The Knights of the Shield was a loose network of nobles and merchants who shared information so that they could each exert influence in their chosen area of interest. The members of the order were for the most part entirely self-interested. They could use the information gained from the organization for the betterment of lives and livelihoods in many lands, but they chose instead to employ it in gaining political leverage and personal advantage.
