The Dark Knights

N'Zembe doesn't actually have horses, but it will have some creatures that fill a similar role on various planets. I haven't really gotten to creating them yet, so I mention horses in this article. That's the closest thing to what will be accurate once I have done more creating.
A group of Knights in the Vunda Vrasrujunari who protect the Dark Prophet. They work closely with him, escorting him through the fortress and going with him on any tasks outside of the fortress.

Composition

Manpower

12 to 15 excellent Knights are with the Dark Prophet at any given time, sometimes more depending on need.   In total, there are about 30-50 Dark Knights in the Vunda Vrasrujunari as a whole. They work in shifts to allow for training upkeep, rest, and meals.

Equipment

They have special armor that is decorated differently than the rest of the Knights. They have weapons and shields. They often have keys to various parts of the fortress.

Weaponry

They have spears and swords, they also have access to bows and arrows. They usually only have the bows if they are traveling with the Dark Prophet outside of the fortress.

Vehicles

They have a horse-drawn carriage they protect when the Dark Prophet is traveling. One of them drives, one of them rides inside the carriage, and everyone else rides their mounts stationed around the carriage.

Structure

Everyone answers directly to the Dark Prophet and no one else. Sometimes he will make one of them the lead on an expedition or during a situation, but they always answer to him.

Training

They spend at least two hours (up to six) training every day or night. When they are in the fortress they rotate out to do their training.    To join the Dark Knights, they must be found to be excellent by the Dark Prophet. It is a role given to experienced Knights in the Vunda Vrasrujunari, and comes with a lot of honor and prestige. It takes years of training, and they have to be able to hold their own against a current Dark Knight in order to formally join.

Logistics

Auxilia

The Dark Knights can call on the other Knights for additional assistance in order to protect the Dark Prophet.

Upkeep

They eat a lot of food because of their intensive training regimen.

Recruitment

The pool of recruits is Knights in the Vunda Vrasrujunari with at least 5 years of experience. They must be recognized as excellent by the Dark Prophet, the current Dark Knights, and be able to hold their own against one of the Dark Knights in on-on-one combat.

History

Historical loyalties

They are loyal to the Vunda Vrasrujunari and in particular the Dark Prophet.
