Memorials
Throughout the history of the order,
many Knights, Companions and Squires have given their lives in acts of
heroism, fighting the forces of evil and corruption, and keeping the
people of Edreja safe.
Sir Hargrim Vorall, (d. 1107): Master of Arms, Sir
Hargrim sought out the Order after a Knight of Celestial saved his
life. As a Squire he proved his valour by plunging heedless of danger
into Deep Orst to save a small girl, and he oftentimes served as
personal bodyguard to the Grandmaster. He died as he had lived,
fighting bravely to the last to defend the right of the Lions to live
in peace, despite knowing that to fight on would surely doom him.
Sir Gamorran, (d. 1106): Master of Physic, and Royal Protector of Queen Tope, Gamorran was a determined soldier and defender of the weak and helpless. He is believed to have been murdered by foes of the Lions whilst carrying out his duties.
Sir Anri, (d. 1106): A fiery-tempered and sweet-natured beastkin, Anri died whilst saving others from void rifts in the magical uprisings that led to the Cataclysm.
Martin Hetherington, (d. 1106): Squire to the Knights, Martin was caught up on Holy Isle whilst it was affected by the poison clouds. Though subdued with the other prisoners, he died when those prisoners were executed by person or persons unknown under the beserking influence of the same poison.
Rua ni Diarmid, (d. 1105): High Ritualist of the Lions faction and Companion of the Order, Rua died as a ritual she was conducting suffered a backlash of power. To save the lives of the contributors in the circle, she took the full force of the power herself.
Sir Marcin Demetus, (d.1105): More commonly known as Lemming, Marcin was a Companion to the Order of Celestial long before he was elected as Prince Bishop. His exploits are widely known across all of Erdreja, but at his core he was a kind and gentle man with a fierce drive to do good - the world just had a habit of conspiring against him. He died in the Vipers camp, apparently at the hands of Conclave agents, trying to create a new Gathering Treaty for the good of all the Heartlands.
Whispers, (d.1103): Also called the 'Kung Fu Kitty' after his participation in one of Sir Lemming's Rituals, Whispers was a valiant warrior and hated the Unliving with a passion. He was killed whilst fighting to free Holy Isle from the grasp of Benedict Darkendale's Unliving horde, as he attempted to free captives taken by the necromancers there.
Sir William ("Spike") deBeers, (d. 1103): Known to the Order as Spike, William deBeers was a courageous warrior and loyal friend. He fell defending others from mercenaries employed by the Watchers.
Sir Alvin deBeers, (d. 1103): Grand Master Alvin deBeers died at the hands of Akhnaten, a powerful unliving creature, whilst on Jackal lands. A kind, just and noble man, he represented the Order with honour, and helped establish it as a force for Good in the faction.
Sir Katherine, (d. 1101): A Knight that was with the Order but a short time. At the Gathering of 1101, Katherine knew she was to die soon. Rather than die peacefully, she single-handedly attacked an unliving stronghold.
Sir Frederick, (d. 1101): Sheriff of Claw Keep, Frederick single handedly held the gate of the Lions' camp against the on rushing forces of the Dark Alliance. His actions bought the Faction enough time to bring up re-enforcements, but a sally out arrived too late to do anything other than recover his body.
Gawaine, (d. 1100): Knight-Confessor and an orc of remarkable gentleness and quiet wisdom, Gawaine was taken into the Mists of Avalon by the Voor. A rescue attempt was launched, but Gawaine was dead by the time it reached him.
Sir Gujar N'Qualmi, (d. 1100): Master of Arms, a Sheriff and a talented spearman, Gujar was killed by the Voor at the Spring Festival of Thanks.
Sir Darius Du Gwynn, (d. 1099): Appointed as one of the Avalonian Walkers as well as holding the post of Master of Physic, Darius was slain attempting to destroy Plague Demons in Norsca.
Sir Skylar, (d. 1099): One of the earliest members of the Order, and one of the first to fall. Skylar was a Champion of the Heartland Games, but didn't live to hear it.
