- "Sir Knight, in three hundred years none have stood against us and lived. Step forward and claim what is yours by right. May your faith be true."
- ―Sir Amiel
Sir Amiel Lannus (better known as Sir Amiel) was the head of the Knights of the Nine, before the Order fell apart. Sir Amiel's Ring unlocks the Priory of the Nine's secret underbelly.
History
Sir Amiel Lannus founded The Knights of the Nine in 3E 111, following his heroic return from the War of the Isle, with the purpose of recovering the Crusader's Relics, the weapons and armor of Pelinal Whitestrake, which had been lost for thousands of years.
He led the Knights against the Wyrm of Elynglenn to recover the Cuirass of the Crusader, which had not been seen since the First Era. This established the Knights fame early on.
In 3E 121 the War of the Red Diamond began, Sir Amiel was unable to keep his knights out of the war, due to the fame which the Knights were built on. The Knights of the Nine were officially dissolved, by Imperial decree, in 3E 131.
The last reported sighting of any of the Knights of the Nine is that of Sir Amiel. He was reported by a passing traveller to have been living alone in the Priory of the Nine in 3E 150.
In 3E 153 Sir Amiel dies, attempting to recover the Helmet of the Crusader in The Shrine of the Crusader, an Ayleid Ruin called Vanua, intended as the shrine of Pelinal Whitestrake. He leaves his journal which tells how to find the pieces of the Relics of the Crusader. In his journal, Sir Amiel frequently blames himself for the collapse of the order and calling himself 'a foolish old man' regarding the departure of Sir Berich Vlindrel and murder of Sir Caius. At some time in the 3E 430's Sir Amiel guided the hero of Kvatch (with the help of the ghosts of his fellow knights) to reunify the Relics of Pelinal Whitestrake, original Divine Crusader and predecessor of the hero. Under the help of Sir Amiel and the other knights, the hero found all relics and rebuilt the Knights of the Nine.
