The Hecks are a Hessen Knight Order formed by Hellwig von Gustavus in the grand tradition of Hesse knight rank dignity, uniting all the knight orders of Hesse, Munchkein, Stollhofen, Himyar, and Tetonique.
The current ranking Grand Master of the Hecks is Kane Kurig
The Hecks’ fortress headquarters, The Round Tower is positioned upon the strategic high ground on the high eastern hill above Augstat, near Gunterbrink, Hesse’s infamous military prison the Hecks operate.
The Hecks serve as an auxilia to the War Hawks 10th Legion, fulfilling roles as heavy cavalry, armored knights on warhorses, and the “Heavy Boots”, heavy infantry.
The Hecks are comprised of lesser knight orders, such as the Noble Order of the Golden Antlers, the konig of Hesse’s royal guards; the Knight Order of Teton; and the Dwarven Host from Stollhofen.
