Lore[]
"Only that it was once a bastion of the Knights Penitent, the holy order of the Cathedral knights who patrolled the roads, delivering the Light's justice to evil. That is...until they marched away."
- The Wanderer and Zalan Coste(src)
Light's Watch is a fortress in the Fractured Peaks. During the Great Enmity, it was repurposed by the Cathedral of Light to be used as a keep for Knights Penitent, in order to deal with bandits and "other parasites."[1] The garrison sent out knights to patrol the roads in the area, delivering the Light's justice.[2]
At some point, a new batch of recruits were stationed at the keep.[3] Sometime later, the company was ordered to take part in a mission for the Light.[4] This mission involved the knights marching to Kor Valar, and a skeleton crew was left to guard the fort until they would return.[5] However, the mission in question was apparently a suicidal one, as the knights knew they would not return.[4] Such was his despair, the keep's archivist fled before the march began. He tried to convince Knight Soliana Coste to join him, but she refused, such was her dedication to the Light.[6]
After the march, the keep was abandoned, and it was overrun by monsters.[2] There is evidence that the keep may have been overrun, the skeleton crew unable to hold it.[5]
