Just imagine all the death threats the devs would get from Aymeric's fangirls if they were to do that >_>

To be fair, Ishgard hasn't had someone worthy of the crown since Thordan.

King Aymeric ftw.

Thordan the I was no "Great King" after all it was his greed and lust for power that started the Dragonsong War in the 1st Place. Haldrath would have been a good leader just for the simple fact he refused the position because he deemed himself unworthy due to his part in Ratatoskr's death and Nidhogg's defeat.

The 4 living members of the Knights 12 became the 4 High Houses and that was that, cue events that lead to Heavensward. (Also, I noticed the "holy knights" lead by the Archbishop are the Heaven's Ward so title of the expansion may refer to them as well as "taking to the heavens" either that or their name is an intentional nod towards the title)

more than 4 survived but i cant remember the exact number but i know there were at least 5 cause i remember 1 of them jokeing about handing out ale instead of death. which i think was prolly the one who started up the "forgotten knight" tavern.

The 4 High House founders pluss Haldritg, The First Azure Dragoon, make 5. And I don't think The Forgoyten Knight taver would be that old.

true but the one im talking about was 1 of the ones that used sword/shield. at the end i think i rem them asking if he would stay with them or leave. and then he said something about how he was done with fighting and joked about how we would rather like to "hand out ale instead of death."

Now that I think of it, the legend about the battle with Nidhogg said " Thorden and Half of his knights lay dead So that would meen there was a 6th survining Knight. (because half of 12 is of course 6)

Yep, apparently. lol

Even if he wasn't the founder (not to say he didn't found a tavern) the Forgotten Knight was obviously named in his honor.

The leader of the chocobo hunters on dravania, looks really similar like another of the knights that left.
