Knights of Winter
Winter is Coming!
Amongst the two continents of Illyriad, you will find a large cast of characters. Each plays their own part, whether significant or insignificant, in the web of conflicts amongst the noble alliances. Until recently all of these alliances were well known, both near and far, for their accolades earned on the battlefield.
Alas, a new alliance was formed from the transformation of one of these dynastic alliances. They have found their way to make their own mark on the two continents in which the conflicts are resolved. Their quick growth into becoming a player in tournament style conflicts is proof of their resolve.
This brotherhood is charged with defending the realm against ancient threats as well as new ones. The true heroes of history do not find their genesis in an orc or a dwarf or even an elf. It is found within you. Do you have the courage and curiosity to find it?
The truest of battles are not simply between good and evil. History has proven it is not that simple. The greatest of retributions comes from a redemption of past failures and the change of your character throughout the journey you are on.
We will give you the tools. We will give you the resources.
You just need to choose to receive them.
Which alliance do you choose?
Many an alliance has come and gone.
You only need to know one thing to make your decision…
Winter is Coming!

Limericks by Xaindean
I once met a dwarf from philly and said 'hey, welcome to illy' come join us in hoth and have some broth, we'll teach you to grow and be silly!
I once met a cute little goth; all dressed in black leather and cloth. I thought it would fit her to be covered in glitter, so I invited her to join hoth!
Xaindean's and Blade's take on our tourney experience (We are formerly known as HOTH-Heroes of the Horn)
There we were in Hoth Keep,
where cares are hewn in half
Sharing in good company,
a tankard and a laugh
When our grizzled sergeant took
the Horn down from the wall
And with a single mighty breath,
he sounded its great call.
We all stopped and turned to look,
a hush fell on the room.
He glared at each of us in turn
then shouted with a boom:
“The heralds proclaim a tourney,
all across the land!
And though we be peaceful,
we ought to try our hand.”
"Aye, they outsize and rank us,
we'll challenge just the same
And even if they best us,
be sure they'll know our name!"
“Ye call yerselves The Heroes,
ye train and craft and trade,
But Heroes are not trained...
They are battle made!”
“Who among ye answers
when'er the Horn doth call?
To muster all yer armies,
be they large or small,"
“To leave yer cozy castle,
yer maiden and yer bed,
To sow the plains with corpses,
and paint the mountains red!”
Some among us paused,
but most rose up as one
To raise our swords and voices,
and to shout “I will come!”
We made our preparations,
our battle plans were drawn
And on the eve of battle,
we marched until the dawn.
We sent our troops to fight and die
on the plains of Western Realms.
We left the plains of Kingsland strewn
with broken spears and helms.
There is now a grove of corpses
in the forest of Freemorn
And on a peak in Kormandly
flies the Banner of the Horn!
We took the field of battle,
we fought our level best
We stuck to our strategy,
and fate did all the rest.
From the largest to the smallest
each member did their part
Though they had greater numbers
we showed greater heart
Each of us are Heroes,
we heed the calling Horn
Now forged in the fire of battle,
As Knights Of Winter, we are reborn!
Our Diplomatic Policies:
- Questions, Offers, Inquiries? Please send them to Jadefae or Isaac James
One last bit of business: our Harvesting Policies:
- Like most alliances, Knights of Winter asks that you get permissions from any member that you wish to move within 10 squares of... Failure to do so may result in hostile action taken against the newly-located city, depending on specifics of course.
- KnOW enforces the 5 square rule for harvesting, but do understand each player may have their own harvesting rules on their profile.
Account Inactivity
- Any account left inactive for more than 15 days will be liable to sieging. If you need to have a sitter to hold your account then contact the leadership if you plan on being absent for more than 30 days. After 30 days you will be kicked.
