Many scholars and Recorders have bickered over the origins of our prestigious sect of knights. The 13thitself has quite a history, but for this short recording I shall endeavor to discuss the most agreed upon beginnings of our order. King Eld the Fox, the first predator to wear the crown after the great lion king, King Holl, encountered during a sea voyage a large group of fleeing folks, all appearances seeming they were from the Isle of Dos, now known as the Rotten Isles. King Eld journeyed to the Isles only to find terrifying dark magics there and creatures made of the same dark arts seeking to conquer the Isles. Many of the King’s soldiers died and the King returned to warn and prepare his people for the dark forces to come inland. A declaration was made, and all who were willing to be trained to carry sword and shield in defense of our land would be knighted and made heroes of the Realm. Some joined, but it was not until the first landing of the dark forces that the people truly rallied to the growing Knight order’s cause. Soon, the Knights were the only forces struggling against the dark waves of monsters. We prevailed, and King Eld’s daughter, Loria, the only royal to survive the onslaught, became Queen Lor and swore the Knights, both predator and prey, into service of the Valley of Stars and beyond. And so, the Knights of Paw and Claw have guided, protected and served the people of the Realm.
