Provisional Motto: "Suum cuique" is a Latin phrase meaning "to each his own" or "to each what he deserves." It has been significant in the history of philosophy and as a motto. This phrase was the motto of The Order of the Black Eagle (German: Hoher Orden vom Schwarzen Adler), the highest order of chivalry in King Frederick the Great's Kingdom of Prussia. The motto is still used by the German military police (the Feldjäger) and the Faculty of Advocates in Scotland.

Description: The Knights of the World Tree are an organization of neonates formed for the purpose of re-taking London from the Sabbat. In 2029, their charismatic leader, Brian O'Reilly, received the acknowledgement of one of the heirs of Mithras, Marcus Verus, who gave his blessing to the venture as a mercenary organization in the employ of the Courts of Avalon, so long as they organized as a group of "Knights," and accepted a certain amount of direction and leadership from the established Knightly Orders of Avalon.

Verus assigned Sir Geoffrey Talent (a member of Verus' own order of knighthood) to train and provide direction to the Knights of the World Tree. Under Sir Geoffrey's guidance, organized into four "columns," and learned cavalry-style tactics, adapting motorcycles to the traditional role of horses in medieval cavalry, to some effect.

After the end of the "Great Siege of London," the knighthood's members returned to civilian life, reuniting as a fighting force briefly to install their leader as Baron of York and Prince of Leeds. Some remain in London, while others accompanied Brian O'Reilly to York, where they have taken positions of authority around the province.

By the 2040's, the Order has morphed into more of a social society than anything militaristic, though the members continue to meet irregularly to spar in something akin to the "Scottish Skirmish School" that predated the Knights.
