Knights of the Moon

The Knights of the Moon are a popular order of knights renowned for their steadfastness and reliability. The order was formed many years ago after a schism in Riverside between two noble families nearly erupted in violence. On the night of a full moon, the first-born of the families were each sent with a group of soldiers to attack the other, but upon arrival the soldiers were reluctant to fight one another under the beautiful light of the full moon. The two met, and swore their families would fight no longer, returning hand-in-hand to the bewilderment of their parents. Eventually a peace was settled, and the star-crossed lovers formed the Knights of the Moon, forever devoted to maintaining the peace in the region. Inspiring both poets and lovers, the Knights of the Moon fight for Narrah, The Lady of the Moon, The Pale Sister. The order strives to root out evil Lycanthropes from their lands, as well as all those who would threaten Riverside. The order has special reverence for druids and those who honor the old ways, and often negotiate between those who wish to expand into the wilderness and those who would protect it. Since its inception, the order has always maintained two leaders of the order. While originally they were lovers, since then none have been a couple. The two are often from highly respect houses in an effort to establish an alliance between them.
