Order of Iron
The Order of Iron is an order of Knights that stand guard on the Forge World of Stryken Primus.[1]
Overview
The Stryken System contains three Knight Worlds (Stryken II, IV and V) that host eleven knightly houses between them. To ensure the protection of Stryken Primus, the principal world of the system, each of these three planets pledges the service of their greatest warriors to the Order of Iron, who stand vigil on Stryken Primus in lieu of a Titan Legion.[1]
Service in the Order is considered a great honour and as such competition for a place in its ranks is fierce. The leader of the Order, designated by the title Forge Warden, holds power equivalent to the High King of a Knight House in its own right.[1]
Among the Knight Houses known to contribute members to the Order are House Arokon and House Dorath.[1]
