A World of Magic, Adventure and
Fantastic Creatures!

Hello reader! Thank you for picking this supplement, I
sincerely hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed
writing it.

One of the things I enjoy the most about role playing
games is reading new monster entries all the time.
Possibly you also enjoy doing it and that’s why you
chose this supplement. I hope you enjoy the fantastic
descriptions I wrote for the knights. This series of Tiny
Tomes of monsters is the most freedom I have given
myself writing monsters lore.

If you enjoy this supplement and you like fantasy
worlds with lots of magic and amazing creatures, you
can check my previous titles, some of these are
inspired by the World of Hereva, based on the
webcomic Pepper&Carrot, created by David Revoy.

Below you will find links to some of these titles.

characteristics of low-level knights is always the desire
to climb ranks, obtain prestige and recognition of their
works. However, in the order of enlightenment, these
desires often take precedence over the natural
instincts of survival, turning them into a kind of
fanatics who seek the good and prosperity of the order
and its interests before their own.

Knight of Dawn

The second rank in the order of enlightenment, the
Knights of Dawn are the protectors of the hopeless, the
weak, and the disadvantaged warriors. Its name refers
to the end of the War in the Mountains when a group of
knights of the Owl came to the aid of the Trasite
Kingdom army and despite being at a huge numerical
disadvantage they managed to save them from the
attack of the Atatia Empire.

Order of Enlightenment 6

Knight of the Golden Lance

Knights of this rank in the order of enlightenment are
easily recognizable by their gleaming golden spear. The
Knights of the Golden Spear are the last of the lower
ranks in this order, and the color of their spear shows
that they are on trial to receive that recognition that
very few achieve. While there are thousands of knights
of the lower ranks, there aren’t many ones who reach
the four ranks above this one, but even fewer are in
this rank as there’s always an exact number of 12
knights. A new knight of the golden spear can only
arrive if one of the current knights is appointed
Protector of Light, or Commander of Light, or if one of
them dies.

The spears carried by these knights are sacred, but
they don’t keep them during the higher ranks. There
are only 12 of these spears since the order was founded
and they are the same ones that have passed through
the hands of all the high-ranking knights there have
been. These were the spears with which aspiring
knights were originally tested before they were so
many that the rank of Knight of the Owl was created.

The golden spears are protected by the Golden
Crystal, they are indestructible, and cannot be created
anymore. From this level they can use their spears to
cast a special attack conferred by The Light. At this
level, when they just gain the power, they need to
carry their golden spear to use it, but at higher levels,
the power is already part of them and they can activate
it with any spear they carry.

Knight Protector of Light

This is another transitional rank and not all knights go
through this one. A Knight Protector of Light is a guard
in the Owleye Stronghold in charge of protecting the
Golden Crystal. During the time they serve as
Protectors of the Light they live in the stronghold and
not much happens with them, except for the rare
occasions when they have had attacks. But that has not
happened for several centuries now.

7 Order of Enlightenment

Knight Commander of Light

This is the first of the three original ranks of this order.
Currently, the main mission of these knights is to
defend the world from the Order of the Armageddon,
which has proven to be a very difficult job. On their
missions they are accompanied by Knights of the Owl.
They rarely fight in the places attacked by the evil
Order, but rather attack specific groups of these
terrible creatures.

Knight Grand Commander of Dawn

When there are sieges to large cities, attacks on one of
the capitals of the world, or it is necessary to attack
evil kingdoms that have become too powerful, the
Knight Grand Commanders of Dawn are the ones who
lead armies of Knights of Dawn to help the kingdoms in
danger in these kinds of wars.

These knights live traveling all over the world
helping, not only big cities, but also small towns that
are about to be destroyed. Many times they are the last
hope of these people.

Due to the relatively limited number of these
knights, a Grand Commander of Dawn is always
accompanied by Knights of Dawn, but not always a
group of Knights of Dawn includes a Grand
Commander.

Knight of Enlightenment

The highest level of the Order of Enlightenment are
known as the Knights of Enlightenment, they are
legendary knights that few people have seen. There are
only a few dozen of them, which might sound like a lot
for any other high rank of legendary knights, but
considering that there are thousands of Knights of the
Owl around the world, very few reach this higher rank.

Legend says these knights are invincible, the light
protects them and doesn’t let them die. The power of
the light from their spears paralyzes their opponents
who have no chance against them.

Perhaps the best known knight of enlightenment is
Sir Gir Falkerstone, Lord Beleanor’s successor in charge
of the entire organization.

Knight of the Golden Scale

The first dragons to answer Draggach’s call to be part
of this chivalric order were the golden dragons. Self-
appointed the highest rank of the Order of the Scale,
despite technically all of them having the same level
within the organization, they are the ones who prepare
the attack and defense groups when the time comes to
engage in a battle.

Order of the Halo

Windfell’s sky is constantly flown over by these
humanoid-shaped creatures with long feathered wings.
Even so, they are seldom seen on the streets of the city,
and they almost never talk to anyone. The angels of the
Order of the Halo are mythical creatures who always
carry a shield and a sword, and wear silver armor with
blue ornaments.

As benevolent creatures always seeking justice, the
angels were the first chosen to help protect the Ichor
of Eternity. The gods of the higher planes thought it
necessary to send this help in the form of an army of
angels, and for several centuries these angels have
protected the legendary artifact.

This chivalric order is made up of three ranks.
Angels never change ranks, they blindly follow their
orders and never fail to carry them out unless they are
eliminated. Positions in this order are permanent and
there are no replacements for angels who die in the
line of duty, something that has happened very rarely
during Windfell’s centuries of existence.

Combat

In combat, a Knight of the Halo wields a magical silver
sword that activates a Searing Blast that can slash an
opponent 15 feet away, dealing radiant damage at the
same time.

In addition to their sword, the knights of this order
can use a wind glaive, which is literally made of air to
make the same attacks as the rest of the Soldiers of the
Wind. This glaive is the one they use for their parry
ability.

17 Soldiers of the Wind

Knight of the Shining Shield

This is the largest rank in this order. Knights of the
Shining Shield number in the dozens and exist not only
in Windfell, they are also the ones that normally travel
to other planes when needed. If it’s necessary to travel
in group, they are usually accompanied by a Knight of
Splendor.

Knights of this rank carry a larger shield than the
other ranks and don’t wear a helmet. Unlike the other
two ranks of this order, these have either a male or a
female appearance, despite the fact that, like most
angels, they are genderless.

Knight of Splendor

The Knights of Splendor are the most commonly seen
flying over the city of Windfell. They are distinguished
by their much longer wings and by wearing helmets all
the time. Like most angels, they are genderless. Their
armors are also long and shiny.

Knight Protector of Windfell

These knights are the most important protectors of
Windfell, they never leave this city, not even in
extreme occasions, because their main mission (and
therefore their reason of their existance) is to protect
the city and the Ichor of Eternity.
