Forming the backbone of the Zexen Confederacy's powerful army, the Zexen Knights are the Confederacy's elite fighting force. They are commanded by the Six Mighty Knights, who in turn are bound to heed the Zexen Council's wishes. Young knights in training eager to become part of the Zexen Knights become squires, who serve a specific knight until graduating into full knighthood themselves. Zexen Knights are often viewed badly by the Grasslanders and call them the "Ironheads".
Overview[]
Appearance[]
The Zexen Knights are easily distinguished due to their uniforms, a full suit of armour with a large orange or purple circular band of cloth bordered with a yellow pattern.
History[]
Due to the turbulent nature of the Zexen Confederacy's existence due to their geographic and political positions, despite the country only being established in SY 420, the Zexen Knights have fought in many skirmishes, especially with the Grassland tribes. IN SY 475 the Zexen Knights fought in the Second Fire Bringer War, originally fighting against Grassland forces they believed had betrayed a peace treaty with Zexen before uniting with the Grassland in an effort to defend the area from Harmonia and, later, the Destroyers. With the help of the Knights, the Fire Bringer managed to defeat the Destroyers, but peace for the knights would only last until SY 478, when they became part of the border skirmish that would become the Tinto-Zexen War.
