This article is about the organisation as a whole. For the individuals that make up the order, see Black Knight.

The Kinshra, often referred to as the Black Knights, are a Zamorakian military order based primarily in and around northern Asgarnia. The Kinshra were official defenders of the Kingdom of Asgarnia for roughly 154 years, although their presence within the nation was and continues to be a constant point of political tension. The group is currently led by Lord Daquarius Rennard, a former resident of Falador.

The Kinshra order helped the nomadic King Raddallin to establish Asgarnia in Year 8 of the Fifth Age. However, this decision placed them in close proximity with the White Knights, with whom they had a long-standing rivalry that had at times been violent. Although the two officially remained allies even as Asgarnia became one of Gielinor's largest human nations, their rivalry continued to grow. The two fought for more than a century to gain the upper hand in the nation's government, resulting in constant power shifts and political upheaval. In Year 163, the White Knights siezed political supremecy, resulting in the Kinshra's banishment from the kingdom. The two have since been open enemies, and are currently engaged in a complex and many-faceted war.

The group now resides primarily in the Black Knights' Fortress on Ice Mountain, as well as in Taverley Dungeon. In addition to being militarily powerful, the Kinshra are also an extremely politically active organisation and have had many allies and affiliates throughout their existence. The group is currently associated with multiple other organisations, most of which are Zamorakian in attitude. These include the Renegade Knights, ZMI, Dark Warriors, and Dagon'hai. They are also allies of the Mahjarrat Lucien.
