Order of Annwn

The Order of Annwn is an order of holy knights sworn to Cerawna under the command of the Aldervarg Family. Their headquarters are located in Skandergard.

After the War of Unity they have emphasized their existence as a religious order separate from the Skandern monarchy, to avoid disbandment.

Structure

People who wish to join the Knights of Annwn must receive a sign from Cerawna during their first trial to be accepted into the order. Officially, anyone can join, though the training is difficult to keep up with for someone not already experienced in basic combat and social training.
Usually, people join the order at 15 years of age. For six years, they are trained as squires, before they knighted.

Public Agenda

The knights first and foremost goal is the protection of Skander, be it from outside threats or internal danger. They see their responsibility equally in protecting their ruling family and the general populace, in protecting nature and civilization.

History

Founded in 497 (1086 in the Monedan calendar) by Annwn

Annwn was a champion of Cerawna and companion of Queen Vánagandr, the seventeenth queen of Skander. She founded an order of knights, the Knights of the Moon, during the War [of XY]. Though she fell in 509 during the War of [YZ], the sacrifice of her and twelve of her knights allowed for Skander's victory in that battle and the survival of their queen. Vánagandr renamed the order in Annwn's honour.

Tenets of Faith

Cerawna's light must be kindled and protected in all things nature and civilization.

We are the full moon in the darkest night.
