What is Currently Known on Ansalon About the Knights

Twenty years after the War of the Lance, very few people in Ansalon have any knowledge of the existance of the Knights of Takhisis. Among those who do, most either refuse to believe what they have been told (the Knights of Solamnia) or are simply too involved in their own political turmoil to care (the elves).

Surprisingly enough, this lack of knowledge extends even among those who might be considered to be the Dark Queen's loyal subjects (dark priests, draconians, and minotaurs). Only someone who might be considered a suitable candidate for recruitment is ever approached by the knights, and then only after a long period of secret surveillance and evaluation. Such a recruit who decides to join would simply drop out of sight, vanish forever to the knowledge of friends and family. Either no recruit has ever turned down such an honour, or they have no survived to speak of it.

The only people truly concerned and aware of the terrible threat posed by this newly emerging force are the robed wizards of Krynn. Even this knowledge is primarily confined to the members of the conclave. All three robes, Black, Red, and White, view these renegade wizards with alarm.

It is speculated that the conclave actually attempted to magically penetrate the secret confines of the Thorn Knights' Tower of High Sorcery. Rumour has it that this attempt was not only easily repelled, but that it had nearly disastrous consequences for the members of the conclave.

All members of the conclave, and in particular Dalamar the Dark, head of the Tower of High Sorcery in Palanthas, are avidly seeking information about the Knights of Takhisis in general, the Grey Robe Knights of the Thorn in particular.

The rest of the people of Ansalon are too busy quarreling and fighting with each other to pay any heed to the deadly lilies that have been planted and are now being cultivated right in their own gardens.
