Painted Knights

The Painted Knights are an ill-defined adventurers guild, whose claims include Fort Solehythe on the Eastern coast of the Crimson CLiffs, the entirety of the White Coast, and the territory of Blighthold.

Introduction
The Painted Knights are a peculiar gaggle of adventurers, brought together primarily by chance and personal whim. While they do not have a specific oath or stated goal, the Painted Knights are primarily dedicated to adventure, fraternity, glory, passion, and loyalty.

Founding
The Painted Knights were founded by Laith half-by-accident. Sir Vale found Laith wandering the Heath without purpose and asked to assist him. Laith, in order to save face, said he was searching for a place to create a home for great adventurers. Sir Vale Lead Laith to the Crimson Cliffs, and when Sir Vale left, Laith simply began to build, having no other whims or motivation to go elsewhere.

After months, or even years, of toil, Laith had constructed a formidable fortress and a large banquet hall. He was still alone, and had been the whole time since Sir Vale had left him there. Then, one day, Sir Faeryn, the first of Laith's Painted Knights, stumbled upon Fort Solehythe. It was then that the Painted Knights were truly formed, and where their values of adventure, loyalty, and passion spring from.

In the months following Sir Faeryn's arrival, Sir Tomas Havail and the Wanderer also came to Fort Solehythe and settled in, Sir Tomas joining the Painted Knights. It was at this time that Lady Luthien O'Hafton came to Fort Solehythe at Laith's invitation. Once settled in, Lady Luthien became the Painted Knights' healer and alchemist, providing much needed support for many battles and adventures to come.

Protection of Blighthollow
Laith offered to protect Lady Tokk Aru and the other vagrants of Blighthollow. This was the first step in claiming all of Blighthold and making a powerful ally in Jekyll, the 4th Prophet of Mycelyix.

Quick Growth for a Provincial Fortress
In the months following Lady Luthien's arrival and the Painted Knights' claim over Blighthollow, many new faces came to Fort Solehythe. Sir Faeryn's Vvurdeni brethren, Yambrindael the Netharnan and Ythrum the Golem, both came to Fort Solehythe and made a home beneath the mountain. Additionally, Sir Daniel McLachlen joined the Painted Knights.
