Description
The Platinum Fist was a knightly order, founded by
Sir Larys based on the principles of the
Knights of Solamnia, although only he knew or had even heard of them. After the disastrous campaign against the dragon
Asterax, almost all the knights, including Larys, had been killed.
Base of Operations
The Platinum Fist was stationed in Greyhawk, the City of Adventurers.
Members
Sir Erik is the last known survivor. Others were slain by Asterax, Larys himself, or
Kapital after the knights became undead under the influence of the old necromancer's tower in the
Bonefields.
Leadership
The knightly order was founded and led by Sir Larys leading up to its dissolution.
Allegiances
While most of Greyhawk's ratcatchers are driven by loot and/or fame, the knights were a heroic organization, loved by many and motivated to end the suffering in the fractured nation of
Gaes.
History
After settling in Greyhawk, Larys founded the knights of the Platinum Fist, instilling in them certain virtues from the Oath and the Measure of the Knights of Solamnia.
Led by Larys, the Platinum Fist marched into the
Brackwater Swamp to deal with the Midnight Terror, a dragon who terrorized the region. Enhanced by
strange alchemies, the knights were warded against the dragon's old magic.
Eventually, Larys was able to drive away Asterax, but his new form remained and corrupted the waters. He waged war on the
Court of the King Crab; the surviving knights' skin turned to sludge, while the fallen were raised as undead, and they defended their position within the Bonefields.
When Kapital was asked for aid from the King Crab's court, they investigated the Bonefields and encountered Erik, who pointed out the old necromancer's tower as the source of the swamp's corruption.
When the group felled the ooze knight and his undead minions, Larys's spirit was able to move on. With all but Erik felled in combat, the Platinum Fist was disbanded.
