The Red Knight

The Lady of Strategy

Calm and logical in demeanor, the Red Knight displays a great wealth of compassion. She oversees war, but the strategy in it. She dislikes flighty behavior and looks unfavorably upon those who switch alliances often or capriciously. She is said to have taught the first armies strategy and tactics, giving rule and order to the battlefield to oppose the chaos of it. She opposes Tempest whose chaos and rebellion are anathema to her and, instead, her steadfast and dutiful beliefs have forged many trusted advisors and military officers. A number of monks and paladins follow the Red Knight’s teachings.

She is most often depicted as a tall woman clad in crimson armor, often with a white or black steed.
