Knights of the Thorn
Knights of the Thorn are an order of wizards. They operate completely outside the Towers of High Sorcery on Ansalon, refuse to swear any allegiance to any of the three robes, including black, and are therefore considered renegade wizards by all members of the conclave.
Unlike the wizards of the conclave, the Grey Robe Knights, as they are known, work with dark priests - Knights of the Skull - in maintaining order both in conquered lands and their own home territories. The Thorn Knights are of a special type. They may not wear armour while casting spells, and reduce their weapon proficiencies to those available to wizards (they may still use weapons they have been proficient in earlier, such as swords). Their THAC0 is either as a wizard or 5th-level fighter, whichever is better.
