Eldritch Knights

The Eldritch Knights are an order of elite warriors who have mastered the art of sword and sorcery, and have sworn to themselves and each other to protect peace and bring justice to the world. They are protectors of the weak and the innocent.
The phoenix is their sign, for even if the known order is dismantled, the fire will rise again from the ashes. To recognize an Eldritch Knight, look for a tattoo of a phoenix that burns with flame. Their headquarters is Eldritch Manor, in Palinor.
The Eldritch Knights are few, and their two main objectives are to uphold justice, and re-discover their past.
== Relations ==
They have no official legal jurisdiction in any part of the world, however their order is age-old and their skill and honour has earned them a reputation unparalleled throughout the world, and are thus in some places are regarded with as much authority as any lawmaker.
Some knights are are known and praised, but there are those who blend in amongst society, watching and protecting in secret.
Over the last few centuries, relations with the Church of Enun have been tense.
== History ==
=== Origin ===
Unknown. Their symbol has been found engraved in stone dating back more than 2000 years, so their origin predates the Dark Ages.
=== Dark Ages ===
The order almost went extinct during the Dark Ages.
=== Post Dark Ages ===
Peace keepers, roaming knights.
=== Dragon Conquest ===
Fought in the war. Many were killed. Some travelled to foreign lands to seek aid, but many refused to answer the call until the Dragonborn were upon their own doorstep.
After the war, the order helped pacify the lands during the power vacuum. The Church of Enun, a faith with no established organisation, convinced the Eldritch Knights to roam to dispatch rogue war barons and mercenary leaders who came to claim power. The few remaining Eldritch Knights were met with resistance and the numbers dwindled severely. When peace settled over the land, the order was instrumental in the drafting and signing of the Treaty of Palinor. The Eldritch Knights were given a mansion in Palinor to call their home.
