Realm Description

the Militaris Ordinis of the Lost Brethren Knights, are a Duchy or small Kingdom sized collection of Knightly Chapters, located near the Southern end of the continental mainland.

A Knightly Chapter may or may not hold any land or territories. To qualify as one, the would be Chapter Master must present both a righteous purpose, and righteous intent, of the would be Chapter, before all the other masters. All of the Chapter Orders serve a purpose, an almost holy duty.

During war, the attacker, be it a Chapter of the Knights, or an outside enemy, ought to declare both a purpose and intent as well. Failure to do so will cause the war to be either unsanctioned in the former, and grounds for a 'Crusade' in the latter.

It may be more accurate to not refer to the Brethren Knights as a realm with an army, but as an army with a realm. A Crusade is a grand conflict, in which every enlisted man and woman of the realm proper is required to serve, including every single First One.

Founded by a group of Knights stranded after a freak storm, eventually making landfall, they have renewed their oaths of knighthood and continued to uphold their traditions from their home continent.
