A country founded in the aftermath of Alliance's fall by Knight-Commander Tristan of Erzoth on 5/9/2013 (3 DY).
History:
Although not technically Knights in the Realm of Dargarth, the land from which they hail(the Kingdom of Erzoth) they were a prestigious Knight Order. Followers of the Dragon of Justice, Erz, they kept the peace in the land, helping wherever they saw fit. Eventually, their kingdom was attacked by the Kingdom of Tikana. The ever ambitious King Johann led the Tikanans into Erzothian land hoping to be able to expand his empire. A few battles were fought, and after a long bloody war the Erzothians were defeated. Before leading the remainder of his troops to hold off the approaching forces, the King of Erzoth asked Knight-Commander Tristan to take the battered remainder of his Knights and go north to the fabled land of Dargarth. Taking their fastest ship they set off immediately, but the long journey was made harder due to many who wanted to return to their homeland and take it back. Obeying the last orders of his King, Tristan(along with his Lieutenant Furnavi)put down a mutiny attempting to overthrow those who would remain loyal to their king. With their numbers even more thinned, and supplies running low, during a storm they ran their ship into the southern coast of Dargarth in the ruins of the country of the Alliance. Seeing disorder and no signs of a government the remaining Knights stepped in and reformed their Knight Order to bring peace to the lands of the Alliance. They stand for Justice and Honor.
Government
The government of the Knights of Erzoth consists of two positions: The Knight Commander and the Chief Councilman. The Knight Commander is appointed by the old one, or the current one can be voted out of his position by the rest of the Knights. Once a year the Chief Councilman is elected by the populace to represent them as a political adviser to the Knight-Commander..
Goals:
To provide a safe haven for any who wish to live in our country
To rebuild the fallen cities of the Alliance
To explore and expand to new lands
To eventually send an expedition force back to our fallen homeland
Knight Order
The Knights of Erzoth were founded hundreds of years ago. The legends say that their founder Knight-Commander Lyonell was saved by a gold dragon by the name of Erz. Lyonell asked the Dragon what it could do to repay it for saving his life and the Dragon told him "Follow my commandments and bring peace to these lands". Founding the Kingdom of Erzoth alongside the Knights of Erzoth, they followed the Dragons code of honor vigilantly. After King Lyonells death, it was decided that his son should only take over as King, and that the Knight should remain under separate leadership to make sure the King doesn't stray from the code of honor. Eventually, Tristan was promoted to the position of Knight-Commander.
