Welcome to the World of Io.  

Now, each of you carries a mark; a tattoo, somewhere on your body. Some are large, some are tiny; some are hidden, others worn proudly, but the image is always the same.  It is that of a knight's gauntlet, coiled into a fist, a great horned owl perched upon it.

This mark binds you all together as members of a secret order of adventurers, thieves, holy men, bounty hunters; unsavory, perhaps, to the short lives of those around them, but in the grand weave of Io, you are still its heroes.
And this brotherhood can cross dimensions, sail the stars of the deep night, and spans countless lifetimes. For these stories are mere vignettes to the grand arc, tales spun in whispers through the duskmeadow, around the burning campfires of the veil, and deep in the slums of the pale; broken heroes of great renown and glorious, horrible ends, its saga known only under the name of the Knight Owls.

Let us begin.

**Though this game setting utilizes the 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons ruleset, it is played within a custom world constructed by Adam Drake Summerer.  It has its own deep history, a secret pantheon in addition to the 5E set, and a vast, ever-growing library of custom content including equipment, magic items, potions, feats, and home-brew class options.

  The Knight Owls is a long-running, episodic fantasy adventure that supports players dropping in and out.  Your character level is dictated by the episode you are attending.  You can bring a character that you've played in a previous episode (as long as they are still alive) or make a brand new one.  
  This page, and its adjoining content, are used as tools and resources for all past and future Knight Owls.  Utilize the links below or in the drop-down menus to get a feel for the world and what you can do between sessions.  Have fun, and I'll see you at the table.

The Knights Archive

Those who ignore the mistakes of the past are bound to repeat them, but those who ignore good strategies are guaranteed to meet a crispy end, so the Tenrook have put together this collection of scrolls and entries detailing each adventuring Season completed by the Knight Owl Order and any adjoining fiction.  Reading this archive will NEVER be a requirement of play in ANY session; it is only there for your exploration and immersion.
