History
The Talea Knights were founded on 6.34.4000 as Agi Saffkrix continued to grow in size and height. A group of Agium Nationalists came together to protect their businesses and families from a group of violent Eakamich cultists. Overtime, they grew to adopt the dress and manner of the Agium knights before them, and started to accept and protect any one disadvantaged enough to live in the Talea District.
The leader of the Knights lives in the Paper Palace, located higher up in the Baum District. There, they could play the part of crime lord and businessman.
The cartel was eventually absorbed into the United Nod Militia at the start of the Battle of Nodum.

The cartel was conscripted by the United Nod Milita for the Battle of Nodum.
