Knights of RedCliff

Knights of RedCliff is a group led by Sorcus. It is both a role-playing and a war group, and regarded as an official war/clan group of Roblox with its own collection of themed items. 
==Concept==
Players are knights that defend Robloxia from evil. They defend with honor and pride, and they protect the weak from the Korbloxian invasion. The group has around 14 thousand members in it. Knights of RedCliff was one of the few groups on Roblox that used to be active and owned by either an Administrator or a Moderator. 
==Lore==
The Knights of RedCliff are a group of knights that were born to defend Robloxia and inhabit the center of the Robloxian world. They were founded by the mighty Knight Xargas in 1324 I.R., when he and his Knights finally managed to exile the Barbarian King Canavus and his men out of Robloxia. During the current year of 1543 I.R, the Knights were on their way to the Wizard's Tower to aid their allies against the Korbloxian hordes when they were ambushed by the DarkAge Ninjas.
Because of this, the Wizard's Tower and surrounding town fell, starting a war between Redcliff and Korblox, with both sides' allies joining the fray. This in turn threatened the Emerald Knights of the Seventh Sanctum, unholy and undead knights who watch over Robloxia, to resurface to return stability to the world.

==Popularity==
The group was famous due to being owned by Sorcus, a former Administrator who lurked in the scripters forum and is widely considered to be a troll, even by Roblox's standards. Roblox used to release several different Redcliff related items in the Catalog yearly, (though with the introduction of the UGC, this has died out) and used to have multiple blog posts detailing its story (until the posts got deleted), further adding to its popularity. All the various Gears, Hats and Packages that have to do with RedCliff are all based on the group, though some are considered less canon than others.
==Blog posts==

==Trivia==
*Back in April 2011, Knights of RedCliff first hit 1,000 members. To celebrate this milestone, Sorcus changed the group settings to Request To Join and instructed the high ranks not to accept anyone in. All existing members already in the group would receive a free RedCliff hat as a 1,000 member bonus once John Shedletsky, under the username Telamon back then, got back from vacation to give the OK. The free hat members within the group got was the Redcliff Infantry, before it was put on sale.
*The account Roblox was once in Redcliff, from July 21, 2011, until February 17, 2016, as an Elite Commander. The account was later added to the rest of the official Lore Groups until February 2016, when it was removed from all groups it was in except for the two it's currently in now; Roblox Arena Events and Roblox Wiki.
*On February 27, 2023, Vilkata (@The13thHippie), an Elite Commander in the group, announced the Knights of RedCliff group was going on an "indefinite hiatus for the foreseeable future."
*Due to Sorcus no longer working for Roblox, and the increasing difficulties of running Redcliff without its owner active, The13thHippie gave Datmagenar his blessing to create a new group to be the spiritual successor to Redcliff, and the active members all moved to the new group(Knights of the Rising Phoenix).
