The Knights Incandescent are a progressive and effective new order of warriors sworn to combat demons and creatures of the Hells in all their forms. They decorate their armour with radiant colours, enchanted to blaze brilliantly in the presence of evil.
The Knights were founded by a rogue Solar who grew frustrated with the ways of the Heavenly Choir, and wished to see more direct mortal action against evil outsiders. Unlike many other knightly orders, they reject tradition and sombreness, preferring to live "out loud" and in plain view. They are sometimes rightly called "brash" or "arrogant" by others, but are undeniably popular, especially among young adults. Statistics: The Knights Incandescent are an order of Paladins and holy warriors, mostly young and confident. Their founder, the Solar Raduriel, walks among them in human form, and personally shepherds the growth and teachings of new members. Those invited to walk with the order for some time as 'potentials' often feel overwhelming excitement and humility at the honour of being called. They wear armour which glows in the presence of evil outsiders, and believe that to cover this would be denying their own calling. This makes them not great at any missions which require subterfuge, but popular, charismatic, and highly visible warriors of good. They also engage in many works of social justice, such as sheltering and feeding the homeless, and advancing civilization's tolerances. How you can use the Knights Incandescent in your game: - A player character may be invited to join the order as a 'potential', and might even be interviewed by Raduriel herself. She is probing and very insightful, and will weed out undesirable candidates. She does have a weakness, which is her prejudice against Tieflings and the like, which might cause friction in the order itself. - A chapter-house of the Knights Incandescent is located in a city under siege. Although the Knights do battle against the invaders, they are also concerned with the damage being done to the common folk of the city, and might petition adventurers to assist with re-homing them, or even escorting them to safety. - A player character might be descended from an early member of the Knights Incandescent, who may pursue the player as a potential legacy member.
