The Knightly Orders

Listed below are the seven Order of Knights in the Domain and Realms, as founded by the Imperium. The ur-Lord, as Commander-in-Chief of all Knights in the Domain and Realms, is automatically a member of all Orders, as are all other members of the Imperium. Membership in any of the Orders begins by contacting the Imperium. The Imperium determine whether or not the 'applicant' has a place among the orders of the Domani Knights: as becoming one holds a certain amount of responsibility. The only other way to become a Domani Knight is to be invited by the Imperium, or in times of Yellow or Red Alert. Feel free to read at your leisure.

Heraldry: The Domani national colors of dark blue, grey, silver, black, and gold are used. A knight's white and silver helm with a sword - pointed down - superimposed on it, on a shield of dark gray bordered in dark blue. The Binary of the CrossField - symbolizing the Imperial District of Fantasia - is placed four times around the helm is a cross formation.
Creed: "For honor, chivalry, and magick."
Information: The first order of knights for the Domain and Realms, the Argent Knights(name changed from the Domani Knights January 19, 2008) began with each having an area to officially watch over: to guard and protect. Something akin to the police, but not quite. In reality, their jurisdiction is wherever they happen to be. They searve as the Domain's own National guard, and main force. When necessary, they are the eyes and ears of the Imperium and the Nobility. Their duty is to to uphold the Arad Doman at all times: as it is the High Law of the Domain and Realms, as well as to uphold the laws of chivalry, and to any and all Domani in their area. Theirs is also to protect and guard any place of spiritual or magickal import in their area. In whichever realm a Knight would be found, they would be answerable to the nobility of the areas in which they lived, and no one else. The safety and protection of all Domani within their area is their responsibility. In whatever Realm, Province, Duchy, County, or Principality they reside in, a Domani Knight reports to that area's ruler. In cases where Domani Knights reside in Fantasia, I.D., they report directly to the Imperium itself.

Name: The Order of the Dreaming
Full Name: The Knights of the Order of the Dreaming
Date founded: June 21, 2003
Founder: ShadowDarkFyre the LordVengeance
Current members: Sir Empathic Prince, Sir WhiteBlaze
Honorary members: Ms. Angi Sulins and all employees and members of Duirwaigh, Inc.; The Design Team of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Heraldry: Seven Binaries superimposed on a starry night sky. The four situated on the sides(two to a side) represent the four directions: North, South, East, and West. The three stars running down the center represent Mind, Heart, and Spirit
Creed: "Dream well for all..."
Information: Those who belong to the Order of the Dreaming promote magick in all its forms. From as little as a stray imagination, to as large as a distant hope of the future. Is is for them to uphold the First Right of the Escheat of the Arad Doman: known as the Right to Dream, which states:

All Domani: in any of the twenty-seven Realms of the Domain, have the right to dream their own dreams, and have not the right to impinge upon the dreams of others, unless those dreams are evil and would cause harm. Our hope to bring magick and belief back to the world would die otherwise.

Imagination, dreaming, wonder, discovery, and the encouragement and promotion thereof are all part of being a knight of this particular Order, along with the usual practice of magick and mysticism: particularly dream magick and astral travel. To encourage even the smallest dream, to give it the "water" and "sun" and "earth" it needs to grow, is part and parcel of what it means to be a Dreaming Knight. In the Domain and Realms, dreams are precious. And it is the responsibility of a Dreaming Knight to guard and protect dreams. In all their forms.

Name: The Order of the Raven
Full Name: The Knights of the Order of the Raven
Date founded: June 21, 2003
Founder: ShadowDarkFyre the LordVengeance
Current members: Lady Dame Dena ni Nine Death Storms, Dame Fly, Lady Dame Aradiana Merrows Cerridwen Adaria Ravensdowne ni VoceDeConscienza
Honorary members: None
Heraldry: A raven standing in the center of a field of white.
Creed: "Rest In Peace..."
Information: Knights of the Raven are those who uphold, enforce, and protect Article VII of the Articles of the Arad Doman: known as the Dictum Mortum, which states:

No Domani is to abuse the communication and interaction with the Restless Dead, under any circumstances other than self-defense of oneself or others. The Restless are not to be harassed, threatened, injured, or compelled in any way, shape, or form; or be driven to do harm to another in any concievable way. The Restless are souls who have crossed over. That should not be interrupted or abused.

The places where the dead have been laid to rest are considered sacred places. Such places, as well as whatever Restless Dead walk the earth and whatever haunts they inhabit, should be left alone. No harm should be brought to them whatsoever, except in cases when they harm the living, then all means necessary should be taken to stop them, and to put them to rest. It is also considered that as part of their tasks, they should also - when able - give comfort to those who are soon to cross over, so that their journey will be gentler and easier for it. These are the responsibilities of Raven Knights.

Name: The Order of the Silver Path
Full Name: The Knights of the Order of the Silver Path
Date founded: June 21, 2003
Founder: ShadowDarkFyre the LordVengeance
Current members: Lady Dame FionaBrigit ni NicLeoid, Lady Dame Xanthi Senara the Silent
Honorary members: None
Heraldry: A full moon in the center of a starry night sky. Seven Binaries - representing North, South, East, West, Mind, Heart, and Spirit - situated underneath the moon. Below, a field of green rising up to meet the sky, terminating in green hills, and a winding path of silver running in the middle.
Creed: "To find the way..."
Information: Knights of the Silver Path are those who believe in the existence of other realms. Realms of magick, legend, and myth. They believe that such places exist, and keep hope that they can be found one day. Knights of this Order believe in moon bridges, faery trods, wormholes, portals, alternate dimensions and realities, other worlds, and the like. They find it easy to believe in such places, like Tir Na nOg, Arcadia, Atlantis, Shangri-La, the Lands of Faerie, etc. They keep alive the hope that these places may be found in however large or small a part.

Name: The Order of Twilight's Hammer
Full Name: The Knights of the Order of Twilight's Hammer
Date founded: June 21, 2003
Founder: ShadowDarkFyre the LordVengeance
Current members: None
Honorary members: Mr. Vincent Salafia, Dr. Muireann Ni Bhrolchain, and all members of the "Save Tara-Skryne Valley" and various Save Tara movements.
Heraldry: A warhammer with three lightningbolts emanating from it, superimposed on a starry night sky.
Creed: "Sacred places remain sacred..."
Information: Knights of Twilight's Hammer do their best to protect any and all sacred places, to make sure that they are kept safe and secure for the posterity of all: both old and new. This extends to churches, burial mounds, cairns, historical sites, natural places of wonder and mystery. Such places include, but are not limited to, ancient forests, castles and keeps, Stonehenge, the Hill of Tara, the Great Serpent Mound, state and national parks, and other such places. Too few places such as these exist, and those who belong to Twilight's Hammer do their best to see that these places are protected. Because of this, Article XII of the Articles of the Arad Doman: known as the National Mystickal Refuge Act, has been made their prime directive.

Name: The Order of the Untravelled Road
Full Name: The Knights of the Order of the Untravelled Road
Date founded: June 21, 2003
Founder: ShadowDarkFyre the LordVengeance
Current members: Lady Dame FionaBrigit, Lady Dame Xanthi Senara the Silent
Honorary members: None
Heraldry: A full moon situated on the left, in a starry night sky. The sun blazing as it rises on the right in a sky-blue daytime sky. Both sides separated by a multi-toned blue line: symbolizing twilight and how it separates the night and the day. Below, a field of green bisected by a two-lane highway running straight to the sun.
Creed: "It is the Journey,... and not the Destination."
Information: The Order of the Untravelled Road is an order for those Domani who enjoy travelling: seeing places and things they haven't yet seen. Needless to say, those who enjoy the art of "roadtripping" and exploring are the ones who are given the chance to become a member of this order. An enjoyment or passion for cartography(study of maps), tourism, and even the Travel Channel, are pluses of course, as Road Knights are sometimes called upon to help the Imperial Department of Cartography to map and catalogue different places within the bounds of the Domain. You will also find that Road Knights often work in cooperation with Knights of the Silver Path, and for good reason. The philosophy of this Order is to always wonder. To discover what was hidden. Most of all, those in this Order realize what the creed states: that it is sometimes "the journey,... and not the destination", that is important.

Name: The Order of the White Wolf
Full Name: The Knights of the Order of the White Wolf
Date founded: June 21, 2003
Founder: ShadowDarkFyre the LordVengeance
Current members: Lady Dame FionaBrigit, Dame Fly, Lady Dame Aradiana Merrows Cerridwen Adaria Ravensdowne ni VoceDeConscienza
Honorary members: None
Heraldry: The head of a howling white wolf, superimposed on a starry night sky.
Creed: "To guard and protect nature."
Information: The Order of the White Wolf is an order for those Domani who are dedicated to the care and protection of nature and wildlife: however much, however little. Those who join this order may sometimes have a strong affinity for forests, woods, plantlife, wildlife of all kinds, and may sometimes prefer nature a little more than the civilization of cities and towns. But not necessarily so. Members of this Order do what they can to work towards the survival of nature in all places: whether caring for a small animal hurt by the wayside, or becoming an active supporter of such groups as Defenders of Humanity or Greenpeace. Because of this, Article XII of the Articles of the Arad Doman: known as the National Mystickal Refuge Act, has been made their prime directive.
