Knights of the Round Table

The Knights of the Round Table is an international military brotherhood and chivalric order founded by King Arthur of Caerleon in Britannia. Originally founded during the Seasons of Chaos in order to establish a neutral party to aid in the defense and recovery of kingdoms during peacetime, the Knights of the Round Table rose to new responsibilities in the face of increasingly dangerous magical threats. They dedicated themselves to the simple task of avoiding the end of the entire world. Any other concern is secondary. Due to the nature of their work and purpose, the gods saw the order as an obvious fit for the task of upholding the Pact as its mortal arm. Thus they have since served in the capacity of hunting down would-be violators of the Pact and sealing away items of tremendous magical power in vaults across the known world, away from the hands of potential abusers. The Knights are welcome in most courts and are sworn as a whole to none. Thus, individual Knights can be found in every nation and holding every allegiance. Their unifying purpose is as it always has been, avoiding the complete destruction of the world. This neutrality and respectable purpose contributes to the reason the independence of their headquarters in Caerleon has always been respected and no conquest of Caerleon has been attempted.

Round Table Castles
-Caerleon: The castle of the late King Arthur, headquarters of the Knights of the Round Table, and home of the Excalibur Vault, which contains powerful magical weapons.

-Fort Bismarck: Built by the knight Sir Bismarck in the heartlands of Germania, the fort was constructed as a shelter for traveling knights rather than as a vault. In recent years, its use has been limited and not exclusive to the Knights.

-Fort Aymer: Built by the knight Sir Aymer on the coastal cliffs of the North Sea, this fort was meant to be home to a vault of an unknown name but before its completion, a storm caused part of the cliff to give way, thus tearing a great section of the castle down into the sea, bringing Sir Aymer along with it.
