Background

Once the priesthood and the Imperial House were established, it became clear that someone still had to do the dirty work of dispatching roving sea monsters, suppressing insurrection, and commanding armies. Thus, the Emperor Beroon II elevated twenty commoners, who were approved by the High Priest, and declared them to be Knights. The remainder of the commoners were relegated to the role of peasants.

The Knights had the responsibility of managing estates and delivering taxes to the Emperor and tithes to the High Priest. They were also responsible for keeping ready peasant levies for whenever they were needed.

During the reign of Beroon IV, a schism developed between the Imperial House and the Priesthood. Roughly half of the Knights supported each side as the Knights of the Blood and the Knights of the Stone, respectively. A bloody civil war errupted and, with the Knights of the Stone now bearing Lightning Lances, the Priesthood came out the winner. Berron IV was executed and the Emperor became little more than a figurehead. The Knights of the Blood were stripped of their equipment and given the choice of becoming peasants or practice targets. To fill the void some of the outstanding peasant soldiers were elevated to become Knights of the Stone.
Personality
The Knights of the Stone have varying personalities, but all are proud of their heritage and adamantly support the Priesthood. To others, the Knights are quiet, observing, and menacing. But amongst their brothers and sisters, they are quite lively and loquacious.
Quote
"Yield to the chosen of the Ancients."
Powers

The Knights of the Stone bear four pieces of equipment which allows them to be efficient and deadly warriors. Their primary weapon is a strong, lightweight ceramisteel sword. For combat over longer distances, they use a electrostatic discharge gun. Their armor, too is made of ceramisteel. Finally, they carry a bioengineered nanomachine pharmaceutical that is orally delivered and allows them to heal rapidly in battle. Of course, they think that all of these are god-granted magic rather than machine-made technology.

Typically one Knight of the Stone commands one Block of Servant Soldiers. In addition, often a veteran Knight is paired with a trainee squire who is equipped and trained as the knight, but has less field experience. Both are mounted on Sea Horses.
Appearance

The Knights wear gray and purple armor that looks a lot like that of an early Medieval knight. The sword completes the look, but the Lightning Lance gives them an achronistic appearance. They have a habit of appearing menacing to anyone outside of their own caste.
