Rebirth of the Order of the Knights of the Road

Sometime around the year 67 AR, an order once thought dead and forgotten was reborn. The Knights of the Road was an old order of men and women, long thought forgotten. Its last members had scattered into all but legend. With dissatisfaction for the political and social landscape of the isle, two men set out to restore the order, and bring back the Knights.

Ubaldo Ferraz and Nelehien of Impiltur sought to restore the order. Alongside them was Marceline Diamanti, and betwixt the three figures did they successfully manage to rebirth the Order of the Knights of the Road, oft simply called ‘the Knights’. Throughout the years, did they manage to keep track of the isle’s shrines and historical landmarks, and their adventures took them far and wide.

The Knights always maintained the ideology that they were keepers of the peace, not soldiers of war, and they would not involve themselves in political bureaucracy of any land, but ensure the free and good folk of the isle were protected. The Knights came to find themselves in many conflicts, often coming to the aid of others in times of need. They participated in the many actions at slave rescues from the Underdark; they fought, bled and died during the Second Mistican War; and most recently, they gave everything they could in the War of the North.

Notable members of the Second Order include: Ser Nelehein of Impiltur, the late Ser Ubaldo Ferraz, Ser Lysander of Cormanthor, Dame Seraphina Corriander, Dame Marceline Diamanti, and Ser Verankht Zarunkumar. Those not yet knighted- but come to pass- Squire Justin of Archwood, Squire Ermon Finox, Squire Valendria Lyonsbannor, and Squire Alexander Teage.

The Knights continue to operate to this day, and under the guidance of Nelehein of Impiltur, their unofficial leader, it might be some time before they fade once more into legend and song.
