Lore
The history of the Knoob family stretches back over several generations. Ever loyal to their rightful Kings and Queens, they have been the firm bedrock which the Kingdom was built upon. Many Knoobs distinguished themselves with valor and bravery on the field of battle, and their Duchy of Andor has been earned and paid for thrice over in blood, sweat and tears. However, the future of Andor came into question just over 100 years ago.
At that time, Duke Gerard Knoob was one of King Delafonte’s closest military advisers in the Kingdom of Arthos. Although some doubted the King’s sanity, the ever-loyal Knoobs stood by their King in the face of a rebellion - the Richfort merchant family had turned traitor and were dead-set on overthrowing the rightful King. Sadly, following years of conflict, and despite the best efforts of Andor and other loyal Duchies, the Kingdom of Arthos fell. Duke Knoob knelt before the conquering King Richfort, and offered him his sword in surrender. Much to his surprise, Mardrem Richfort returned his blade to him, and vouched that he had room in the newly forged Kingdom of Kairos for a man of honor and integrity. Gerald swore fealty to his new King, and the Duchy of Andor lives on in Kairos to this day.
