A brief history of the wars between the Order of Othwyn, and the Crescent Knights of Shadowsong.
THE ORDER OF OTHWYN
The ancient Order of Othwyn was created by Othwyn and his consort Jaedwyn
(both worshipped by the Assyr as gods) to oppose Shadesong for
thousands of years; however, the Order has fallen on hard times with the disappearance
of the Assyr.
Awaiting the fulfillment of a prophecy announcing the coming of great heroes, the crone Aoshi Kiga was quited dispirited to find the prophecy nothing but a fable. While she waited along, underground, for hundres of years waiting for them to appear, she has now resolved that she must make do with what she has on hand.
The Order, disbanded after Shadesong was defeated, has now been re-activated, and placed under the patronage of the Eldren mage Anduil Blackquill, who long ago betrayed Sahdesong to the Order.
There are currently only three members of the Order:
Aleken Tainhammerin (Orkan Priest)
Faine the Plague Knight (Assyr Paladin)
Garm Darkstone (Dvaergur Priest)
They no longer have a fortress, but travel about, going where Anduil sends them to face whatever new threat arises.
THE CRESCENT KNIGHTS
Among the many who followed Shadesong during his first crusade, there were a few who earned his respect, adn served him better than others. These he elevated to the status of Crescent Knights, taking their mortality from them, and gifting them powerful artifacts with which to mete out death.
In his final hours, Shadesong abde four of them - whose names are forgotten in time - to enter a deep slumber and await his return.
Now that Shadesong walks Eld once more, his Crescent Knights cannot be far behind...
