The elite paladins of [[City - Silverwall]], powerful and devoted warriors who take the **Oath of the Mountainlord** beneath the celestial glow of the Silver Scale. They are good-aligned protectors of the ancient balance, though they observe strange customs.
## Overview
The Order of the Silver Scale has served as the sworn protectors of the Silverwall throne for centuries. Their primary place of worship is the **Keepers Temple of Silver**, a holy shrine at the base of Mount Taralest that houses a genuine scale of the silver dragon **Vombraxx**.
The Order believes that Vombraxx, the Silver Dragon of legend, will eventually awaken to destroy the kingdoms of men — yet they remain devoted protectors of the realm despite this belief.
## Membership
The Order numbers around **20 warriors**, each said to be the equal of 10 ordinary men. They are led by [[NPC - Saint Anton]], a young half-orc newly appointed to the mantle of leadership.
