The Eagle Knights
9 years ago
General
The Eagle Knights were founded on the bonds of brotherhood between knights from neighboring countries.
They have existed for centuries in the shadows, only to be known by kings and higher up nobles.
Their reasoning for coming to be is after being cast out or left to die on the fields of war, they show up and ask for your honor in return they give you pride and a family of kin.
They're made up of every species and size, the first king was the one who used them a mercenaries in The Original War. They came from shadows, equipped with a ornate black yew longbow and either an ebony short sword with an eagle head as the pommel or the darker side of the group carry a crude rough battle axe made from the same ebony but made so crude and harshly to symbolize their hatred and vengeance that the axe itself is tinted red.
Needless to say that The Eagle Knights were extremely effective, that's how the first kings' blood stayed in power for centuries.
But after the war they disappeared back into the shadows, forging their own kingdom deep in an underground oasis, given to them as a thank you token from the first kings' youngest daughter who was a druid in her past life.
The cave was nothing special, but the water in the oasis was so blue in puddles it could be mistaken for the sky. The castle they built was massive to accommodate for their growing numbers. And in their fashion of black with gold ornate filings and what not.
Over the years they've grown over three times their size and picked up many accomplished blacksmiths over the years.
Their armor is always modified for their multi species brothers and sisters. Some carry beautifully crafted shields other carry pairs of swords that are so elegant they look as if even a king couldn't obtain them. And their signature weapon, the black yew longbow, with silver and gold wood grain inlays, the draw point encased with a gold crafted break leading feathers back onto the bow. At the ends are silver talons reinforced to the bow so if close quarter combat is needed.
. A secret underground kingdom, hidden from the people who have deserted, rejected, or cast out. We are made of many shapes and sizes but we are the ones who survived, we are the legends, we are the shadows, we are legion, we are The Eagle Knights.
Thank you for reading, and yes I will be making a group of you're interested in becoming a shadow.
