The Knights of the Sword Coast

This adventuring company gained fame and notoriety throughout the Savage Frontier during their two decades of activity. The company grew from its original eight members to a total of twelve people who called themselves the Knights of the Sword Coast over the years. Their greatest adventure saw the destruction of the ancient lich Berthist in the Trollbark Forest, but cost them the lives of their leader, Barkess Lanys the paladin, and four others: Garathorn the Gold Mage, Rett (a follower of Barkess), and Kaylor and Stynirr Heremet (married priests of Lathander). The surviving members all live within the Adventurers' Quarter of South Ward and still keep in contact after retiring in 1366.
