Knights of Izumo

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

Overview
The Knights of Izumo was a faction comprised of Ancients, immensely powerful People of the Earth. It was said to have been founded by the Mofur sisters, Lelia and Litka, who were set to be Level 65 at a time when the Adventurer level cap was 50. Sometimes, when large-scale quests like the Return of the Goblin King weren't completed in time, they would step in to protect the People of the Earth.

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

The Mofur sisters, however, lived separately from them after the level 65 sisters were sufficiently outclassed by the Adventurers &mdash; and after the entrance to their cave was blocked (from a Theldesian perspective; from a meta perspective, their content was written out in favor of new events and quests), they fell into a deep sleep for many years. As a result, they were spared the fate that befell the rest of the Chivalric Orders.

Return of the Goblin King arc
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 Earth were aware of that.

With the status of the Knights a mystery, the nobles of the Eastal League of Free Cities 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 Knights of Izumo, the Adventurers were not necessarily obligated to fight for the nobility, thereby causing much friction between the two sides.
