Knights of Trueblade
"A knight is always a knight. And to be a knight is to fight for those who cannot do it themselves. Once you take up this mantle, it will be a burden on your shoulders 'till your grave. It will not be easy, it will not be light, and more than once you will regret ever taking it. But even though, someone must carry it, so the people can live in peace. So will you rise as a knight and bear it?"

History
Knights of Trueblade is organization founded in 759 of 12th Millenia by Thomon Everwood, a paladin of Ras the Judge, and six of his friends. The main reason for this was to be able to help those in need of protection. Very soon the talents of the group were realized by rulers of Ganado, who had great problem with the lich Faranach and his undead armies in Shadowflare keep, nowadays known as Merian. The Judge had also deemed the undead horde as a great threat to law and order in the world, and thus Knights of Trueblade began their campaign against the chosen of the Grasp of the Grave.
It took them over two years to finally eliminate the lich and most of his troops, and they did this with heavy losses. Out of the seven original members only four survived. Everwood himself fell while landing lethal blow to Faranach. After the death of their leader the remaining knights kept on working for the ideals the order had been built upon.
