The Red Knights

The Red Knights are an elite order of knights that operate out of the Soltus Kingdom.

History

The Red Knights were founded during the First Age of War to be frontline cavalry. These soldiers were named Red Knights due to the amount of bloodshed that would coat their armor during battles and were the first to charge into enemy forces.
During the Second Age of War, Soltus adapted to add a war mage to each battalion to help make them even more formidable in combat. These mages became known as 'Red Mages,' and with this coupling, the Red Knight battalions became nearly unstoppable.
During the Age of Growth, the Red Knights were relegated to being the protectors of Alverton and were occasionally used to handle clearing out wilderness areas were powerful monsters lurked to help Soltus expand its borders.
Currently, Red Knights are still trained at the Redgate Military Academy of Warfare, but less recruits are accepted and it has become more of a prestigious title to show one's rigorous training. The core battalion of those that are left are housed in Alterton.
