Euroguard is the battalion that typically includes our Knights from the European time zones, although some hail from as far as central Asia, and location is not a requirement for membership.

Euroguard has traditionally been the graveyard shift, awake while America sleeps, safeguarding the Knights when only we are able to.

Those who wish to be the shield that guards the Knights in the small hours. From the Atlantic coast in the West to the Ural River in the East, from the Mediterranean in the South to the Arctic waters in the North.

The Euroguard are a battalion for all those living on the European continent and its surrounding islands. They work to protect our Order when the ANZAC troops have already gone to bed and when our North-American brethren have yet to wake up.

Flag of the Knights of Nevermore

Nevermore

The Knights of Nevermore were a general purpose battalion of April Knights based for people living in continental Europe. All the Knights that were in this battalion that were active on the server were a part of Aurelia.

Ancient Mottos

Always Red at heart -Legendosh

Be like Keira Knightley or you'll be kicked out. -Legendosh, being a shitposter as usual

Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.” -Edgar Allen Poe, the assumed origin of the battalion's name

Ancient Chronicles of Nevermore

It was said that LeeNobody was commanded to raise a glorious battalion of knights to guard during European daylight hours. He found 5 brave knights to join him in this quest.

The Button Campaign

Knights of Nevermore had very little coordination as a battalion and most of its contribution seems to be on an individual status. It is unknown how many Knights of Nevermore were able to press but it is known Legendosh, who would lead the battalion later wouldn't get the chance to press.

Interregnum and Join Robin

During the Interregnum, Legendosh was given control of what remained of the battalion and was made Lord Commander of Nevermore. The battalion system was shortly discarded shortly after during the Join Robin campaign as the April Knights didn't have the numbers to divide themselves into smaller battalions. Only two battalions remained during this period, the Redguard and the Knights of the Church.

Recommission and Circle of Trust

During the Circle of Trust Campaign, the battalions were reformed as the Knights finally had the numbers that the Grandmaster couldn't afford to control all Knights at once and needed Commanders to help. The Knights of Nevermore were one of the first battalions to be recommissioned since it was important to have the European Knights organized. The battalion's own circle eventually gained 32 members and was never betrayed.

After Sequence

Enda became the new commander of the Knights of Nevermore after Legendosh left the Knights.
