Lore:Knights of the Nine

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

The Knights of the Nine were founded by Sir Amiel Lannus in 3E 111. The order's highest purpose was to recover the legendary Relics of the Crusader, which had been lost for thousands of years. Soon, the greatest knights of the day were lining up to join the order. The Knights became famous after Sir Amiel led them against the Wyrm of Elynglenn to recover the Cuirass of the Crusader. Soon thereafter, three more relics (the Gauntlets, Greaves and Sword of the Crusader) were found, giving the Knights even more fame and prestige. Sadly, the War of the Red Diamond tore apart the order; many knights left joining the war on one side or the other, some of them took Relics with them. After the war was over, the crumbling order was dissolved 3E 131, although in truth this was little more than a formality; the order had never recovered from the war.

[edit] Notes

• In Oblivion, the player had the option of re-founding the order, and to reclaim all the relics. In the end, the player would become the Holy Crusader.
