Malachor Keep
Welcome to Malachor Keep, this keep is a symbol of justice over the evil forces in the realm.  There has always been a Neklund as the master of this fortress.  The current master is Lord Vlad Neklund, decendant of Sandor Neklund the God of Justice and patron of the Paladins known as the Church Knights.
The Church Knights are a group of well-organized paladins, and devote sevants of Sandor, the God of Justice.  They are the oldest knighthood in the realm, starting in the year 721or in the country of Stuart .  After the fall of Stuart(051nr) in the Human-Elven War the Church Knights reformed into two chapters, the Arcian chapter(167nr) and the already established Elenium chapter(052nr).  The Elenium chapter was disbanded by King Thaos Longfellow(pc) in the year 850nr, in order for the King to create his own knighthood, the Crown Knights.  The Arcian chapter was disbanded shortly after by King Bromine Grifface, after he became a lich and created the Blood Knights.  Lord Denthor Rasthavin(pc), Arcian Church Knight, led the remaining Church knights from both chapters into the monster kingdom of Stutgart and was able to reclaim the lost country of Stuart in the year 860nr.  After King Triax Grifface(pc) led the Dragoon Troopers, Defender Knights,  and Church Knights of Stuart and conquered Arcian, he also reinstated the Arcian chapter of Church Knights in the year 1262nr.  Stuart fell to the Dark Knights just two years later.

Church Knights wander throughout Arcian maintaining law and order in the country, and can only be over-ruled by an Arcian King's Knight.  They all must swear to the Code of Ennoblement:

          "I do hereby pledge to honor the strictures of this sacred heritage and promise by my faith to be loyal to Sandor, maintaining my devotion against all persons without deception or forethought.  Further I vow to promote and uphold the principles of Fealty, Courtesy, Honor, Valor, and Chastity, and to solemnly and faithfully follow the edicts of King Triax Grifface."
D'Cind is a Copper Dragon that has been the protector of Malachor Keep for over 450 years.  He has also been the companion of the Neklund family for just as long.

The sleeping guardian

Lord Kalten is a Church Knight whom sleeps in a small room beneath Malachor Keep.  He grew to power in the years 820 nr through 860 nr.  At the request of Sandor, the God of Justice, he was placed under a magical blanket that kept him asleep without aging.  For over 400 years he has slept, having been awoken on occasion to help the Church Knights in their greatest time of need.  His most recent awakening was in the year 1282 nr to help the Church Knights fight the Undead Horde that had invaded the country of Arcian.
