The Paladins of Kib (Dragonknights)

Citadel of the Forest

Motto: We do not look away

The Dragonknights are one of the oldest orders of paladins in the kingdom of Thand. The Dragonknights were founded contemporaneously with the paladins of Manadi, known as the Dawnbringers. The foundation of all the paladin orders dates from a time before the Silence (when the Gods did not answer prayers directly).

The paladins of Kib devote themselves to preserving the good things in life. This means killing evil monsters that threaten the good humanoid races of Thand, killing evil humanoids that threaten good natural creatures and above all fighting demons and undead who invade Paegana. Their more civilized enemies include; worshippers of Mung, Moil and Sish; warlocks, sorcerers and necromancers that follow the dark arts; evil pirates.

There are five Citadels run by the Paladins of Kib:

• The Citadel of the Forest

  • Lies in the far northeastern tip of the southlands, about 100 miles from the Kingdom of Thand

  • Founded in 614 (26 years ago) by Sir Leonel Kingsrood

• The Citadel of the Western Wastes

  • Inside the border of Thand at the edge of the Dunes

  • The oldest of the citadels, founded in 280 by Lord Graeme Diulid

• The Argent Tower of the Sapphire Sanctuary

  • One of the many fortresses found at the Sanctuary

  • Founded year 400 by Queen Relia after the the Dragonknights defeated the demi-lich Juugraa’t and his forces at great cost.

• The Jungle Watchward

  • Lies at the very southern tip of the Kingdom of Thand

  • Founded year 388 after the first fiendish lizardman invasion

• The Lionsward Reach

  • Situated ½ days ride into the Lionsward forest

  • Founded secretly in 545 as a refuge against the persecutions carried out by the warlock-king Agnessios

You were adopted by Sir Thaddius Waelgar after a raid into the edge of the Great Forest resulted in the near-total destruction of your tribe. Sir Thaddius is a younger son of the inland Waelgars; joining one of the orders was expected of him since birth. Being from a powerful noble family, Sir Thaddius is a bit more concerned with the day-to-day goings on in the kingdom than most of the Paladins in the Citadel.
