Knights of the Silver Dragon
During the Dark Ages, the Knights of the Silver Dragon was an order of monks in Ireland. In the Middle Ages, it was a knightly order in France. During the Enlightenment, it was a Masonic brotherhood in England. In the American colonies, it was a band of rebels on the frontier. In The Democratic Era, it was a secret organization that knew all about the ways of Shadow and has sworn to protect all innocent and good creatures no matter where they come from. During The Era Of Anarchy, they were an elite unit of soldiers that protected the people and ensured that they were provided for. They worked primarily within the Tacoma area. With the rise of Corporatocracy, they used a corporation that one of their members owned to lay claim to Tacoma.
The group’s name comes from its founder, a silver dragon who was trapped in this world during an incursion of Shadow over 1,500 years ago. Many suspect (and those inside the organization know for certain) that their current leader, a handsome young man with long silver hair who answers to the
name of Wynn, is in fact that very same dragon in disguise.
The Knights are organized into cells, each responsible for reporting back to Wynn about current goings on in their local Shadow communities. In the absence of direct orders from their leader, they are charged with wholeheartedly and without hesitation protecting all innocent and good creatures from harm (particularly harm caused by evil Shadow creatures). They do their best to have an active cell within each major region. Members of the Knighthood are dedicated body and soul to the cause of good and protecting the innocent.
For his part, Wynn travels the globe investigating reports of particularly strong Shadow activity and assessing the capabilities of heroes he meets along
the way. Wynn offers any individual or group that he judges to be of sufficient moral fiber a position within the Knights. Unlike many other organizations, the Knights do not ask members to forsake other organizations or commitments—they just require that service to do good be an individuals primary motivation. When he does come across extraordinary evil, Wynn calls in all available Knights in an organized effort to rout the offending creature or manifestation. He seems particularly interested in investigating ways to throw these entities back across the veil of Shadow to the world from which they came.
