Description
The Knightly Orders of Rath, serving the Church of the Flame, are ten elite martial brotherhoods, each themed after a Metallic or Chromatic Dragon type. These Orders embody the fiery wrath and disciplined justice of Rath, God of Dragons, Death and War, and stand as the church’s most devout defenders and enforcers. Each Order is led by a Grandmaster, chosen for their martial prowess, unwavering faith, and leadership. Outside of the Grandmasters of each order, only the Keeper of the Light can command the knights directly, and other cities and towns much appeal for aid; although many groups have strong ties to various orders in exchange for material support.
