Knights of the Pillar: Formed in response to the excesses of Isobaran nobility and born out of the so-called Gilday Riot of 1010, the Knights of the Pillar are technically an outlaw band of cavaliers. Largely supported in their efforts to combat the corruption of local Isobaran nobles and protect its peoples, its name was chosen to reflect its belief in the common man as the pillar of society. A number of them follow the Althean or even Tarien faith, though not exclusively.

Due to the outlaw nature of this so-called order, it is less accepted as a formal order of Cavaliers by the others. Moreover, its members often have some kind of colorful face covering, along with the elaborate dresscode the order is known for. Knights of the Pillar are often found carrying on its tradition outside of Isobar when their identities have been compromised back home. The order also possesses a distinct lack of leadership, which is also considered a necessary safety feature.
