Silver Phoenix Knight Image

You belong to the Silver Phoenix Knights, an order sworn to fight injustices in the far realms. In your eyes this goes without question and is a vital and honorable endeavor. Faerûn has a wide variety of knightly orders. While the Silver Phoenix Knights are small in number, they make up for it with their actions and responsibilities.

The Silver Phoenix Knights were created by the nobleman Cornelius of House Wavesilver, in Waterdeep, to combat the unspeakable evils of slavery, tyranny and the undead. This came about after finding himself in the Dread Realm under the control of the vampire lord Strahd Von Zarovich. It was there in Barovia, Cornelius Wavesilver was subjected to many horrors, the love of his life slain, innocents  condemned and killed, happiness and hope outright crushed, the folly of celestials, many companions and allies murdered and corrupted, and the trauma continued. Yet in spite of all this he also found help from the most unlikely of places, he discovered friendship in the form of a crazed goblin warlock by the name of Lulu, the protection from a construct from a distant world and many others from lands afar. When he was cast back to Waterdeep through the spell casting of the nobleman Oliviae Dumount of Neverwinter, Cornelious vowed to continue his training and ensure others do not suffer the same fate, and thus the Silver Phoenix Knights were born.

Silver Phoenix Knights are not only trained in the arts of fighting and the arcane but also tactics, morality, responsibility, selflessness, defense, honor and sacrifice. They endeavor to bridge alliances amongst the populations of Faerûn, whether it is goblin, giant, human, fey or others. They will strip down establishments of tyranny and slavery while snuffing out any presence of undead.

You will find primarily fighters, paladins, wizards, sorcerors, and hexblade warlocks among their ranks with many overlaps. It is also interesting that this order has no deity to speak of but prefer to channel their powers from within. There is a handful of deities that the order may aid such as Lathander, Ilmater, Tyr and Torm. 

The Silver Phoenix Knights are known for taking action and doing whatever is necessary to carry out their goal. They will aid any in need and will travel great distances. These intelligent arcane knights will typically travel alone and make companions along their journeys, forging new friendships and alliances.

Feature: Knightly Regard

You receive shelter and succor from members of your knightly order and those who are sympathetic to its aims. If aiding a deity, you can gain aid from temples and other religious communities of said deity. Knight can get help from the community—whether a lone settlement or a great nation—that they serve, and knights can find help from those they have aided in pursuit of their ideals, and those who share those ideals.

This help comes in the form of shelter and meals, and healing when appropriate, as well as occasionally risky assistance, such as a band of local citizens rallying to aid a sorely pressed knight in a fight, or those who support the order helping to smuggle a knight out of town when he or she is being hunted unjustly.

 
Suggested Characteristics

Your bond almost always involves the order to which you belong (or at least key members of it), and it is highly unusual for a knight’s ideal not to reflect the agenda, sentiment, or philosophy of one’s order.
