But it's more from a point of view of originality than law. How about Dark Templars? Knights of Uron? Something of that order (no pun intended.)

Maybe Blizzard has trademark on "Dark Templars" (Starcraft: Brood Wars) too.

hi, i wanted to tell you that your first franken sprits attemps a really good for me, not perfect of course, but the idea and range colour is really nice. I really like the idea, and i hope you'll keep on working that good for an entire faction (not an era) with animations as well.

i suggest a "simple" Knights Templar name for the faction. But you'll have to include the templars graphic caracteristics on some units (red cross on white shirt)

Wesnoth is not reality, so a direct copy of something so specific from the real history would not be appropriate.

Maybe "Twilight Templars" then? It's better than "Dim Templars," at any rate.

Beat me to it.

Honestly, "Templar", "Darkness" and "Blackness" are common use terms. I seriously doubt if anyone has trademarked them, but worse case scenario you have to rename the unit, so I wouldn't worry about it...

They could perversions of the more noble Templar orders, and be Twisted Templars. Or Corrupted Templars

Too long for an unit's name.

I for one would stay away from anything Templar-related because of obvious religious issues*.

* which reminds me of that I still have to finish polishing that ambit of Invasion from the Unknown's storyline.

How about shying away from Knights Templar altogether, and making another Knightly order rather than a templer-ly order, like the KNights Hospitaller.

I'd suggest the name 'Knights Uronnar/Uroniar'.

aside from the naming isue the art is realy good. a masterfly done semi frankenstine, way better than my stuff, it meets the standard wesnoth style/quality. if i can get campgen to work i would like to use the art in my campain.

Yes.
Among all others i thing thespaceinveder's idea is the best one.
'Uronnar Knight' sounds really cool for me and adds their background in the game which can be interesting.
I'm going to modify them because the L2/L3 swords are really too big for them (as someone said before)

You are allowed to do this, I will be very glad for it!
Can't wait to play your campaign in which my Knights can fight in!
So it's better run for animations! ^ ^

L2: fixed sword lenght
L3: fixed sword lenght and size

The level one looks a little awkward - he should be doing something else with HIS left hand, at the moment it looks like it's on his hip.

And personally i;d go for Knights Uronnar rather than Uronnar Knights. It hails more towards the names of the famous knightly orders - Knights Templar (rather than Templar Knights) and Knights Hospitaller.
