Order of the Moon – An organization in the service of House Talii, they are soldiers dedicated to the extermination of vampires, demons and other undead. They are all master fighters and powerful mages. Trained to destroy powerful undead, they have developed a few spells to help their cause. One of the most famous ones is a spell that lets them make the moon and starlight as deadly to undead as the rays of the sun.

New recruits are taken in at between the ages 10 and 16, though generally they try to get them as young as possible. All recruits must posses strong magic, and ones that have powers useful against demons and undead are highly sought after. The kids are taught to use a sword and spear, though it's not uncommon for many to study more exotic weapons as well.

The knights all keep their necks covered to avoid bites, often with thick leather collars. Most of them, regardless of gender, wear pants. All the knights wear the symbol of their order somewhere on them: As can be seen here

The knights all have their weapons blessed and forged in the sacred spring water at the Shaith Temple. This makes the weapons dangerous to demonic and undead creatures. They are spread throughout Moonspear, though they have their headquarters in Rillaria and a training center in the Shaith Temple.

The knights are often hired through the High Lord of Moonspear to take care of monsters that plague villages or cities. The Order of the Moon is known for it's lack of mercy to demons and undead, though they are always careful to minimize innocent casualties. Their first priority is protecting the lives of the innocents, after that is the extermination of the demons.
