Knights of Izumo

The Izumo Knights was one of the Thirteen Chivalric Orders that guarded the Japanese server in Elder Tale. After the Catastrophe, however, they mysteriously disappeared.

Prior to the Catastrophe
The Izumo Knights was a faction comprised of Ancients, immensely powerful People of the Land. Sometimes, when large-scale quests like the Return of the Goblin King weren't cleared out in time, they would step in to protect the People of the Land.

They were situated in the Town of Izumo, which is located in the Izumo/Shimane Prefecture in the real world (which, in Elder Tale, is in Holy Empire Westelande territory).

Disappearance
After the Catastrophe, however, they vanished without a trace, their bases completely empty. Although they were actually all killed by the Genius monsters, none of the Adventurers or People of the Land were aware of that. With the status of the Knights a mystery, the nobles of the League of Freedom Cities Eastal decided to keep it a secret from the Round Table Alliance representatives when the nobles needed the Adventurers to help fight the monsters that spawned in huge numbers as a result of the aforementioned quest. However, unlike the Izumo Knights, the Adventurers were not necessarily obligated to fight for the nobility, thereby causing much friction between the two sides.
