The Friedrichian Band is a group of knights sharing various origins although commonly one of Redclyfian descent. It was founded by Hannes Steelguard and his fellow companions in 145 S.A, deciding to take up arms to fight in foreign wars yet also against the agents of Iblees. The band throughout it's short ongoing history has remained rather small although this has not stopped them from taking part in active conflicts such as the Elven Jungle War, Orcish Civil War, Third Usurper's War
History
Founding
Founded in 145 S.A by Hannes Steelguard, the band soon pinned a missive to the realms of Canondom calling for them to act upon the priest killings by darkspawn and xionists alongside the all around depraved actions within the city of Lurin. Their missive gained lots of support within canondom and soon led to the holy mother church sending a diplomatic party to the city which made it legal for canonists to perfrom inquisition within the city aslong as they had a permit. The band went on several expeditions into the city in which they tested the populace for darkspawn before later obtaining a stronghold in the lands of the Uruk. As they gained the stronghold in the Iron Horde, they soon found themselves fighting with the uruks against the Druids of Nevaehlen alongside the high elves of Haelunor. They fought willingly and eagerly, serving in both the Battle of Grubnakh’s Charge alongside the Siege of Nevaehlen, the latter being where their Grandmaster and founder led the forces of the band alongside the Iron Horde into the walls and later, victory. While they did fight viscously in each battle, they did not sport many men and only making up a small percentage of the overall army.
Warbound Expansion
During this period, the Friedrichian Band found themselves thrust into the crucible of not one, but two distinct conflicts, each of paramount significance. The band's soon found themselves ensnared in the tumultuous currents of the Orcish Civil War, an internecine conflict that raged within the very heart of the Iron Horde, their own liege, The Orcish Civil War was ignited by a large-scale rebellion within the Iron Horde, led by numerous vassals (Including the Friedrichian Band) who perceived existing leadership as tyrannical. In a powerful "Declaration of Rebellion," the rebels questioned the shifting values within the Iron Horde and challenged the refusal to uphold the time-honored tradition of a Rex title challenge, invoking the spirit of Krug, the progenitor of orcs. Amid these events, a strategic alliance was formed between the House of Pinemaw and the Friedrichian Band. On the 21st of the First Seed, Year 1948 of Imperial Time, the Pinemaw Independent Brigade was established as an extension of this alliance. Their mission: to serve alongside the Friedrichian Band and support them in the Rebellion against the Rex

Code of Conduct
The comrades of the Friedrichian band uphold a creed. The fundamental belief of this creed is to undertake everything with the goal of upholding the GLORY OF GOD and their own honor. From accepting a challenge of combat to doing mundane tasks. To living according to the scrolls and the examples of the Exalted. There is though a more solid code of conduct which they abide by. Their actions are based off of this most of the time:
I. Knight, you are a warrior serving the GLORY OF GOD with Honour and Loyalty
II. Each Knight is your brothers-in-arms whatever his nationality, race or culture may be. You show him the same solidarity that links a family together for we all belong to the family of CANON.
III. Respect for GOD and traditions, devotion to GOD, discipline and comradery are your strengths, courage and loyalty are your virtues.
IV. You are a warrior of GOD. Show this through your always dignified yet modest behavior and through your diligence.
V. The mission is sacred, you carry it out until the end and, if necessary in the field, at the risk of your own life.
VI. In combat, act with righteous passion for our LORD GOD, and never abandon your dead, your wounded, or your arms.
VII. At all times speak the truth. Only the great deceiver IBLEES and DARKSPAWN deal in lies.
VIII. To keep faith.
IX. Never turn your back on an equal or inferior foe. You are the sword of GOD and you shall cleanse the mortal plain of SIN & VERMIN.
X. Protect the weak and defenseless of CANONDOM. Be their shield and spear by seeking out evil and purging it.
