The Ride

Military action

An angelic being visited the Kingdom of Aumont in search of zealous warriors to launch a crusade into the depths of the Infernum. The surving knights become known as the Hellriders.

A group of elite knights called the Hellriders were formed in the year 87AE, after an event known as The Ride. It is said that an angelic being visited the Kingdom of Aumont in search of zealous warriors to launch a crusade into the depths of the Infernum itself.   Most of the knights who answered the divine call were Saars, although warriors came from Sancre, Kronburg, and further afield too. The angel gathered several thousand knights at Saarthal, from where they went on to ride through a portal leading to Avernus (the first layer of the Infernum). The knights fought courageously, however the legions of hell were too great, and the angel was defeated. Regardless, those who returned were glorified and earned the moniker Hellrider.   The surviving Hellriders established themselves as a permanent order in Saarthal, vowing to protect their lands and bring heavenly justice to any fiends and deamons encountered. The order is still around today, although in smaller numbers. Since the emergence of the Companion they have sworn to the Creed Resolute.
