So, one question that has come up in discussion recently is where we fit, in character, within the hierarchy of the Knights of the Ebon Blade.
We are the Knights of the Ebon Blade. When you see the nameless Death Knight NPCs, that's us. We are the active extension of Acherus; not the generals, not the Horsemen.
We answer to the Deathlord, who for our purposes is as nameless, genderless, and factionless as can be in order to preserve the fantasy.
The only reason I, as guild master, have given a rank high enough to my character within the game's Knights of the Ebon Blade is to establish a reasonable assumption that he reports to the Deathlord for our guild's RP activity needs. In my mind, when the Deathlord sends out champions for missions, our Knights are the ones that accompany them.
It's not glamorous, but it does allow a kind of storytelling start that has plenty of flexibility. We can be more than the ghouls, but not so very special snowflake that we upset the RP apple cart, as it were.
I hope this helps clear the air a bit, but if you'd like to discuss it further, or have questions/comments for clarification, I'd love to hear from you and add to this post!
Thanks for your time.
