The Order of Knights of the Lighthouses of Alesia

We are a Holy Order of Knights within the Virtori Church of Thearyn, with agreements to build Forts in other Duchies and Counties. We are a Quick Reaction Force that will deploy to any settlement under attack in order to safe guard the commoners and the Faithful.

We receive our support from both the Nobility and Commoners. All donations goes towards increased patrols, which in turn should deter banditry within our area of operations.

We shall also in select cities act as law enforcement and manage Baronies as we have been invited by the rulers there to bring law and order to their lands and we accept this honor in addition to our other duties.

Those who perform great deeds in service to the people of Alesia shall be anointed as a true Knight of the realm and enjoy the privileges and honors that come with it.

We are not only recruiting soldiers, our Order requires a multitude of people to function correctly. Farmers to grow the crops, cooks to feed the troops, a smith to forge gear. So if you would like to set up a shop inside one of our fortresses or you would like a field to farm let us know

If you want to work towards making the Kingdom a safe place, or you are a someone who simply wishes to live behind the walls of our forts for protection. We provide sanctuary to all, the weary, the downtrodden, and the forgotten.

So fellow Alesians if you simply wish to offer your support, or you would like to join the order, lets us join together in this noble quest to defend the weak, feed the hungry and safe guard the realm.

You can find me on discord in the Kingdom of Alesia channel if you have any questions or concerns

RULES FOR THE ORDER

  1. Never announce yourself as a Knight of the Order, as pride will lead to ones downfall, if you are asked directly if you are a member you may answer.

  4. Be generous if you are able for he who cares for his brothers shall be cared for by his brothers.

A little update, in the last few months we have grown more and are now at a point where there are several people within the organization with different goals. As such a council was formed where the voices of the membership can have their thoughts on the direction of the order can be heard and any suggestions they may have may be brought up.

Remember though while we are militaristic, we are not a conquering force, we defend the people and provide them with the safety and security they need to live out their daily lives.
