Von Sabot Knight

House von Sabot is the feudal ruler of the city of Luten-Augusburg, but their power extends far beyond the city, even deep into the Unseen. In order to protect their interests, they attract a host of competent knights trained for battle. Because the needs of the von Sabots vary greatly, the knights they employ vary greatly too.
