The Knights Jaguar are a sister order of the Knights Panther. Their name was given to them by the people of Araby which during the Great Crusade Against Araby grew to fear these knights and named them after jaguars due to the skins of the great cats they wore atop their armour as trophies of their strength.[1a]
The Knights Jaguar ride horses with a blood lineage from the great steeds of Araby.[1a]
History[]
In 1459 IC, an Undead army of the feared Tomb King Philzhar the Scarab Lord unexpectedly withdrew from the gates of Copher and marched into the desert. The crusading order of the Knights Jaguar pursued Philzhar's forces with zealous ferocity just to fall to an ambush laid by the Undead.[1a]
In the valley of Hammurabi the Knights Jaguar suffered heavy casualties, and only a few members of the order managed to escape the valley. Their grand master was last seen being dragged from his horse beneath the sands.[1a]
After the Crusades, the surviving veteran knights of the order returned to the Old World as one of the greatest secular knightly orders the Empire has ever known, and were as celebrated as the Knights Panther and the Order of the Gold Lion.[2a]
