I've got the urge, /tg/. Let's roll up a knightly order.
What is the order’s age? (1d100)
Rolled 43 (1d100)
>>43811789
Only 1d100? Seems a bit young to me.
>>43811789
dice+1d100
>>43812036
>Esteemed: This order’s inception coincided with the rise of Vlad Von Carstein and his heinous progeny. The Vampire Wars exacted a great toll on the armies and spirit of the Empire, but also strengthened the conviction of its people to fight against the dark powers of the world
What is the order’s religious affiliation? (1d100)
Rolled 41 (1d100)
>>43812086
Rolled 70 (1d100)
>>43812106
>>43812096
>Secular Order: This order pledges itself to no god in particular, and its members can worship as they please
How strong is the order in terms of manpower? (1d100)
>>43812125
Average: A few hundred knights. All servants from here on are retained by the order
How is the order’s strength distributed throughout the Empire? (1d100)
Rolled 34 (1d100)
>>43812150
>>43812164
>Concentrated: The order operates out of one or more stand-alone chapterhouses, usually in the deep forest or countryside. These can take the form of castles, mansions, or even temples
In which province is the order based? (1d100)
Rolled 22 (1d100)
>>43812188
>>43812437
>Nordland
Which knightly virtue does the order hold highest? (1d100)
Rolled 22 (1d100)
>>43812548
>>43812582
>Humility: You were blessed with wealth, good birth, and high station, but do not think for a second that these entitle you to special treatment
What are the order’s favored battle tactics and military doctrines? (1d100)
Rolled 33 (1d100)
>>43812548
>>43812614
Alright, I'll just use this roll.
>Shock and Awe: The essence of knightly warfare can be summed up a single maneuver: the lance charge. It does the most damage, and gets the most work done. The order recognizes this, and tries to allow its knights as many charges as possible
Who was the order’s greatest hero? (1d100)
>>43812991
Rolled 9 (1d100)
>>43812991

>A high-ranking Empire merchant or burgomeister
Who is the order's most hated enemy? (1d100)
Rolled 32 (1d100)
>>43813401
I fucked up
>>43813421
>A Tomb King
To whom, or what, has the order’s grandmaster pledged its service? (1d100)
Rolled 38 (1d100)
>>43813446
What's a tomb king ?
>>43813560
Imagine an angry Egyptian skeleton using armies of undead monsters to tell you to get the fuck off his lawn. Also, try to stop rolling in the thirties.
>No one. The order does not but as he wills
How wealthy is the order? (1d100)
Rolled 32 (1d100)
>>43813598
Ask and you will receive
>>43813632
Oh come on!
>>43813632
Sure thing, sirrah.
>Humble: The order’s coffers are full enough to allow its members to do their job and live in relative comfort, but little else beyond that

Rolled 29 (1d100)
>>43813791
Something badass
>>43813829
>The Tower shows the order’s commitment to steadfastness, protection, and grandeur
And that's all she wrote. Thank you for dealing with my bullshit. Feel free to write something about them or name them if you want.
>>43813863
How does "Order of the Pearled Stronghold" sound? Like a bunch of cool doods you ask me
>>43813910
How about Pearl Spire?
>>43813935
I like it.
>>43813935
Pearled Spire rolls out of the tongue much better
>>43813990
Alright. Order of the Pearled Spire. Maybe they're named after an old elf lighthouse in Nordland.
>>43814016
What if the tower was abandoned for centuries and during the Vampire Wars they took hold of it and managed to change the tide of a battle?
The Order of the Pearled Spire
Age: Esteemed
Religion: Secular
Manpower: Average
Distribution: Concentrated
Home Province: Nordland
Virtue: Humility
Doctrine: Shock & Awe
Hero: Champion
Travel: Far South
Ally: Empire Merchant or Burgomeister
Enemy: Tomb King
Fealty: None
Wealth: Humble
Monstrous Mounts: Rare
Relic: Testimonial
Sigil: The Tower
So from this, what can we tell about them?
>>43814129
Yes, this sounds good. Although I don't know if the VC's ever made it to the coast of Nordland. Maybe the same story but with Dark Elves or Chaos Warriors instead?
>>43814172
Sounds good. What about their Champion?
>>43814302
We can either have him surface at this incident, or make it have something to do with the trip to Nehekhara.
>>43814328
Let's go with the trip
>>43814555
I'll go with those trips.
So, seems pretty simple. Go to land of the dead, perhaps in search of wealth or on a penitence mission or something, besiege a pyramid, Tomb King sends some forces and his best priest to remove bratwurst, and the champion kills the priest. That's why that Tomb King is still butthurt at us to this day.
Post the tables, anon. This worked out really cool and I love me some random world gen tables!
>>43814596
And our ally?
>>43815021
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Empire_Knightly_Order_Creation_Tables
>>43815189
The guy who funded the expedition. Maybe our order was at the head of a mercenary company of some sort.
Any other fluff we can add to this?
>>43815604
We could say that they are utterly obsessed with pearls, for whatever reason. And lances.
Their 'tower' could vaguely resemble a lance, and the reason they are poor is they spend all their money attempting to aquire pearl plating and the like.
Dont know where they came from, but could be funny i guess.
>>43815277
Hey, thanks man
>>43815693
Maybe someone down the line fed them some bullshit that pearls are helpful against Tomb King's forces
>>43815693
>>43815950
I think the "Pearled" part comes from the fact that the tower is smooth and white, like most high elf architecture.
>>43816226
That makes a lot more sense
