Empire, Knight of the Blazing Sun

The Knights of the Blazing Sun are an order of templars devoted to the cult of Myrmidia, goddess of warfare and protector of civilization. While the order began in the southern portions of the Old Wold, its members have spread throughout the Empire in a recent centuries. Each Knight has spent a lifetime in both physical and mental training, and it is the latter that differentiates them from other warriors in the Old World. Though they are fierce, the Knights of the Blazing Sun rarely travel in large units. In small groups and individually, the Knights of the Blazing Sun travel the Empire seeking opportunities to test their skills, serve as advisors and commanders, and prove themselves on the battlefield.
