Howdy travelers!\u00a0 Once again, we’ve done our three week gap between sigils, so we’re back again to show you another place in the Tellest universe, and the sigil that’s associated with it.\u00a0 We’ve mentioned the Knights of Gardone a couple of times throughout the years.\u00a0 They were initially mentioned in Mageborn, as we met former knight Edric, a friend of Gaston’s.\u00a0 Then, in Heart of the Forest, we were introduced to Luther, a knight of the order who was transitioning from Gardone to the Crypt of the Kalistrazi.\u00a0 One last member of the group that we’re aware of is Benton Kearst, who has been in a Tellest short story, as well as Quantum Quest (and we have more plans for him in the future as well).<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n Gardone is known primarily because of it’s knights.\u00a0 They’re essentially protectors of the realm, and their influence spreads across Daltain.\u00a0 They’re often called the White Knights (completely oblivious to the way we use it here on Earth, mind you).\u00a0 As such, it makes sense for the field of their sigil to be that blinding white color.\u00a0 They also have a shield with a red border, and varying shades of grey, which also shows on their sword as well.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Gardone does a lot with stone structures.\u00a0 They’ve got towers, forts, castles, and more across the Daltainian landscape.\u00a0 Some of that was made recently, and some of it was reclaimed from old fortifications.\u00a0 As such, some of their old sigils are going to show some wear and tear.\u00a0 It just goes to show that they have a very storied history in Tellest and Draconis, and that they help where they can.\u00a0 More of their thought and care is put toward assisting others than keeping up with old masonry, so perhaps they should shift their focus from time to time.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Gardone’s influence mostly sticks to dry land, so it would be a bit unusual to find a good amount of banners flying atop their masts.\u00a0 But, as mentioned before, they have a ton of fortifications up throughout the country.\u00a0 There are flags and banners and tapestries that you would certainly see here and there.\u00a0 There have also been several cases over the years where Gardone’s knights have served as special mercenaries for merchants and other caravans, including for royalty from Daltain and even Raleigh.\u00a0 They have their own special vehicles that they bring with them in those cases, and they would show the banners off there as well.<\/p>\n Below, you’ll see the painted version of the sigil, which I’m hoping we’ll see more of as we continue to tell Tellest’s grand story.\u00a0 Since Gardone has such influence, and we’ve seen several of their characters thus far, it would make sense that we would see them before long, and that they’d have a bigger role to play in the world.\u00a0 It’s likely that as their numbers grow, they’d see the painted version of their sigil show up more often, especially considering they provide a positive outlook for even those without powers.<\/p>\n
