White Knights
The White Knights served as the principal military organization under Aindranla Athomath during her rule as the Emerald Queen of Alagor. Drawn initially from the Royal Centurions, they were restructured into a new force directly loyal to Aindranla following her swift capture of Athomathia in 24 BFE. Their role extended beyond the battlefield; they functioned as the enforcement arm of her magistrate system, patrolled cities, supervised regional governors, and ensured compliance with royal edicts. Whether posted in city squares or guarding senatorial chambers, their presence became a constant under the Emerald Reign.
Structure
The White Knights operated as a centralized hierarchical military order under direct command of Queen Aindranla. Their structure included:
Lord Marshal of the White Order – Supreme military commander beneath the Queen
High Commanders – Each overseeing operations in one of the Seven Kingdoms
Knight-Captains – Regional enforcers and battlefield officers
Knight-Sergeants – Squad leaders and urban enforcement heads
Knight-Sentinels – Standard enlisted infantry
Knight-Pages – Trainees and logistical aides, often young initiates or conscripted wards
Public Agenda
Enforcing the Queen's law in all Seven Kingdoms
Suppressing rebellion, unrest, and unauthorized militia groups
Supporting the High Magistrates in governance
Providing personal security to Queen Aindranla and her inner circle
Executing public demonstrations of power to deter dissent
Assets
Tens of thousands of professional soldiers outfitted with standardized armor and weapons
Central command barracks in every major capital of Alagor
Access to royal logistics, food storage, supply lines, and quartermaster depots
A sprawling network of riding posts, armories, and courier towers
A dedicated training compound known as the Sentinel Ring, located outside Athomathia
History
Formed in 24 BFE following Aindranla's seizure of Athomathia, the White Knights grew from a restructured Royal Centurion force into a intra-realm military presence. As each kingdom fell, the Knights were deployed as occupying peacekeepers and internal police. They were instrumental in the dismantling of the Praetorian Order and remaining Centurion forces of the Kingdoms.
By 22 BFE, they had solidified control across all major cities and strategic chokepoints. Their presence in courtrooms, tribunals, and Senate halls was as symbolic as it was tactical. As Aindranla’s magistrate system took hold, the White Knights ensured its uninterrupted execution.
They remained a powerful force throughout the Emerald Reign until 18 BFE.
Disbandment
The order was shattered following the fall of Aindranla during the Alagorian Civil War. In the final siege of Athomathia, a majority of the remaining White Knights were either killed in combat, captured, or surrendered. Those who laid down arms were imprisoned or put to trial. The order was declared illegal by the reinstated Senate, and all its armaments and regalia were ordered destroyed. Remnants vanished into exile or assumed new identities.
Demography and Population
At their peak, the White Knights numbered between 145,000 and 160,000 active personnel, drawn from across Alagor. Recruitment was initially limited to Athomathian-born soldiers, but later expanded to include conscripts and volunteers from the Seven Kingdoms. Knights were required to renounce prior allegiances and swear loyalty to the Emerald Throne.
Territories
While the White Knights held no sovereign territory, they maintained enforcement zones in each of the Seven Kingdoms. Garrisons were established in major cities, border posts, and provincial capitals.
