rdfs:label	Knights of the Shield
rdfs:comment	One of the original Aluvian factions. The original description reads: Motto: Unknown Background: Among the knighthood of Aluvia, there is a growing faction of those who are dissatisfied with the king's justice, and feel that the knights should be given more power, above and beyond the current laws. A few secretly formed the Knights of the Shield, in order to better render their own justice upon the land. The Knights of the Golden Flame are officially at war against these secretive, renegade knights. However, rumors say that some Knights of the Golden Flame are actually double agents. Current: What happens with the Knights of the Shield in Dereth is unknown. The Knights of the Shield are expert wielders and manipulators of information who pose as a group of merchants and nobles interested in mercantile activities. Though they are based primarily in Baldur's Gate, Amn and Tethyr, the realm of influence of the Knights reach from Calimshan to Waterdeep, though they have little influence in the latter anymore thanks to a failed coup against the Lords of Waterdeep. The Knights of the Shield were a secret society, said to have worked for the archdevil-turned-deity, Gargauth.
