckler would,

run out and fight for the Knighthood.

Squired to Aenarion hence,

so beaten down for that offence.

T-V

but this page sang much in the hall.

Tanthos Madgar

This wily assassin, a squire to Hugh,

Was part of Hugh’s Hand which nobody knew.

Taxiss Townsend

Served years ago at Lord Victis’ hand,

Then went traveling about the land,

This cheerful and helpful buckler of swash,

Gathered up orange and green roots to squash,

Making him a favorite squire of this bard,

Go ahead, ask him for a favor, no task too hard!

Tegyr Vey

You can read all about him - just,

turn to "History of Gareth - Book of Exodus".

He even has a song you can find - by the way,

turn to "Tales of Gareth - Ballad of Tegyr Vey".

Tessius Bloodwinter

A Page and Warrior.

Texter

He used his clerical skills to great effect,

slaying much evil upon to reflect.

After much service as a cleric should,

He gained his Paladinhood.

Thasgerd O'Shannahan

A giant of a knight that been long in service,

Slays up evil while eating an order of fried rice,

Became the big boss,

Alot of trash he toss,

He serious about how paladin and knight be good,

He pretty picky about us doin' as we should,

No one can understand what he say,

But we love the big guy anyway.

-N Fri May 20 17:53:52 2022

Thellas Ahalden

A swashbuckler with the skill of dropkick,

whilst delivering damage to the enemy O so sick.

Thrakhath

The Sentinel no longer carries his name,

From the Wrath of Justice he came.

The Sentinel of Austinian known as a force for good,

charges down its enemies like every good knight should.

The barriers to yinnae to enter the ranks against tradition,

but for Thrakhath that is overcome by recognition.

It seems that yinnae in Knighthood are here to stay,

In terms of virtue and morality it ought to be that way.

Trellor Almstead

Back in the days of the Rise (if you careth

See the works on History of Gareth)

This General crusaded with the Lance,

And the honour of the 'hood he did enhance.

So great his deeds for this bard he'd done,

The honor of song his memory has won.

Toryn Madaur

Another of the Madaur clan,

Always racing into battle without a second thought.

Thought with his sword rather than his head,

which made him perfect Lance material.

Treon Malker

A first rate clerist with wide appeal,

took his crusaders spurs upon the field.

Best known for always a lance in hand,

and his horse's prancing was very grand.

Tristrim Sanctimillus

A this squire and scribe captured the events,

when the Trinity blessed Lord d'Aggravaine hence.

Tuvok

This quiet assassin would before exodus leave on his own,

to join the mysterious Disciple of Sarsen's stones.

Known for wielding blades of pure coloured light,

he sent evil running from the honourable fight.

Tyrcell Elaroth

This knight wrote prolific to answer the question,

how a warrior ought to fight each class profession.

His piece also written on how to be a knight,

in "Rules of Engagement" ought to excite.

Valdaris Artaeus

Quintessential crusader for Nadrik,

Polite, solid, how could we complain?

With such an army we'll rescue Him quick,

Thanks to the cavalry we'll claim.

So we found his service noble and good,

He now rides as a paladin should.

Vander Holyfield

Gwaine’s squire sacrificed himself thus,

To slay the first dragon Qevarris.

Vanuarl daPayens

A priest regular for Raije's Tournament

Varner PferdRitter

PferdeHeim's devout second son,

A steady prize that our Knighthood won,

This battle cleric Knighted to the Lance,

To the Shield to give paladinship a chance,

As High Clerist in the Shield he excelled,

Till in the Crown where he finally dwelled,

Such dignity as High Justice did he display,

But did the court understand what he would say?

Victis Malory Arbiter

After several lesser Malorys,

Victis emboldened the name.

And set it into Gareths,

Nobility again.

Serves the Lance well with his new command,

Striking fear into evil with his mighty arm.

After many years, he left the Keep without a word,

Now is sometimes seen running with the Wrath's herd.

W-Z

Westry Roberts

Roaming swashbuckler at heart, but wherever he sails,

You can be sure that Honor prevails.

Xybian Llangedai-Madaur

A hot-headed ill-tempered young man,

but was one helluva fighter.

Always looking for a fight, and rarely as trained as his enemies,

though often shone through with surprising results.

Showed the passion of Aelynn Llangedai,

and the fury of Toryn Madaur.

Ever the Lance Knight, he rose to General of the Lance,

but proved lacking in maturity for greater purpose.

Angry with his potential reached he fled for Shadow as a fallen paladin,

before attempting his conversion to Shadowknight.

Yosho Kinamoto

Warrior Knight of the Shield

Zanco Malory

The first of the line of Malory,

and the most deserving of nobility for that name.

Sought for an age,

to be a Battlemage.

Now the magic has been secured,

but Zanco has long since departed.

Ziander Raneoth

A squire to Sir dePayens,

Holding his crusader’s reins.

Of which dePayens no one can remember,

For this mounted ‘Z’ clan member
