Watchers

The only major national knighthood represented in Keoland is the Watchers. The Knights of the Watch are most common in the northern quarters of the kingdom, as they are based in the Gran March and share many roots with the Neheli. Many can still be found in the service of the Throne of the Lion, or various independent nobles. Hugo of Geoff, related distantly to the nobility of Keoland, is the putative leader of the order. However, a branch of the Watchers known as the Malgari, or "Darkwatch", are found only in Keoland and are primarily active in the Duchy of Dorlin and the northern provinces. The Margrave of Mandismoor is believed to be a highly placed servant of the Darkwatch. In general, Watchers are concerned with the defense of the kingdom from external threats and influences, particularly the Baklunish, though the Knights of the Hart are considerable rivals as well.
