East Light - Chivalry at Sea!
Posted by Romulius on 09/24/21
Knightly orders are typically fare associated with the mainland of Arvum, distant thoughts to most of those who spend their lives sailing the Lycene or Mourning Seas.
The Order of East Light rejects the notion, a proud revival of the chivalric traditions that once existed in the Mourning Isles. Its reach extends beyond the domains of Islanders, though, and today the Order is active as far as the Arvani reaches of the Eventide Vast - and we recruit from the coasts of every fealty. Our ties to the water make our 'quests' relatively distinct from what you might find in more landlocked traditions, but longstanding friendships with the rest of Arvum's knightly orders mean that we are never beyond lending our help to matters ashore, or to accepting help from those outside of the Order.
As far as plot ties, OOEL has a rich history that we're discovering along with connections to a number of Arvum's coastal holdings as well as Faith-based knightly orders despite its own secular leanings. Beyond that, we've recently had a number of internal plots with more on the horizon that we've been fortunate enough to drag our knights and friends along for - if you have interest in hunting sea monsters (the fishermen are probably just exaggerating about how big the fish was, right?) or pirates, it's a great opportunity for martial or adventure-ish characters to stretch their sea legs and get involved.
We're happy to bring on new members as existing knights or as squires, and we're looking for folks from any fealty that fancy themselves particularly seaworthy (or not, if you like writing about how green your character is around the gills). If you're interested in learning more or would like to get involved, please don't hesitate to reach out to either Romulius or Sorrel IC or OOC and we'll talk it out!
