[QUOTE="Daiymo, post: 370112, member: 2539"] Sounds good. In many ways this order is similar to the Knights Templar of the Middle Ages. It has a different slant, perhaps a bit less religious, but I like how it was formed of third and fourth sons who had no chance of inheiratance. Does this order have a name? This group has alot of possibilites. They could become a force behind the throne, much like the Janissaries in the Ottoman Empire, or an external threat to established kingdoms nearby-again like the Templars. As such I think there's no real need to get hung up on the "knight" idea. Any order-mercenary or not has degrees of hierarchy. Even the chivalric knight developed out of less structured ideas of fealty as the Roman Empire fell-the Saxon idea of a Lord and Thanes for example. In fact a NE order of humaniods may be better pattered after this "earlier" version of the chevalier than the later Middle Ages version. [/QUOTE]
