Our origin started with EverQuest...

I started playing MMORPGs, in 1999 on EverQuest's PvP server Ralloszek the day the game first went public. I played the first incarnation of Myrik Justiciar there as a human paladin and sought out to pvp with the dark elf players near FreePort. It wasn't long till I made some friends and allies im in my fights, as well as some noteriety with my foes and formed the Lordknights.

As a I recall we were one of the first few guilds on the server, where we peaked out with over 30+ members. We had some good times pvping, and had a month long guild war with Barbarian Horde (a evil style rp guild) and Black Tear, with help from our allies Mitheril Hammers (an all dwarf guild who had a passion for saying 'fook me' in pvp, lol), whom I had much respect for and liked personally. Ashen Temper played on the server, and was in a guild that was allied with us (the Knights of Justiice I think, not sure), and he was the one who got me and other LK at the time to follow SB while in its early idea phase. As a guild, I think we played EQ for roughly 2 years, before myself and another Inner Council member named Virtue went in search of greener pastures (DAoC) while we waited on SB to develop. After my leaving for greener pastures, I think most of the original LK split up and went their ways, though a few kept in touch.

Virtue and I formed the 2nd incarntion of the Lordknights on the Percival (a RP) server on DAoC. We played the Albion team (mainly so I could be a barbarian highlander paladin with a big axe, lol), and peaked with prob 80+ characters in the guild. We joined in an alliance and did alot of pvp in the outer realms. I felt like the game was alot of like EQ (which I hated), and when SB came out I turned over LK to Virtue, hooked up with an old LK IC named Stepwolfefrom our EQ days and went there.

In SB, I picked the Death server, since I knew some of the guys there (MWH whom LK was allied with way back then on EQ). Stepwolf decided to go help another friend start his guild and I went about making LK. Not having played beta, I went with a human half-gant warrior, formed my guild and subbed to Free Corps while I built my guild.

I didnt enjoy the politics of FC and when my guys and I had saved enough gold, we went independant and built our first town called Valantia, south of the bogs on the coast. We stayed friends and allied with FC, Veri-main, and the other southern nations. On Death, we built a small empire of roughly 13+ cities, and fought against the Lords of Death. I played here untill my last few months of college, when I took a leave to finish, turning over the guild to Hood to run in my absence. As I recall, he eventually joined the server alliance to fight LoD, and built up LK well after it split up.

When I finished up school and had time to play again, I first went to Corruption and tried the new server for a bit, had a small LK showing there, and eventually went with my old friends to Vengeance shortly after it opened. We were subbed to Legion (which was somewhat a comglamorite of PK guilds from Death - a much different stance which we ran from Death) till it fell, then moved to the east desert, subbing to Keepers of the Faith.

KoF wasnt organized very well, and eventually fell apart. This gave me the oppurtunity to take the desert and slowly, via politics, banes, etc. we took the island. Werd and myself to make gold, did alot of open recruiting at first (orc towers pl spots were popular) to make a fortune to build our towns and trainer cities, etc. We purposely stayed out of politics long as possible till we built up a pretty good zerg force and went to war with the Presidents on the north desert, allying up with GoD (allies from Death server) and OPP. TP were fun to pvp with, but as a nation they had troubles and fell apart. About this same time The Shadow Legion subbed to EB and TP tried to move into the west desert. Via much fighting, we and our allied drove them out and LK took control of the west desert, where we still hold both islands today.

LK has always been loyal, we stayed allied with our friends on Death till the server was shut down, and on Vengeance remain allied to the remenants of those we started with, ala GoD, and SF (who was a sub to OPP). We also have become friends with once enemies LoD.
