Members of the Knights in Silver
The Knights in Silver were the army of Silverymoon and it was their duty to patrol and defend the city against orcs and other dangers.History
The Knights in Silver were led by Besnell of Silverymoon, an elven fighter up until his death in the war between Mithral Hall and Menzoberranzan. After the war was won he was replaced by his second in command Terrien Doucard, a half-elf soldier from Silverymoon.[5] Later, Terrien led Stumpet Rakingclaw, the dwarven high priestess of Mithral Hall to save the injured Lady Alustriel higher up on the slopes of Keeper’s Dale. In 1372 DR, the commander of the Knights in Silver was Sernius Alathar.Geography
A dozen Knights in Silver guarded Hawk’s Nest, the watchtower near the top of Silverymoon Pass during the months when the road from Silverymoon to Sundabar was in heavy use protecting the road’s traffic from monsters and bandits.Allies
They were aided by many wizards and contingents of Harper agents.Recruitment
There were two ways of becoming a Knight in Silver: volunteering, or receiving a commission from the High Mage. The former was by far the more common method. When volunteering for duty an aspirant presented themselves to the Recruiting Master Mazillor Shatterstave in the city of Silverymoon. Master Shatterstave received applicants only once a month, so if an aspirant missed the recruiting period they must wait til the next month to apply again.

• Squire: Rank 1. You have been accepted as a squire by one of the Knights in Silver, who has taken responsibility for training you in the chivalric ways of the order and its traditions. • Knight: Rank 3. You have completed your squire’s training, and given your spurs and everbright treated armor. You are gifted with the benefits of a full knight, but also the burdens of its responsibilities. • Commander: Rank 10. You are the Commander of the Knights in Silver, responsible for the operation of the order and the defense of Silverymoon. You answer to Lady Alustriel of Silverymoon, and are part of her Council.“By Moon and by Star, by the Bridge Unseen, and by the Lady’s Silver Tresses.”The Knights in Silver are the permanent guardians of Silverymoon, often encountered riding patrol within the city and its environs. Around seven hundred strong, they received their name from a ballad penned by Mintiper Moonsilver – as with many phrases around the Realms first spoken by the Lunargent Bard, the name simply “seemed right.”
Overview
The Knights in Silver are known for their sparkling armor, firm discipline on and off the field of battle, and their poise and decorum. The Knights in Silver are practically a fairy- tale army, with their reputation for being dashing, chivalrous men and witty, beautiful women. Though certain individuals do not always uphold this lofty reputation, as a whole the Knights take pride in it and there is strong pressure from within the ranks to maintain this image.Goals and Philosophy
The Knights in Silver take their reputation as «fairy tale» knights very seriously. The highest mode of chivalric thought is their ideal, with the bringing of defense of the defenseless, joy to the melancholy, hope to the hopeless, and freedom to the enslaved as their highest calling. They are charged to be compassionate and valorous, scrupulous and honest, virtuous and good. Of course, not every knight can measure up to these ideals, but as a body, the knights encourage and assist their own in achieving that, and scrupulously police their own who fall short — or who fly in the face of their philosophy. Knights in Silver are expected, above all things, to do the following: • To preserve Silverymoon’s safety, and to sanctify its way of life. • To defend, uphold, and spread the virtues of freedom, joy, wonder, and love. • To stop threats to civilization and preserve art and culture.Activities
The Knights in Silver are questing knights as well as military knights, so they may be given specific missions in addition to their standard military service. Quests undertaken by Knights in Silver might include the following: • To ride patrol with other Knights in Silver. • To seek out and slay an enemy of Silverymoon, or rescue goodly folk from such. • To act as a guardian for a valued ally of Lady Alustriel, or to act as her representative.Perks
Knights in Silver in good standing might receive the following benefits: • Barracks Access: Rank 1+. A Knight in Silver dwelling in Silverymoon may use the barracks of the Knights in Silver for his lifestyle. Though this is a Poor Lifestyle for squires and a Modest Lifestyle for knights, it is provided to knights at no cost. • Mentor Knight: Rank 1-2. Squires of the order are assigned to a knight who acts as their mentor, teaching them the ways of the order and its tradition, and educating them in fighting skills. They also receive a riding horse, a longsword, and a chain shirt. • The Silver Anointing: Rank 3+. The squire becomes a knight and receives the Silver Anointing from Lady Alustriel herself. The character is acknowledged as a full knight of the order. They receive their «spurs and plate» — a suit of either half plate or plate (treated with everbright as part of its construction) and a warhorse with a set of chain barding. It also comes with a set of symbolic spurs that mark the new knight. • Recruiting Commander (Title): Rank 7+. xImportant Members
xxx Barastir, the Knights In Silver and the Spellguard are the elite "heavy hitters" of Silverymoon's defenders and expeditionary forces; the daily guards (of gates, walls, civic building entrances) and street police are in addition to the Knights, and beneath them in rank (not formally, but in terms of authority; any of the Silverwatch or the Moon Garrison who are given an order by a Knight or a member of the Spellguard will obey it unhesitatingly). However, the Knights in Silver can and do "muck in" on mundane guarding work, on a regular rota; they're not haughty sorts. They do provide the fast cavalry, and patrol Everlund and the environs of Silverymoon on horseback regularly.

Otherwise the Knights and the Spellguard are the only official defenders of Silverymoon. Джерело: <http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=18944&SearchTerms=BOOKS> The only mention of Silverymoon is that Aleina Brightlance has the title of "Emissary of Silverymoon and Everlund" and hangs out with Drizzt and company for a bit in the early part of the novel before apparently returning to Silverymoon.

But it was roughly around the summer/fall of 1485, before the Council of Dwarven Kings in Felbarr. According to Archmage, Bruenor was still recruiting for the dwarven march to Gauntylgrym in the winter of 1485. Queen Dagnabbit was formally crowned ruler of Mithril Hall in the 2nd month of 1486 while the Council of Dwarven Kings met in Felbarr. The march to Gauntylgrym was fairly long and slow, with several stops (Mirabar, Longsaddle, then they moved over to Neverwinter, departing Longsaddle in midwinter). They arrived at Neverwinter "on the last day of Eleasis in the Year of the Nether Mountain Scrolls" (aka 1486). They then marched back to Gauntylgrym and took the upper halls. That seems to be right about where Out of The Abyss is set as well, as part of that adventure is making your way up to where the dwarves have reclaimed part of Gauntylgrym. The epilogue of Archmage happens on the 15th day of Nightal, 1486. um.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=20489&SearchTerms=Silverymoon>Fall of Thultanthar in 1487
