Harvest Knights

Originally the knights were a small monastic order who protected traveling peasants during the harvest season. Over time their reputation spread outside of their home of Regensmark. During the chaos of the fall of the Silverbloods the harvest knights did their best to protect commoners. In recognition of this (and the fact that they failed to answer a Silverblood summons) Empress Rhoska elevated them to the status of a cult and gifted them with knowledge of farming. Since then, the Harvest Knights have expanded across the Golden Sun Empire and are used as auxiliaries in war. While some modern critics might say that Rhoska has diverted the Knights from their holy mission and instead turned them into merely another company of soldiers, these people are misguided. Despite the best intentions of the order, false accusations of spying have forced their members to remain inside the Golden Sun Empire. The sight of their insignia of a sword crossed with a pitchfork and flashing gilded armor brings comfort to travelers throughout the empire.
