Humanity has once again been granted dominion of the well-used and often misused Earth. The Ninth World isthe Last World. We shall call it Midgard and defend it in the name of humanity. These arethe aspects of the world that stand in the way of humanity’s dominion: creatures from elsewhere, predatory horrors lingering from a nonhuman past, humans that have turned on their own kind by committing crimes against their own kind, and any who prevent the greater good anywhere. These aspects of the world shall be eliminated by sword or flame, in the name of Midgard and the spirit of Angule.

Throughout the Steadfast, justice is sometimes meted at the end of a blade unaligned with any king or prince. The Angulan Knights are an order dedicated to the advancement of humanity as a species. They not only ignore local governments, class distinctions, and religious differences, they abhor those things. Angulan Knights feel empowered to right wrongs, pass judgments, and see justice done, and few stand in their way.
