The Knights Invictus

The Knights Invictus are an independent order of knights residing in Higher Rozova.

Their oath and purpose is to protect the weak and defenseless, to give succor to the widows and orphans, to live by honor and for glory, to despise pecuniary reward, to fight for the welfare of the innocent, to obey all who serve justice, to enforce the integrity and truth of their fellow knights, to renounce injustice, malice, deceit, lust, pride, greed and envy, at all times to speak the truth, to persevere to the end in any just and right enterprise begun, never to turn their back upon evildoers, and to annihilate all forces of evil, chaos, oppression, and injustice within the realm of Yäalheim.

Admission Policy
In order to join the order of The Knights Invictus, one must prove themselves to be just, by passing multiple tests of judgement, as well as be able to hold out in a duel for more than 30 seconds against the current leader of the knights.

Strength
The Knights Invictus, an unaligned order, works for neither the Alliance of Nations nor any country or king, but instead act as a hammer of justice, patrolling the lands of Rozova, Zinia, Asherall, the UVT, and occasionally Apophis. They have multiple divisions, almost constantly split, though in dire times when they unite, they are said to have to the strength of over 10 Zinian battalions. They are composed of around 150 knights, 400 squires, 5,000 infantry, as well as a number of dragons and other dangerous megafauna. While the Order of the Roc is known for its well trained infantry, the Knights Invictus are known for their incredibly powerful magic-using knights, each supposedly equal in power to three knights from the Order of the Roc.

Base of Operations
The Knights Invictus are based primarily near the city of Yarrowsburg, within the fortress of Blackpyre, underneath the slopes of Mt. Ednorog. The fortress is one of the most massive structures in all of Yäalheim, and its charred and melted stone walls are a legacy of the last eruption of Ednorog.
