Cabals / KNIGHT
Though few believe it these days, there has been such time in annals of Aabahran when the lands were free of the taint of Undead and Demonic and the people of the land led their lives free of the corruption visited upon them by the powers of Nexus. Yet as all good things come to an end, so did this grand age of happiness and in the time when the JUSTICE was weak, and the Royal Houses young the shadowy powers of darkness were first spotted upon the horizon by the Royal House of ValMiran. Wasting no time the ValMiran royals gathered with the Houses of Rheydin and Miruvhor and quickly formed an elite force of men and women to counter this threat. Called the Knights of the Crown, and guided by the Royal Houses, they were Aabahran's last defense against the tides of darkness. Yet seeing the House of Rheydin fickle in their loyalty and pursuit of riches, and the House of Miruvhor often allied with the dark powers the newly formed Knights of the Crown knew that only by remaining independent of these squabbling royals, will their victory be assured. And thus the Knights of the Crown were formed, and upon their shoulders rested the safety of Aabahran as they searched for the True King to once again unite the Royal Houses and bring harmony and peace upon the land once more. SPECIAL TRAITS:Experts in fortifications, Knights construct better bastions. Any area owned by them, will grant moderate health recovery bonus to any good or neutral aligned creature.
Races: Half-Elf, Half-Drow, Storm, Stone, Gnome, Human, Werebeast, Slith, Feral, Minotaur, Avian, Dwarf, Faerie, Halfling, Elf, Ogre and Avatar The PraetoriansFormed from the fighting core of the elite warriors of the Royal Guard, the Praetorians originally composed all of the Knights of the Crown forces. Fiercely honorable and known to fight against all odds with reckless courage, it is said that the souls of their fallen are reincarnated as the Holy Vanguards to forever battle the evils upon Aabahran. The Praetorians draft only the best into their ranks, and require their recruits to serve as squires before passing grueling tests to become a member of their ranks. Those whom aspire to join them in service to Aabahran should hold Honor and Courage in the highest regard. The Praetorian faction believes that only through military campaigns against those whom seek to taint Aabahran will peace be brought to the land once more. To this end they travel the land forever on the lookout against forces of Nexus. Races: Half-Elf, Half-Drow, Storm, Stone, Gnome, Human, Werebeast, Slith, Feral, Minotaur, Avian, Dwarf, Faerie, Halfling, Elf, Ogre and Avatar The SigilsSoon after the first major campaign against the forces of Undead and Demonic was won, a great unrest developed amongst the forces of Knights of the Crown. Many thought that only by continuing the battle and completely eradicating the unorganized forces of darkness will a full victory be achieved. Yet there were also those whom seeing the bloody price of the recent victory, preached that to follow such path would be to suffer a pyrric victory. Their forces weakening due to internal strife, the Knights of the Crown sought compromise, and so the faction of SIGIL was born. Composed of the those whom would forgo the blind aggression of Praetorian and temper it with wisdom and foresight, their members watch over the lands of Aabahran for signs of corruption and evil. Rarely found far from battle, the Sigils as they are called are renown for their wisdom and knowledge as well as uncanny ability to ferret out all evil no matter how well disguised. Often serving as scouts and watchers of the Knights, no servant of darkness has been able to fool their sight.
