Knights in Silver

The Knights in Silver is the army of Silverymoon, their duty to patrol and defend the city against orcs and other dangers. They are aided by many wizards and contigents of Harper agents (Harper scouts).

A dozen Knights in Silver man Hawk's Nest, the watchtower near the top of Silverymoon Pass, during the months when the Silverymoon to Sundabar (Road) is in heavy use. The Knights in Silver patrol the Silverymoon to Sundabar (Road) to stop monsters and bandits preying on the road's traffic.

The Knights in Silver were led by Besnell of Silverymoon, an elven warrior up until his death in the war between Mithral Hall and Menzoberanzan. After the war was won he was replaced by his second in command Terrien Doucard, a half-elf soldier from Silverymoon who later led Stumpet Rackingclaw, the dwarven high priestess of Mithral Hall to save the injured Lady Alustriel higher up on the slopes of Keeper's Dale.

In 1372 DR, the commander of the Knights in Silver is Sernius Alathar.
