Knights Templar We are a group of survivors organized and dedicated to the assistance of those living Maltonites in need that we come in contact with. Initially forming in Yagoton in July 2006, the Knights soon moved to Kempsterbank to help rebuild after the Big Bash had ransacked the whole of the suburb, and further expanded local operations into Wray Heights in 2009. Mobile elements of the Templars have seen service in every corner of the city on various campaigns and occasions. The Knights have worked with many of the other neighboring groups to help maintain the survivor cause during this time. Quite simply, we are an Urban Dead group dedicated to defending Kempsterbank and its surroundings from zombie threats.

Goals

We intend to maintain the whole of Kempsterbank along with our allies by:

• Supporting other survivors by offering aid and revivification to those who request it.
• Scouting and alerting the inhabitants of buildings threatened by zombies outside to take cover and pointing them in the direction of a secure house.
• Securing buildings under our care and maintaining the barricades and generators to help give those in the area a better chance to get equipment necessary for getting by.

Finally, the goal of every living person in Malton, and the ultimate goal of our group, survival.

Recruitment

Why join the Knights Templar?

Why NOT join should be the question. We are a highly active, effective, and close-knit group of fighters who have come together to rid Kempsterbank and surrounding suburbs of the undead threat. We work closely with our friends and allies. If you wish to delve deeper into the world that is Malton, the Knights Templar is the group for you!

How to join the Knights Templar:

Joining is simple! Look for any of our members inside the Whitenoll Building or the surrounding area, and they can help you out from there. If you want to be a little more formal, or just cut right to it, visit us at our forum and ask to be a part of our illustrious group!

Upon joining...

All new recruits, regardless of level and experience, will at first be a part of the Grasshoppers Guild. Newer players will be trained in any and all aspects of the game and will be helped to level up quickly. A minimum set of skills will be required to move up in the KT ranks, and the Guild is where you'll get them.

For more experienced players, your time in the Guild will be spent getting to know your fellow Knights, acquainting yourself with our policies and procedures, and participating in operations in Templar territory, giving you a chance to show us what you've got.

Group Structure

The Knights Templar is divided into three groups by function. Upon completion of your time in the Grasshoppers Guild, you'll be asked to choose which specialist group you would like to take part in.

The Order of the Archangel Michael (OAM)

This team patrols Kempsterbank and peripheral territories, runs strikes on known zed hangouts, and generally protects K-Bank from hostile forces within our borders. This is probably the group for you if you like to play at your own pace and work a little more independently.

Cleansing Fire of St. Charles (CFSC)

This is the elite, highly mobile fighting force of the Knights Templar. CFSC operates wherever help is needed in Malton. This team consists of our most experienced and trustworthy Knights.

Colonial Expeditionary Force (CEF)

This team of volunteers works to protect the suburb of Wray Heights, expanding the Knights' mission to this new region and bearing with them the proud Templar tradition. In addition to the defense of resources vital to those living in the Heights the CEF works to spread the Templar message to anyone who might listen, encouraging all survivors to take up arms in the righteous cause.

Revive Points

We run revive points at Ebbutt Road (57,76) and Ware Walk (51,74) in Kempsterbank. As of February 2009, we have begun operating a revive point at Trivola Street (64,72) in Wray Heights.

If we are not already familiar with you, please be patient while we check your profile for PKing, GKing, RKing, or other offenses. For faster service, please request a revive via our forum.

Contact Us

Please feel free to drop us a line via our wiki discussion page or on the KT forum to contact us, or stop by our stronghold at the Whitenoll Building, normally staffed by a handful of members. We monitor the radio frequencies 27.55 (Kempsterbank) and 26.16 (Wray Heights), which you can also use to reach us. If there is ever anything you need, please feel free to use any of these methods to get a hold of us.

Always at your service,

the Knights Templar.

The Kempsterbank Journal

This is a public forum for the whole suburb that we created, available here.

Sons of Kempsterbank

Two of our members, CoffinBob and Vidad12, have kindly contributed their time and efforts to produce a semi-regular webcomic entitled Sons of Kempsterbank, immortalizing past deeds of the Knights (with some artistic license taken as to the setting). All issues to date are archived on that page.

Recent Events and Victories

2009

Sep 15

Two of our most valiant Knights have received promotions. Vidad12 has been promoted to OAM Commander and THarley09 has been promoted to CFSC Commander. Expect new and exciting adventures for both teams soon! Congratulations guys. Roddy Winters 00:32, 16 September 2009 (BST)

Sep 9

After several months of excellent service as the Senior Drill Instructor, CoffinBob has decided to step down from that position, and move to the CEF team. His assistant Jimbo3 is appointed the new Senior Drill Instructor. Roddy Winters 03:06, 11 September 2009 (BST)

Sep 6

We have officially launched our permanent base in Wray Heights. Called the "Colonial Expeditionary Force" or CEF for short, this group of Knights, while still part of the team as a whole, will be for the most part independent of our Kempsterbank operations. If anyone who frequents Wray Heights would like to join up and lend a hand for the greater good of the burb, please get in touch with us via our forum, or contact one of our members in-game.

It has been way too long since the last update. Since the MOB invasion, the Knights successfully made their way back into Kempsterbank and managed to bring it back to life. The CFSC returned from their outing to Dulston to lend a hand in the recovery efforts. Lately, while the rest of the suburb has been fairly stable, the SFHNAS along with some new playmates have been relentlessly attacking the Whitenoll / Jillard area. It has been a constant back and forth struggle with no clear winner thus far.

On the bright side, on this day the Knights set a new record for membership with 63 current members, becoming the 9th overall rated group in the game! Roddy Winters 03:49, 5 September 2009 (BST)

July 29

Though the sad news of Detulux Inc.'s unexpected exodus from the Malton zone has put something of a damper upon the Knights' high spirits, the recapture and speedy reconstruction of Saint Ferreol's Hospital's damaged wards has been a welcome change. Some of the younger knights unable to bunk at the Whitenoll Building have been seen at St. F's drinking anything that wouldn't strike them blind and carousing with area nurses.

July 25

After being scattered by the MOB, the Knights re-grouped in West Grayside, and began the rebuilding of that area along with the generous help the local survivor groups. We have now moved back to Kempsterbank, where progress is being made rapidly. Roddy Winters 15:37, 25 July 2009 (BST)

July 14

Kempsterbank has been almost totally devastated by the MOB and other zombies groups. The Knights are forced to move to a rally point other than Whitenoll for the first time in many months. But, a plan has been formed, and the reclamation of K-bank is soon to commence.

On the bright side, we have recently brought several new members into the Templar Order. All of them well-qualified, hearty types whom we have had the pleasure of battling along side of before. The Knights happily welcome them into the fold! Roddy Winters 13:07, 14 July 2009 (BST)

July 10

The MOB have taken Pole Mall and are poised to head north into Kempsterbank. The Knights are readying themselves to keep the suburb in survivor hands as much as possible. Roddy Winters 04:02, 11 July 2009 (BST)

July 4

The OAM team has divided to help defend both the Jillard NT area and the Neot Hospital areas against zed attack. St. Georges Hospital and other neighboring buildings have seen several break-ins over the last few days. Roddy Winters 05:11, 5 July 2009 (BST)
