The Silver Roses

The Knighthood: The Order of the Silver Roses is a knightly order based in Watcher's Keep and serving under the command of Grandmaster Daos, under Sethrian law and in the interest of Eldham's people. The Order has been started recently and its numbers are still low, but they pride themselves on the masterwork of their fort, as it is made to withstand all kinds of attacks that would be detrimental to most other walled cities or fortifications. Its layered walls, reinforced inner keeps, large underground rooms are all made to withstand prolonged siege. The engineering of their forts and reinforcing of already existing cities has made them prized defensive planners and their slowly growing numbers mean that soon their order will see active wars and battle.
The Void that resides in Watcher's Keep is currently being hold under control by the low number of knights using Sethrian ice crystals and black-stone walls,filling the wound of the earth with a silver mist, that has healing proprieties. The duty known as void-keeping was created for the grand-master of the order as a way to handle any direct work needed to maintain the healing processes of the bedrock, but not all things go well, and the occasional monster wanders out of the cracks, escaping the damned world of the void. Historical records show signs of massive void armies wandering out of larger void cracks, usually led by banished gods or great dragons. One of the more trustworthy creatures of the void are the draconblood, large, dragon-like humanoids who, while at first hostile, eventually understood the need for regulation on void related creatures.
To join the order, one must agree to 2 rules, the first being the upholding of a moral code that supports the rights of all beings, no matter of their species, and the second is the upholding of an oath of loyalty. Followed by these 2 is the ritual known as "Silvering", a process that requires a rose and silvering water. To be an official member of the order, one must take a rose and place it in the water, all knights who uphold the 2 rules of the order will observe that their roses will undergo a slow and beautiful process where their petals and eventually the stem turn into a misty silver and grow out from their original size.
The Oath of "The Silver Lord" is:
-"I swear an oath :to the fairest Lord, whoever they may be; to defend all life from harm and hurt; I swear to stop those who bear the mark of the dark; I swear to steer those who call themselves gods to the right path; to the "Fair" Lady, I promise only death and destruction; to her kindred betrayed, I will bring justice; and to her kindred who followed, only steel and silver; and to the Bloody Star, to ask for hope, so that those who i protect may live on; knowing the sacrifice of the ones who bear Silvering marks; So that the world may stop burning, if just for a moment."
The faintest of hope the order has in defeating the Void for good is a being known as the "Silver Lord", whose power would be great enough to venture the void and kill the powerfull beings that can shatter bedrock. Not much is known about this individual, and what little information there is cannot be fully translated.
