Sisterhood of the Knot

The  was an arcane society which existed in all Histories, but was especially powerful in a few. It worshipped the Red Grail, the Ring-Yew, and the Horned-Axe. Its books were written mostly in Greek and Aramaic.

Origins
The founding of the mortal society of the Sisterhood of the Knot is unclear, but its first precursors may be found in the peace-treaty which ended the Lithomachy. The Grail, Yew, and Axe brokered a treaty in which the Grail would destroy the Yew's lover, in exchange for the killings of the Gods-from-Stone. From this destruction, however, the Grail raised the Thunderskin, thus gaining power over the -principle. This may have set the stage for enmity within the Sisterhood, such as the followers of the Yew ritually denouncing the Grail.

Saints
The Sisterhood of the Knot venerated many saints. These included Saint Nympha, a Burgeoning Risen, and Saint Tryphon, a mortal who became Long through -ascension. A heretical offshoot, the "True Sisterhood", venerated Saint Respicius, a mortal who attempted to become Long through -ascension, but was killed by the larger Sisterhood.

Church of the Unconquered Sun
In some histories, the Sisterhood influenced the Church of the Unconquered Sun, which came to venerate their Hours as well as the Sun-in-Splendour. This was controversial within the Church.

War of the Roads
In the War of the Roads, the Sisterhood joined forces with the Church of the Unconquered Sun to defend against the Leashed Flame. The Leashed Flame were defeated, but at incredible cost - though the Sisterhood's martyr-soldiers were burned by the Sovereigns of the Leashed Flame, the Flame was unleashed and devoured the Sovereigns.
