Order of Clairei Fields
More actions
The Order of Clairei Fields is a [Knight] Order from Izril. They are collectively also called Clairei Knights.
Overview edit edit source
The Order of Clairei Fields is a very large [Knight] Order, numbering a thousand and two hundred members across Izril,[1] but they are not as rigorously trained in combat compared with Terandrian Knight Orders.
Nevertheless, the Clairei Knights specialize in speed on horseback[2], so despite all their armor, they are good at fast skirmishes and speedy cavalry charges. Their armor is enchanted to weigh less, while providing the same protection as regular armor.[3] More equipment may include sword, spear[2], lances,[3] recurve bow, and a horse whistle that when blown causes their mount to stop and rear up is it was stolen.[4] The average level of its members used to be level 22.[5]
There order usually patrols the roads and keeps transports safe.[5] Junior Knights are often tasked with message delivery.[2]
Their headquarters is located as far as six days travel on horseback from Reizmelt; probably to the east or northeast from the town.[2][6]
Chronology edit edit source
The [Knights] of the Order participated in Tyrion Veltras' siege of Liscor. Cavalry was crucial on herding Veltras' Goblin vanguard towards the direction Veltras wished them to run.[7] At least once, they clashed with Garen Redfang's Carn Wolf [Riders]. In combat of 80 disciplined goblin riders versus 12 Clairei Knights, 53 Goblins and 4 Knights survived the skirmish.[3]
The Order of Clairei Fields challenged the supporters of Magnolia Reinhart after the siege of Liscor failed due to her scheming.[2] Most members of the Order were taken by surprise when fellow [Knights], like the Knights of the Petal, took that message unkindly.[6]
Colors and Coat of Arms edit edit source
The Order of Clairei Knights has as its insignia a stylized stalk of wheat blowing on an open field, with the wheat grains sharp like swords.[3][2]
The Clairei [Knights] wear bright green chest plates with their insignia etched on the front in silver. Their helmets are the same green, deep and majestic as a deep forest, and sometimes gilded with gold. Their shoulders, arms, and leggings are clad in bright sapphire blue.[3][2]
Their horses are similarly adorned.[2]
