The Order of the Alligator Knights For Sword of Cepheus, Barbaric! & Cepheus Atom

 The Order of the Alligator was founded on a backwater swamp plane that had come into contact with an Arthurian order of knights who were slain saving a group of young Alligator lizardmen mothers &  hatchlings. A survivor of the maccacre of the knights stayed behind to educate the younglings in the precepts,beliefs, & traditions of his knightly order.  The order continued to train even when the old knight had passed on.

Not sure of the artist came across this artwork in a random google image search. Was inspired to create this knighly order. 

Over the centuries the order of Alligator knights has ventured far & wide across the planes vanquishing evils, righting wrongs, & coming to the add of both humanoids, as well as humans. Evil reared its head when Sir Darktooth & his knights plotted with dark powers to murder his fellow knights as a sacrifice to an evil demon. Knight fought against clutch brother & sister. The survivors of Sir Darktooth continued to have a far more darker turn of mind even though the peace between the orders has survived now for eons. 
The Order of the Alligator journeys across the planes with the add of their wizard lizards & draco magus who are often squires who have been wounded in mating battles or veterans who have foresworn the sword. Because the alligator lizard men are so long lived they can easily switch up into magical pursues as they age. The average alligator knight can live into his or her late two hundreds. 
Many knights use the draco mounts, peuso dinodraconic monsters able to easily bare the full weight of a knight into battle. The alligator knights are often seen as slow or ill intelligent by other humanoid & humanoid races. A tactic they often encourage to lull  their enemies into a false sense of superioty until the knights have teeth & blade at the necks of their enemies. The order of alligator knights can be inplacable enemies & have been known to eat their enemies should they absolutely beyond anger with their foes. 
The order of the Alligator knights are not above taking on other humanoid or reptilian squires into their ranks. This has over the centuries included several human champions with whom an alligator knight is often partnered with. Knights are incredibly loyal to both their communities, cities, nest lodges, & the order itself. There are many chapter houses & lodges of the order of the alligator knights scattered across vast stretches of the planes prime.  Choatic & Lawful knights will not fight one another by tradition but they will team up against any manifestation of a demon or devil. They have long standing hatred of the infernal. 
The order of the alligator knights feel that is their civic duty to journey to worlds where human & lizardmen have suffered apocalytic events. They will fight against any mutant, demonic, monsterous horrors that they find in such places. 
The order of the Alligator knights is perfect for Barbaric!, Sword of Cepheus, & Cepheus Atom
