Shivering:Knight of Order

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

The Knights of Order are one of the three Forces of Order, the other two being Priest of Order and Jyggalag.

Knights who serve under the command of the Daedric Prince of Order, Jyggalag, are essentially his soldiers in a massive and unyielding army. They are easily discernible, as they are made from a crystal armor that mirrors the Obelisks from which they spawn. The Knights are first encountered during the main quest Baiting the Trap as you are leaving Xedilian. Unfortunately their armor can't be taken, although you can recover their fairly nice swords and of course, their hearts.

Knights of Order are considered to be NPCs so a Black Soul Gem is required to store their souls.

• Interestingly, if you can somehow make the Knights friendly/passive to you and talk to them, you will find that they speak in a normal, very human voice. As opposed to the metallic "grinding" noises that you otherwise hear them "yell" in whenever you hurt or kill them. They have a unique greeting, which is always the same: "I prepare the way for my lord Jyggalag!".

• After Shivering Isle's Main Quest has been completed, Knights of Order are supposedly banished from the Isles. If you still want to find Knights (for example because you need Hearts of Order to open Crystal Chests), there are a few places where Knights continue to spawn indefinitely, namely Brellach and Pinnacle Rock. However, you cannot enter these areas unless you have already started The Helpless Army, and even once you have finished the Main Quest, you can still only enter the fortress that was made accessible during the Helpless Army quest (the other one remains permanently inaccessible).
