The Knights of Harmony are an ancient order associated with the Elements of Harmony.
History
Founded on the island of Cunabula, the Knights originally consisted of two sets of three siblings from the island’s royal families. Seeking to share the Magic of Harmony with the world, they took a Tree of Harmony to four different lands. Abyssinia received the Tree of Purpose, Caninia was gifted the Tree of Family, Farasi became home to the Tree of History, and Ornithia was bestowed the Tree of Love. Together with Cunabula’s Tree of Patriotism, these four served as symbols and sources of powerful magic to the lands where they stood.
The Knights built temples for each Tree, connected by a monitoring system with five indicator lights, one for each Tree. Over time, however, the lights went dark as each land’s Elements of Harmony fell into disuse, until only one remained lit. Through subsequent generations, new Knights continued to monitor the temples. By the time of Twilight Sparkle, the Knights had come to hold Equestria, which had gained its own Tree of Harmony, responsible for some crime.[1]
A member of, or observer for, the Knights noticed when a display lit up for the temple in Farasi, and hurried to alert their commander.[2] Later, when another light illuminated for the temple of Caninia, an observer-whether the same or another was unclear-called for a meeting of the Knights.[3] Another alert was sounded following the activation of the Abyssinia temple.[4]
