Knights of the World Tree

British Isles / Glasgow

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 to train and provide direction to the Knights of the World Tree. Under Sir Geoffrey's guidance, they have organized into four "columns," and learned cavalry-style tactics, adapting motorcycles to the traditional role of horses in medieval cavalry.

Leaves of the World Tree

These fledglings were embraced on the same night by members of the Knights of the World Tree, in Sired September 2031. Their shared experience as retainers and then fledglings thrown into the grinder has created a bond among them. In the days and years following the Siege of London, they tend to move and act together, forming a particularly large coterie, even for neonates.
