Vigil Knights

The Vigil Knights are an order of knights who follow a strict code of conduct prescribed in the Vigil Codex. They are based in the Vigil Keep. The order possessed the Outcast Blade and the Sacred Helm, and tends over a certain Holy Flame.

's father was a member of the order, until he was executed for violating the Vigil Codex. Sven later joined the Vigil Knights without revealing his identity. The Vigil knights considered Sven's existence an "abomination", perhaps because of his mixed-race background, although this is uncertain. The order holds an In-Swearing ceremony for its initiates, in which Sven was about to participate following thirteen years of study with the order. On that day, however, Sven broke the order's Sacred Helm, took the Outcast Blade for himself, and burnt the Vigil Codex in the Holy Flame. Sven's iron gauntlet, with which he uses to cast, was also taken from the order. To this day, the Vigil Knights are still seeking to reclaim the Outcast Blade from Sven.
