The Order of the Sarriah

The Order of the Sarriah is a knighthood founded by the current Kingspair, Metrios & Saldash in year 1012. It is commonly referred to as The Upjumped Knights, referring to the nature of the knights' promotion from sellswords or adventurers to knighthood.

Background
It replaced the Order of the Scales, which had long been regarded as poorly organized and funded. The Order of the Sarriah inherited some 19 knights of the realm but has, over the course of the reign of Metrios & Saldash, grown to include more than 100 knights. Upjumped Knights are recruited from mercenary and adventuring groups as well as foreign armies, so long as they are not from one of The Tripartite Kingdoms. These knights are chosen for their skill in battle, their upstanding morals, and often because they bring with them wealth and population as well, since they usually bring their household as well. They are given land under the lordship of an established noble and expected to uphold the laws of The Sarriahn Dynasty and, should it be needed, to go to war for it.

Leadership
The Order of the Sarriah is led by Lady Bixon Starhelm, who was previously the First Lieutenant in the Army of the Morning Star, a free company of The Isles of Alvost.
