Oathkeepers
Summary
The Oathkeepers are three orders of knights bound under one oath in Everdale. They guard the Gleaming Keep, protect the Empty Throne, police the King’s Tourney, and help oversee the city’s economy and settlement. Source: 2026.05.05.
The Three Orders
The Oathkeepers are composed of three distinct knightly orders, each with its own banner, that agreed to a shared code and merged their purpose after King Aldrich’s reign ended. They are the only three orders that still survive from that era. Source: 2026.05.12.
| Banner | Emblem | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Green shield | A stag / antlers | The same order as Sir Televast, the knight the party encountered before reaching Everdale |
| Red shield | An ember flame | — |
| Silver crest | A helm with two crossed swords | — |
The orders patrol Everdale’s hamlet streets in pairs and wear their own emblems. Cassian recognized all three as the oldest surviving knightly orders in the current era of men. Source: 2026.05.12.
Belief
The Oathkeepers preserve the keep and throne because they believe King Aldrich will someday return to rule again. They tell children this as a bedtime story—that the king will emerge from the stone and unite all the realms. Source: 2026.05.05, 2026.05.12.
