Hear Ye Hear Ye Hear Ye!

The annual Knights Regnum Caelestis Grand Conclave of 2018 ishere! This year we are hosted in the wonderfully diverse city of Killeen, TX.Our host encampment, Austin no. 2., welcomes you to a weekend filled with wisdom, chivalry, and fellowship.

How we got here

The story of the Knights Regnum begins in 1998, in the town of Dripping Springs. For a decade, the fraternity operated as a service organization and gaming club without any formal structures other than the leading triumvirate, council, and membership at large. In 2003, the document titled “purpose, passion, and performance” was penned by founding member Justin Glosson. In 2008, in the absence of the other triumvirate members, Sir Knight Glosson was given permission to experiment with recruitment, initiation, and hierarchical design in the game World of Warcraft. This led to the development, and reconstitution, of the Knights Regnum Caelestis, in 2011, unifying the digital and local bodies into one. Now, 20 years after our founding, we are blessed to have strong foundations, forward momentum, and a desire to learn more esoteric wisdom.

What’s new this year?

Austin no 2. has provided us with a 1,200 sq. ft. home just east of Fort Hood, with plenty of parking and a massive acre of back yard for the performance of ritual and combat training. Hailing back to the days of the Johnson City conclave, the host has graciously allowed us to repurpose several rooms. We will have guest rooms (WITH BEDS!) and a conference hall, including a meditation chamber and ritual hall.

                Additionally, we will have four paper presentations, hiking, combat training, and home cooked meals alongside digital collaboration with members from across the globe.

Special Guests

We are very fortunate that one of our founding members will be in attendance this year. Keith Owen Stewart, originator of our open and welcoming perspective to all religions and philosophies of the exalted path, will be in attendance for this conference. Additionally, we will have a live candidate for the Order of Chivalry, Suzy Stewart!

Thanks to our Host!

Our conference space is made possible by Greg and Ambrosia Moore, through our host, Lady Knight Tina N. Moore. They have heroically offered their lovely home for our usage, and we couldn’t say thank you loudly enough.
