6385 The Knights of the North DBHAShadow The order began in the north, near the town of , back before it was rebuild, back before it was razed to the grnd by the fl Undead. There began a noble order of Knights, guardians of the north, protectors of the people from monsters and men o wld wish harm upon others. It was a simple time before the undead, men and women of the north wld come to the knights with request for against warring nations or factions. At the time man wld face only man, or beast, or monster. Then, they arrived , beasts most fld and horrid, the undead scrge rose like a plague and quickly spread thrgh the northern lands. They ere in turn followed by those o wld convert and begin to praise the dreaded Iblees. The Knights of the North back then, mostly t of pride only allowed the most educated people to join their order, the only other way in, other than a rather tstanding life of school and training was to be simply born into the order. Due to their exclusive membership, althgh each possessing great skill, they lacked the numbers to even try and compete with the Undead horde that set upon Winterfell. Having been driven t of their home in the north, at few remaining members settled down where they cld, some like Khnum and Casamir tried their hand at farming. :: Settling down in the east, near Wrath's clutch, Casamir and khnum took to the hard life of farming. Trying to live off the land, they got by as best they cld, making the odd minas here and there. One day everything changed, thugs, minions of Wrath fnd them in the nearby cntryside just off of king's road at their home, they demanded minas or life. Giving all the minas they had earned to these men made the two realize they cldn't escape the undead, not even this far from winterfell. With a new purpose and cause, the two began to organize and plan, Casamir rallied the local militias and even the knights of oren into the first assult on the clutch that Casamir wld be a part of. After beating the undead and forcing the clutch to be silent for a while, Khnum and Casamir scted the area for a suitable place. Coming across an old walled off mine entrance they knew they had fnd the right place. They quickly worked in cover of night and cleared the land arnd this mining tpost, they then erected walls further t, and removed the old walls. keeping the mine entrance and repurposing the facilities that lay beneath the surface the keep of the new Knights of the North was born to challenge wrath. :: With a new keep to call home, and a sense of reawakened purpose, Casamir brght Sir Thurgo into the fray, as an old friend he summoned the Dwarven blacksmith to his aid. The first of the recruits to arrive, and remain was Bob, followed by Augor, then Uhtred then Animeius, then Rigrud, then Bonks, and many more. As the Ranks swelled so did the number of Knights within the new order, the first to be knighted was Augor, followed very closely by Uhtred, Thurgo himself became a Knight. However before all this, Casamir wld lead three more raids upon the Clutch, with the aid of Oren knights yet again. Finally the Wardens, and the Dwarven guard set up near the Clutch, and together their combined might overwhelmed the foul keep and drove them out. :: Since then things have been relativly peaceful, more recruits join the order daily, and the order's numbers grow and expand, men climb ranks and aspire for greatness. That concludes the order's history from past to present, what tales of glory will you inspire ?
