HistoryThe Knights Panther claim to be one of the two largest Orders of Knights in the World. They are avowed enemies of Necromancy and are dedicated to the eradication of mutants and the preservation of racial purity within the Kingdom. To a man, they are renowned for their obsession with racial purity, and their fanaticism in hunting down mutants. Their code of honour requires them to never suffer a mutant or other bearer of the "mark of death" to live.
The Knights Panther claim to be the oldest of the Knightly orders and trace their existence back to the great wars of the East nearly a thousand years ago. During those wars Knights from all over the Kingdom invaded the lands of the East, first driving them from the south of Estalia, and subsequently carrying the battle into Araby itself. The returning knights brought back many great treasures plundered from the palaces of the Sultans of Araby, including gold and silver, precious gems, silks, furs, and exotic animals the like of which had never been seem in the Kingdom. Amongst these many creatures were panthers, tigers and leopards liberated from the extensive pleasure gardens of Istrabul, as well as furs which they proudly displayed as cloaks and saddlecloths, or decoration for their helms. When the knights paraded through the streets of the cities of the Kingdom many did so accompanied by one of these marvellous creatures padding beside him, led by golden chain. This created such an abiding impression that the Knightly Order founded by these returning crusaders became known as the Knights Panther.
Some of the panthers carried off by the victorious Knights were eventually to become fur saddle cloths or trimming for fur cloaks, and this helped to reinforce the association. Today the original panthers and even their hides have long gone, but the memory of the Eastern wars is maintained by the Knights Panther.
