The Old Order of the Knights of the Road

Founded in the 2nd decade of Arelith Reckoning, the Knights of the Road were a group of dedicated and solemn individuals sworn to uphold peace amongst the roads and the protection of all the shrines upon them.

Their original leader was Ser Dafydd Silvertongue, a paladin who resided in Light Keep. The Old Order of the Knights of the Road was founded there, within the Keep. This explains their crest, that’s still used today: a gold dragon on a field of blue. The gold dragon coincides with the myth of Benwick: a great golden wyrm rests beneath the white stone.

Known original members include Mathand Hull, Dragrin Fris and Beregorn. We know that the Old Order last for approximately a decade, ending during the mid-3rd decade AR. The Old Order of the Knights of the Road fell into shadow, with lingering members walking here and there, after the disappearance of the leader Ser Dafydd Silvertongue.

Magi and casters who were members of the Old Order, were known as “Masters of the Road”; a tradition that has not transcended the half-century before the Rebirth of the Knights of the Road.
