I recall a Knightly Order or similar organization dedicated to preserving and promoting art. I want to say that it was called something like "Knight of the Chord," but I don't have a lot of confidence that I'm not just making that up.
I feel like I came across it in a 2nd edition splatbook, but it might be from 3.0 or 3.5, also.
Does this ring any bells for anyone?
Knight of the Chord was a prestige class in Monte Cook's Complete Book of Eldritch Might. They also appear in his Ptolus setting and the Banewarrens module set there.
Awesome, thanks. That must be it. I'm in a years-long PbP Ptolus campaign, and that must be where I saw it.
Thanks again!
