The Order of the Shield

Members of The Shield roam the land as self proclaimed arbiters of justice. Named after The Shield of Basin, those heroes who delved deep into the silver isles, Shields pride themselves in being heroes who search out evil and attempt to bring it to justice. In the beginning, perhaps, they had good intentions. Two hundred years later however, Shields are looked upon with suspicion at best and open hostility at worst. The order is spread thin. Many call themselves Shields but simply do as they please, meting out their own form of “justice” wherever they see fit.

There are still a few however who stick to the old beliefs and follow in the footsteps of those who came before. Shields only take their helmets off in the presence of one they can trust completely, or when they are alone. Though many other traditions have fallen by the wayside, this is one of the few that remain.

Tenets of the Order of the Shield

We work for a world in balance.
We do not forsake the actions of today for the plans of tomorrow.
Our armour is our life and our sword our drive. Neither shall you allow to be removed from you while in the presence of others.
Charity is our path, not others, and you will accept no favour unless you can return it.
