Knights in Achthal

Orders
Orders are groups of knights formed around a common interest. They are either landed (made up knights with feudal land), unlanded, or hybrid.

The Confederal Order of Knights
This is the largest of the landed orders. The 'confederal' in the title interestingly has nothing to do with the Achthalian Confederation, the order predating it by 116 years, instead it refers to the orders nature as a very loose grouping of branches. In 451 a group of very minor nobles just to the north of Aruseus's Land met to discuss joining the kingdom. They agreed that they'd like to do it, but they feared that if they did so they would be absorbed by the county to their immediate south. As a result, they appointed a baron, but to keep them in check they formed The Order of The Blizzard.
