Tiffy is a Temple Knight, not a White Knight. They are related, but totally separate organisations.

As for the Siege, this more or less happened:

1) Vallance falls ill, the White Knights take over
2) Amik declares the Kinshra have no more power
3) Lord Milton declares war
4) Battle of North Falador
5) Sulla assassinates Milton
6) Sulla prepares for war, tired of diplomacy, and tests his chaos dwarf mortars on the monastery
7) Siege of Falador

@Wahi: Good points. I miss child Smiddi. :P But then they did terrible things with a bunch of imaginary children in Vengeance, Tolna and most recently the youngest generation of Fairweathers. I suppose none of those were actually in combat... But what about Philippe?
There is no proof whatsoever that the King fell ill. The only solid evidence is that no one has seen the king since the announcement of the White Knights seizing power. Even though by Asganrnian Law the prince is the one who should have taken over when the king is incapacitated or dead.

Sit Tiffy is a White Knight, of which the Temple Knights are a sub-organisation.

^ Yeah but they are saying the King is not so ill as to not give orders. This is actually quite a common thing in these sort of societies.

The White and Temple Knights are entirely separate organisations. The link is that the Temple Knights recruit exclusively from the White Knights. They may not always have been separate but are now. Also the Temple Knights predate the White Knights I believe.

The king falling ill is from Varrock Museum; it may not bnecessarily be true, but it's what we have right now.

As Balustan said, the White Knights and Temple Knights are entirely separate organisations - only the TK recruit from the WK and they are both based in Falador, but that's it. Tiffy is not a White Knight, he is Head of Recruitment for the Temple Knights. Also, the White Knights were a minor force in pre-Asgarnia, presumably founded in the late Fourth Age, while the Temple Knights date back to the God Wars.

The WK and TK both were very much separate factions in the battle against Grayzag, and Sir Owen was recruited by Tiffy after he got dismissed from the WK for assassinating Iban. Also, Sir Vyvin, a WK, sells WK armour and Tiffy, a TK, sells TK armour.

Perhaps you're half right; perhaps we can't win. But we can fight.

Don't forget that the original developer was planning to show a darker side of the Temple Knights as hinted by Juna's Tears of Guthix dialogues:
"I have heard tales of these 'Temple Knights' from many years past. Be wary, their motivations are not what they might lead you to believe."
"That was a strange response to such an unfortunate event. But the motives of the Temple Knights have always been incomprehensibly unbalanced."

I remember reading an AMA of him a long time ago too.

Bob the Cat has similar suggestions in some dialogue.

Aye, that AMA is where I got the Tutorial Island bit from. And Mod Ash mentioned somewhere (Reddit DoD Q&A?) that there was going to be a very violent interrogation (read: torture) scene that was scrapped.
