At the height of Imperial Azlant, the Knights of the Ioun Star was a shining order of armored magi who served the throne.

Structure

The sect of the Knights of the Western Star served the emperor and the empire's Throne of Glass, while the sect of the Knights of the Eastern Star searched the lands beyond the empire's borders for secret lore.

Chapters of the Knights of the Ioun Star are known as almorains, an Azlanti term akin to "family" or "alliance".

After Earthfall

The few Knights of the Western Star who survived the Earthfall eventually came to serve the living god Aroden, while the Knights of the Eastern Star never believed that Aroden was truly the Last Azlanti. When Aroden died, the Knights of the Western Star faded from history but the Knights of the Eastern Star have remained scattered throughout Avistan and beyond, since Earthfall, ever searching for secret lore and the new ruler who would restore the glory of Azlant.

The strongest faction of the Knights of the Eastern Star, known as the Apotheosis Almorain, is centered in Oppara.
