The Dragon Knights were formed by the Lord of the Vale, first person to rally those who lived in Aenaroth under a united banner, some time after entering the realm. After learning the language of the Dragons, and befriending a number of powerful dragons, the Lord formed the order in the hopes of keeping the peace in the Realm. Knights do not use dragons as mounts, but instead create a bond with them, learning to fight alongside the powerful creatures in harmony, not servitude. A young Knight will be tasked with first learning the language of dragons, not so that he may talk with them as they already speak the common tongue, though it is a great side effect, but so that he may learn that they are intelligent beings as well, not beasts of burden.
The weapons and armor created for use by the Knights are carefully forged over a several month period, and are imbued with powerful spells for strength, durability, and on weapons, the retainment of the cutting edge.
It takes several years for an average Knight to finish their training, but once they do, they are generally among the most powerful warriors in Aenaroth. However, they are few in number, and often spend their time guarding the largest portals in the realm, in an effort to safeguard the citizens. In recent years, enlistment has risen, following the discovery of a dark force that was moving through the portals to other realms. These new Knights are in greater number than their predecessors, but often sally forth through the portals, in an attempt to push back these dark forces.
Incredibly, the Knights have discovered that they are not the only force to be trying to combat the darkness. They have come across other realms that also fight against this common foe. And while it goes by different names in different realms, the goal remains the same. As a result of this discovery, efforts to work with these other forces against larger groups of dark forces have arisen, to limited success.
