The Great Lodge [The Karnic Guard] The Sunlight Knights of Isle of Nierenn are, or were, an elite society of zealot knights. Chosen from birth and trained under rigorous conditions, they have a reputation for marvelous deeds of arms, but also a history filled with unexpected appearances and heroic victories in defense of the faith. The Sunlight Knights were unbeatable, in their time.

Their order's greatest task is as an honor guard for Karna during the god's yearly manifestation during the solar festival. Now that the State of Cerentuin is a vassal to The Reign of Eld, they are largely inactive outside their role in religious ceremonies. They pay no tribute and will bear no arms on King Lionel Pendragon behalf, as part of the terms of peace. They have never been beaten "in fair combat", but it is said that 'to rest is to rust', and what honor is there in being a knight that will bear no arms?


STANDARD-BEARER: [Champion] Rarus: [HGT: 5ft, 8in; WGT: 180 lbs] Long black hair, a golden tan, and sharp features hide the fact that Rarus is the legion's most tenacious and deadly fighter. There is little to Rarus except drilling and tanning. When moved to speak, it is rarely more than quotations of scripture.

DRESSED IN: Ancient Bequeathed Platemail. POSSESSIONS: wooden wrist sundial, wooden hair brush, the company standard. ARMS & ARMOR: gladius (w+1SK), spear (wK, AP1), light wooden oval shield


LEGATE: [Divine Emissary] Henrus: [HGT: 6ft, 1in; WGT: 200 lbs] An older soldier with curly, salt-and-pepper hair.  He is aloof, and thinks of little but preparing for Karna's visitations. Yet part of him also longs to reclaim his unit's lost glory. He feels a personal connection to god that gives him great certitude. 

DRESSED IN: Ancient Bequeathed Platemail. POSSESSIONS: small toad, fishing gear. ARMS & ARMOR: gladius (w+1SK), ornate staff (w+1S, AP1) light wooden oval shield


PREFECT: [Master-at-Arms] Vamin: [HGT: 5ft, 6in; WGT: 170 lbs] A down and dirty man with curly black hair. He is perceptive, but abrasive. He has a fondness for making wagers with the troops in order to push them harder.  

DRESSED IN: Ancient Bequeathed Platemail. POSSESSIONS: poison antidote, leather flask. ARMS & ARMOR: battle axe (w+2SK), spear (wK, AP1)


CASTIGATOR: [Company Physic] Bardon: [HGT: 6ft, 9in; WGT: 280 lbs] He has long, black hair and a thin moustache. For someone in charge of the company's diet, medical care, and wellbeing, he is rather cold and distant. However, he is obsessed with food and cooking. 

DRESSED IN: black boots, leather pants, and a white short-sleeved coat. POSSESSIONS: onion, strawberries (2 ea). ARMS & ARMOR: ornate staff (w+1S, AP1)


The Order of the Sunlight Knights is a knightly order of carefully trained zealot elites tasked with defending the faith. There are 400 inducted fighters in the order, with generally 10-25 trainees awaiting final confirmation. This force is famed for its intense cradle-to-grave training, unmatched zeal and fighting spirit, and a mysterious tendency to appear in unexpected places and protecting true believers. They are equally famous for their strange, ancient armor said to have been bequeathed by the god himself over 1,500 years ago. The armor seems to glow faintly, or somehow absorb the darkness around it.
