Pantheon Knights

Sent forth to represent each of the eight noble races (Dragonborn, Dwarves, Elves, Gnomes, Haflings, Humans, Orcs, Tieflings) of Aldorea in the Sylvan Wars, the Pantheon Knights were the most trusted weapons of the Great King and Queen. As thanks for their unwavering loyalty, Great Queen Grainne bestowed upon them immortality. However, the Pantheon became greedy, and upon deciding that the young King Adolm (the Great King and Queen's beloved son) was unworthy of the Opal Throne, they raged a bloody coup and attempted to take it for themselves.

In doing so, they revoked their solemn pact with the Great Queen and were destroyed from existence as the magical bonds which kept them alive were severed. However, this act also severed all ties with magic within Aldorea. The aftermath of this cataclysmic event is now known as The Fall, and the tale of the Pantheon Knights has become a cautionary one of greed and hubris.

Perhaps due to a sense of piety and regret for the events of The Fall, the names and identities of the Knights were removed from history, and now only their legend remains.
