The Order of the White Stone is the largest of the orders of chivalry. It includes 9,000 knights. They are all men, their commander is Caitlin Arat. The Knights of the White Stone call her the Mother of the Order. All the knights of the order are completely and absolutely devoted to her and are ready to go even to certain death for the sake of their commander.
