Knights of the Everlasting Light (Empire Knights)

The fire will always burn, just as the courage of this elite band of men will never be extinguished.

The Knightly Orders of the Empire are organised along strict hierarchical lines, with every novice trained in martial values until ready to take up the mantle of a fully-fledged Knight. Of the many warrior orders stationed throughout the Empire, the Knights of Sigmar’s Blood, the Knights of the Broken Sword, the Knights Griffon and the Knights of the Blazing Sun are but few on a long list of the mighty and worthy.
