Order of the Triad

The Order of the Triad was a knightly order that served the kingdom of Old Impiltur for many years, from the 8 to the 12 century DR. These holy warriors had been gathered together from across Faerûn by the churches of Torm, Tyr and Ilmater and united together in service of their gods and the nation in which they found a home.

History
The order was founded after both the Fiend Wars and the Triad Crusade came to an end, in the Year of the Proud Father, 732 DR. King Sarshel Elethlim made a royal decree that honored the knights who had defended their realm against the fiendish hordes of the Outer Planes.

The knights of the Triad fought bravely in the Battle of the Moaning Gorge, in the Year of the Moaning Gorge, 786 DR. The aided the Paladin Princes in routing Ndulu from Toril for a second time and banished the demon lord to the Abyss. Following the ascension of King Nord, the order earned great renown during the king's harrowing. For nearly 20 years, the knights traveled across the realm, in a great campaign to hunt down the demons that still scoured the lands.

The order served the Elethlim Dynasty with distinction and honor, until the death of the kingdom's last royal heir, Princess Aliaa, which occurred in the Year of the Fearless Peasant, 926 DR. During the Kingless years their traditions and reverence of Torm, Tyr and Ilmater were continued throughout the realm. However their numbers waned to nil as the holy champions were gradually killed one by one.
