Canon Overview

The Knights of the Silver Hand are the paladin order founded by Archbishop Alonsus Faol as the martial arm of the Church of the Holy Light. The order was shattered by the Third War and later re-formed in different ways, including through Tirion Fordring’s efforts and the class order formed during the Legion invasion.
