Overview

Counted among Midland's premier forces, the White Tiger Knights carried the white distinction reserved for the army's most honored soldiers, the very same rank the kingdom bestowed on its finest. The order is represented chiefly through its unnamed leader, who spoke for the knights across both eras of their service.

Role

Near the end of the Hundred-Year War, the knights moved to seize the fortress of Doldrey, but the assault cost them dearly. Their command element was wiped out by the Purple Rhino Knights, and their main body was cut down by nearly four tenths. Their leader afterward challenged Griffith when the White Falcon voiced his own ambition to take Doldrey. Long after, that same commander answered to the reborn Griffith, numbered among the nobles charged with guarding the Pontiff during the decisive battle with Ganishka, and he went on to witness the dawn of Fantasia.
