The Knights of Thrane, also called the Crown Knights, are a chivalric order of knights that was founded by Prince Thrane in the earliest days of the nation. The Knights of Thrane have always served the royal family, answering to the Regent of Thrane during the days of Galifar, and to the Thranish royal family during and after the Last War.
When the Church of the Silver Flame refused to acknowledge the authority of the royal family in 914 YK, the Knights of Thrane were ready to go to war on behalf of the royal family, but the heir apparent defused the situation by ceding to the Keeper of the Flame, recognising that Thrane would not survive a civil war whilst the Last War raged on. Today, the Knights of Thrane are essentially their own sub-order within the Knights Templar, specialising in heavy cavalry, though in theory they answer to Queen Diani ir'Wynarn. In practice, they answer to the Council of Flamekeep and put their loyalty to Thrane ahead of their loyalty to the royal family.
The Knights of Thrane are led by Captain Malik Otherro.
