Priory of the Nine

The Priory of the Nine is a major outpost of the Knights of the Nine and its current secondary headquarters. The Priory was built to house the original Knights of the Nine in 3E 311 until it was left in ruins after the order fell apart. It lay unoccupied for over a hundred years until Bennirus Talanian quested for the Crusader's Relics and restored the Knights to their former glory.

The new Knights of the Nine remained at the Priory until it was destroyed by the forces of Gareth, a rogue knight who sought to use the Relics' power to alter time and become Emperor. The Knights of the Nine, now without a headquarters, besieged Castle Relleis - Gareth's fortress - and claimed it as their new home until they were evicted by the Imperial Legion. They spent two years underground waiting for the return of the Divine Crusader who had been sent back to the First Era by Gareth's portal. From there, he returned and the Knights deposed of Gareth, winning Castle Relleis for their own use. The Priory, however, remained burned to the ground until Bennirus funded its reconstruction.
