Lore / Knights of Creation

Knights of Creation:

“Fearless, Loyal, Dutiful, Faithful; we are the Engifted, who foster the clearest minds and honed ingenuity within; clad in magnificent armor and equipped with mightiest armaments created by Meority; we live dedicated to a single cause, the purest of purposes – to be that which even the darkest horrors can dread. We are Her paramount custodians and prophets of good. We are not simply banishing the nightmares made by the Timeless Trapeser... we drain Its mind of joy when It sees Its own creations slaughtered; we deliver infinite despair into Its black heart when It hears our sistren chanting anthems of victory for us; we make Its body tremble with fear when It realizes one absolute truth – Its prison will be as Eternal as Itself, and Her children will live forever as Its wardens.

Meora is the Light, Knights of Creation are Her blazing rays – and what we create is death.”

The term was first coined somewhere between the 25th and 20th centuries UAA. By then, the Kingdom of Bosom had long since established armed forces and tactics against the Envasions of Malevolent Swarms, including a simple fact that ordinary people can not fight the Jealous Beastiary without dreadful risks to themselves (until the era of firearms arrived). Thus, only the vehement Engifted were armed and trained to act as the shield and spear of Meora, bringing us victories and accepting the highest honors in return.

Rumors of these heroes were spreading beyond the borders of Milkland, and each retelling would enlegend them with ever greater exploits and triumphs, until all that remained of them was an image of the adamant and beautiful flawlessness – an image that eventually became the truth to which many aspire.

Today, the Knights of Creation are not legends, but venerable military personnel, recognized by the Herquisition as supreme warriors of Her Light. Each nation has its own standards and qualifications to become one, sometimes varying too much for others to accept, but even then, we all understand what the Knights of Creation are meant to be – craftsmen of death.

Her Deathly Visage:

The greatest reward for a Knight of Creation, and an homage to a great ancient sacrifice. In the likeness and awe of the Defenders of Her Visage – the engraving of Meora’s face upon one’s helm is a symbol of the highest lionization in Meority, worthy of worship and exaltation. Only the most devoted and mighty dare to even dream of wearing it someday – those who love the Allmother wholeheartedly, who are Joyful and Gorgeous in Her image, who will refuse to die simply because they were killed. Granting such an honor to anyone requires Herquisitorial recognition and approval, based on a universal standard accepted by every nation, great and small, without exception.

Her Deathly Visage makes you the very thing the Umbral Horrors fear most, and in their final moments of pathetic existence, all they will see is the face of the one they dared to defile… a face they will remember in eternal death.
