Long before the rise of the Dominion, before the fractured alliances of the 13 Star Systems, there was Karock—a mountainous, mineral-rich world teetering between natural beauty and ceaseless conflict. Surrounded by tectonic instability and bathed in the glow of a dying red sun, Karock’s people lived hard, fought harder, and revered strength, discipline, and cosmic alignment as sacred virtues. It was a world divided into castes of warriors, seers, builders, and dreamers each isolated, each believing themselves superior. That changed when Avok Buox, a warborn tactician and philosopher, emerged from the forge-clans of the Vallad Highlands. He saw that Karock’s future wasn’t in conquest or dominance, but in unity of honor, bound by a code he would call the Vallah Rule—an ancient creed of balance, courage, loyalty, and sacrifice. Thus, he formed the first unified martial order in Karock’s history: The Knights of Karock.
LATEST PODCAST EPISODE
Avok Buox – The Grand Charger
A visionary and warrior of rare balance. Avok wore not just armor of alloy and fireplate, but the burden of rebuilding a world from its own brokenness. He forged the Vallah Rule from the teachings of ancient starlore and battle-tested discipline. His leadership ignited the order—and his death during the Siege of the Molten Spire turned him into a martyr of cosmic proportion.
Gaslay Veraditch – The Flame Herald
A war-savant from the obsidian wastes of Karock’s southern hemisphere. Gaslay wielded a fire-axe forged from corestone and spoke in prophetic riddles. His battles were poetry. He was said to have slain ten Curak warlords during the fall of the Second Cycle. His fate remains unknown, though myths claim he walks the ghost realms of the Veil
Callanous Jagget – The Shield Prime
Once a pit-fighter from the crater cities of Iskar Draal, Callanous rose through discipline and spiritual awakening. He became the first to take the Oath of Stillness, guarding peace with violence only when necessary. When Karock was burned by off-world invaders, it was Callanous who rallied the fractured knightly banners back to war.
Mireen Dovaxx – The Silver Talon
A skyfighter and aerial duelist, Mireen piloted the Skyclad, a relic Karockian glider fitted with kinetic spears. She led the orbital patrol wings that kept the surface defended from off-world raiders during the great exodus wars. Many of her students would form the next generation of airborne Knight-Wardens.
Torth Sarvak – The Iron Scribe
More scholar than soldier, Torth was entrusted with preserving the Code and its interpretation through generations. He designed the Codex Vaults, built beneath the Vallah Temple, and scribed the infamous "Karockan Oath Leaves," indestructible metallic scrolls said to update themselves with blood-bonded
Vel Dross – The Voidbreaker
A former mercenary who chose redemption through the Vallah Rule. Dross led the early campaigns beyond Karock, engaging with other planetary cultures and establishing Knight enclaves across the galaxy.
Kaelor Thann – The Reforged
Once a Dominion soldier who deserted after the massacre of a neutral colony. He was taken in by surviving Knight-seers and purified through trials in silence. Now he wears the Broken Crest, a symbol of his past and the justice he seeks to reclaim.
