The Seventh Sword of Light

The Seventh Sword of Light

A military order that place humanity above all others and does so without regard to the method.

The Seventh Sword of Light is a human only Para-Knighthood group led by the zealous Antoine de Chamount. SSoL’s core belief is that humans deserve a greater role in the world community, and that the current system in the major human lands are so bound by bureaucracy and infiltrated by non-humans that true human leadership cannot obtain the greater glory.SSoL supports the principle that any methods of advancing humanity's ascension are entirely justified, including illegal or dangerous rituals, terrorist activities, sabotage and assassination. Members of the Seventh Sword of Light accept that these methods are brutal, but believe history will vindicate them.

Nevertheless, in order to survive and gain influence in the world they have become mercenaries that take jobs that will allow them access to new regions for recruitment, money and supplies. Over the years the Knighthood has grown and now has a full company. Mostly made up of noblemen sons who cannot inherit, the downtrodden and those sick of non-human deciding laws for humanity. They are an effective, if brashly unpopular (in most areas), fighting force.

The Seventh Sword of Light was named after a famous bardic poem from antiquity called “The First Sword of Light.” This poem is about how, after suffering major defeats the first major human civilization was near destruction at the hand of it’s non-human neighbors. Banding together under a unified code of conduct the last group of human fighters formed the first knighthood and, against much greater odds in a nearly hopeless situation, defeated their foes to allow humans to establish their place in the world.

The Sword of light is built upon The Four Pillars:

The Knights Banneret: Smallest of the four pillars the Knights Banneret are a true heavy cavalry the medieval sense. War horses, heavy lances and two handed great swords this shock troop is made up of mostly nobles and the light’s elite fighters. Heavily armed and armored, they take no quarter and expect none in return. Knight’s are often given their leave untilled called upon.

The Aegis of Dawn: Man-at-arms and the corp infantry of the Sword of Light. They are the largest group and have two units. Spearmen and sword and shield. Most of the clerics are found in this rank to enhance the fighting capability of a group mostly made up common men.

The Seekers of Light: Seekers are a group of individuals who function as deep undercover scouts, saboteurs and assassins. They handle the unsavory parts of Sword of Lights agenda and handle everything from recruiting new members or blackmail the wealthy. Nothing is off limits.

The Auxiliaries: The old, infirm and non-combat troops they functions as quartermasters and handle supplies and logistics.
