The Knights of Dragonsbane were founded in 1993. There were three orders formed, the Knights of the White Dragon, the Knights of the Red Dragon, and the Knights of the Silver Dragon.


No more Knights of Dragonsbane are being made at this time due to Lord Stirling having retired from the Realms without handing off the ability to knight new members.

The Knights of Dragonsbane (order of the red dragons) formed the Knights of Creathorne in 1997.

What does your knighthood stand for?

The motto is : Varya I Milya ”Your position is a place of service, you hold this honor to do for others what they cannot do for themselves.”

What are your tenets?

The tenets are not shared outsider the order.

Did you have a traditional Knightly power, if so what was it?

The knightly power is only known OOC, no one, including the knights, knows how it works IC. Originally it was that as long as the knights do not scalp they cannot be scalped (at that time you had to carry a scalp if you wanted to scalp in the game), then due to a rule change making all players to have to carry a scalp the power later changed to that the knights can only be scalped by magical weapon blows and or the game rules (such as being dead at the end of an event).

What do you look for when selecting squires?
1.The right person
2.Scalping is not permitted 3.They cannot be a member of another knighthood including honorary members.

What is your squiring process like?
Tasks given vary by individual.

The order may only have one paige or one squire at a time. Both of these are two year paths, together making up four of the five years. If someone skips the paige section then the individual, after completing their squireship, will spend two years as an esquire to account for the two years missed (this is rare).
