____K.O.N.A. stands for the Knights of the New Age. They are a shadow of a great fellowship of the past. Their goal: to keep the peace between the Humans and Mystics, and keep the balance and harmony of the world. The Knights serve no king. No president. No leader. They serve only the land.

...The Races...

____There are several races in the world of the Knights. There are humans, Mystics and Savages.

In the modern day it is the Humans who are in control and the most abundant. They are...well, human. You know the feeling. Idealistic. Visionary. Constructive. Imaginitive. Destructive. Arrogant. Peaceful. Violent. Humans are everywhere on the map.

But before humans there were the Mystics. Mystics cannot be defined as one thing. They are the Elves. They are the wizards. They are the demons, and they are the ghosts. They are any of those whimsical, magical creatures you would define as "Myth". They once ruled the earth somwhere between the Dinosaurs and Mankind. But their age has ended...for now.

In the realm of the Savage Islands one of the most overlooked peoples are the Savages. Technically they are Human, but their attitudes and charictaristics are that of the Mystics. They are the natives of the western islands. Long ago they lived in scattered tribes, until the people of the east began to colonize the Savage Islands. The Savages were booted off their own land and driven into poverty. In the modernday they are just an impoverished minority. Though every Savage tribe is unique and distinct, they all have one similarity: their love of animals. Most savages carry two names: their first name and their animal name (which is a sort of last name). They sometimes have a real animal familiar as well (called "Anima"). This is just a traditional thing, but some believe that their Anima carry special powers...

...the history...

____To know the history of the knights, you kinda gotta undertand their world. Back in the day (thousands of years ago) Humans and Mystics lived in harmony. It was a golden age. The thanks for this era goes to the Ancient Knights. They were human warriors, trained by the elves, who helped keep the peace between the Humans and Mystics. Their home base was a castle called "Fort Hope", which is where many representatives of the various Mystic races could meet and discuss their political problems and issues. The world was led the the example of the Ancient Knights. It was a time of hope.

But it didn't last. The new Human king of Langhsire Island (the capitol island of the country) was paranoid of the Mystics and the powers they held. The humans soon adopted a new attitude to the creatures they shared their world with. Xenophobia took over. The king declared Mystics to be outlaws and put a bounty on their heads. The Mystic population dropped drastically. When the king looked to the Ancient Knights to help "protect" his kingdom from the Mystics the Knights refused. Nor did they take the Mystic's side. They remained absolute to their cause and offered to mediate between the Humans and Mystics.

The King declared war on the Knights. Fierce battles raged, and in the end the Humans won over the Knights and Mystics. The age of Humans had begun. Meanwhile, the few surviving Knights fled west, into the Savage Islands. There they were aided by the Savage peoples and the Elves and began to rebuild the order of the Ancient Knights. The new order lasted several hundred years until the Domestic humans of the east began colonizing the Savage Islands. Once again swords clashed and blood spilled and once again the Ancient Knights were defeated and the Human's rule fell over the land.
