The Order of the Silver Eagle
These noble warriors clad in gleaming armor hail from the Aladonian Empire with the blessings of the Church of Menekris upon their heads. Those of this order are tasked with wandering the land as knights errant, relying on their judgement, bravery, and fidelity to their code of chivalry to guide them in defeating evildoers.
The Empire says that it sends its greatest order of knights out to protect, not just their empire, but the world of men from evil, as Menekris loves all his people. However many suspect they send these formidable warriors out as missionaries of a sort. When a village is saved by a brave, kind knight of the Holy Empire, who lives up to the stories, it casts the Empire in a brilliant light.
The knights go through vigorous schooling before they leave their home, they are chosen from a young age and trained to be curtious and respectful, they are taught the procedures of different courts and the cultures of the common people of the world. They are trained to hold back anger and be proud, yet humble, though that does not stop people from not liking them for their peity.
Knights of the Silver Eagle are trained to be leaders that lead from the front, they themselves committing brave deeds in battle. Though their words can be elequent, a knight prefers to lead through their deeds which can awaken reserves of courage and conviction in allies that they never suspected they had.

That creature can make one melee or ranged weapon attack with its reaction, provided that it can see or hear you.

Beginning at 15th level, you can extend the benefit of your Indomitable feature to an ally. When you decide to use Indomitable to reroll an Intelligence, a Wisdom, or a Charisma saving throw and you aren’t incapacitated, you can choose one ally within 60 feet of you that also failed its saving throw against the same effect. If that creature can see or hear you, it can reroll its saving throw and must use the new roll.Consider
- If you are going to take this Archtype at 3rd level you would need to have decided at 1st level. You would still be considered a Knight of the Silver Eagle, however you would not start to gain their abilities until level 3.
- Though the Empire promotes helping your fellow man, they aren't as kind to certain races, such as Tieflings. Decide how you feel about these people, how has being raised with those prejudices affected you?
- Though you are ordered to "go forth and destroy evil" that is very general, many times Silver Eagle Knights will have a specific quest or mission they wish to complete while on their journey, sometimes they have a list.
