Wave Knights

Wave Knights, Knights of the Golden Wave, or Sea Knights are an ancient order of paladins found throughout the Southern Seas. They were once a vast and powerful order with fleets of ships and networks of communication, and were often employed by kingdoms in large numbers to protect coastal regions. But their order fell into disarray after the Dragon Wars, as most of their ranks were destroyed during the war. Their oath was to protect civilized coastal regions and trade routes from various threats, but most especially the ever looming threat of invasion by Deep Ones.

Shrines
The Order of the Golden Wave maintained a network of shrines to the 12 aspects in ancient times. Each knight's right of passage into the full rank of paladin demanded that they visit and pray at each shrine. Now the shrines have fallen into ruin, as there are not enough keepers of the faith to maintain them.
