HISTORY

Many a jedi have been corrupted in their lust for power. They seek nothing more than Dominance of the Universe, and will stop at nothing to achieve their goal. With their supernatural abilities, they have learned to overcome all who oppose them through the dark side of the force, and they are finally beginning to win the battle...

And so were summoned the Radiant Knights. The wise Jedi, Paladin, observed the increase in power of the dark side, and so he realized it had to be stopped. The Inner Circle of Jedi which was created by Paladin while he was completing his Jedi Training had first been entrusted to Hellshot, friend and apprentice to Paladin, once Paladin's training had ended. Hellshot's training then became complete, though he noticed the Inner Circle was beginning to lose its unity. The Inner Circle was disbanded for several months.

Finally, a Jedi Master named ObiWan came to discover the remains of the Inner Circle, and rebuilt it, instilling new life into it, and it was now safe for Paladin to summon those Jedi who were the strongest in will, who had the purest of intentions to the cause of the Light Side. With the assistance of his friend and former apprentice, the Jedi Master Hellshot, the Order of Radiant Knights was assembled on September 22, 1999 A.D. with Paladin and Hellshot the co-leaders.

Since then, in that first year, they have enlisted the aid of the adept warrior Cyric, and under the firm apprenticeship of Paladin, have also trained the lightning-fast Zapper into the Radiant Knights.

In its second year the Knights trained the young padawan Saber, under Zapper's expertise.

In its third year of existence the Order received three promising new jedi:

• The first to join, Striker, would be the first apprentice of Master Hellshot.

• Second, came Autumn out of the school of saber fencing, to be Paladin's second apprentice in the Order.

• Finally, as Saber has completed his training with Zapper, Zapper became able to train our newest apprentice, Gavin.

Entering its fourth season with now 8 strong-willed members pledging to drive back the dark side once and for all, these Knights of the Order began to strongly develop their skills. Undergoing over 400 battles, and recruiting 4 new jedi, the Order continued to grow and the light continued to shine.

• Very early on, soon after the season began, Fox, sister of Hellshot, enlisted in the Order and trained under her brother.

• As the summer days approached, so did the friend of our newest apprentice, whose name was Galahad. Galahad was accepted into the order and was trained under Paladin.

• Galahad's training persisted as Paladin received word of two relations of Autumn showing interest in learning the path of the jedi. Unfortunately there was only one master that was able to train at this time, and so Jade was inducted into the Order under the direction of Zapper.

• When the summer training courses had ended it was decided that the brother of Jade, Excalibur, would be trained before the Season's end. Since it was decided that Fox was ready to stand alone as a Journeyman, Excalibur would receive the guidance of Hellshot.

12 honorable knights now standing tall as the Order enters its fifth season. With four active elite members and four active craftsmen, the Order continues on tightly-bound and stronger than ever.
