Chivalry is a noble skill shared by the three knight classes: Infernal, Paladin, and Runewarden. Through Chivalry, knights gain a wide variety of unique abilities, including the companionship of falcons, proficiency in the use of ranged weapons such as bows, and the use of venoms on weaponry.

Abilities in Chivalry

Ability Description
Falcon Use the basic skills to interact with your falcon.
Syntax: FALCON
Details:

The art of Falconry is a noble one indeed. It is a sport reserved solely for those of chivalrous breeding, for a bird as noble as the falcon would never respond to commands given by one without honour.

When you initially gain Falconry, the first thing you must do is find a hatchery. At the hatchery, FALCON REQUEST.

Hatcheries are located in:

(*) the Mhojave desert near the Ruins of el'Jazira

- the Ashtan resource hub

- the Cyrene resource hub

- the Eleusian resource hub

- the Hashan resource hub

- the Mhaldor resource hub

- the Targossas resource hub

- the manor of the Grand Merchant Collective, in Delos

(*) this is the only public hatchery.

Each hatchery gives out a different breed of falcon. The breeds vary in appearance only: capabilities are identical.

Your falcon comes to you with assorted statistics which have been randomly assigned.

If you cause your falcon to die, you will be refused another falcon. There is absolutely no excuse for killing or conspiring to kill your falcon.

Below is a list of commands that may be used once you have gotten your falcon.

FALCON ASSESS  : See information about your falcon.

FALCON RECALL : Recall your falcon to your wrist. Requires a falconry glove.

FALCON SANCTUARY : Order your falcon to a sanctuary where it will be safe.

FALCON LAND  : Order your falcon to land on the ground.

FALCON CIRCLE  : Order your falcon to fly up into the skies.

FALCON TRAIN : Order your falcon to go train, in order to raise a stat.

FALCON REPORT  : Gain information on where your falcon is.

FALCON SLAY  : Order your falcon to slay someone.

FALCON HUNT : When your falcon is hungry, have it go hunt for its food.

FALCON FLEE : Set the amount of health remaining when your falcon will flee battle.

FALCON SLEEP  : Order your falcon to sleep.

FALCON FEED RAT  : Feed the corpses of rats to your falcon.

As your falcon gains in

  • Stamina: its health will increase.
  • Speed: it will attack more quickly as well as fly from place to place more quickly.
  • Strength: it will attack with more power as well as be able to carry larger items.

You will gain other abilities later on in Chivalry that are related to your falcon.

Weathering Increase your ability to weather damage.

Works on/against: Adventurers
"Cooldown" 4.00 seconds of balance
Details:

This ability will barge an adventurer to the direction you choose. To start the ability, you must be in a room adjacent to the room where the target adventurer resides, and you must choose to barge him in a direction that wouldn't take him into the room you are in. So, for instance, say that Isildur is in a room to the north of me, and that this room has another exit to the ne. I would do BARGE ISILDUR NE.

Battlecry Stun a target with the power of your voice.
Syntax: BATTLECRY <target>
Works on/against: Adventurers
Cooldown: 4.00 seconds of equilibrium
Details:

Your battle cry is so powerful that when directed against another, it will blast him to the ground and stun him, provided he isn't deaf.

Syntax: SHOOT <target> <direction>

Cooldown: 3.50 seconds of balance
Details:

Syntax: FALCON RETRIEVE <item>
Details:

Using this ability will cause your falcon to try and pick up an object (which musn't be too large) in the room that it is in, and deliver it back to you. Upon doing so, it would probably be appropriate to say some kind words to your falcon and maybe pet it a bit.

Startle Order your bird to harass an opponent's steed.
Syntax: FALCON STARTLE <target>
Works on/against: Adventurers
Details:

This ability will allow your falcon to startle an opponent's steed, tossing the poor rider off. Note that this works regardless of whether your opponent is on the ground, in the trees, or flying. You simply need be in the same room, and the falcon will fly to the correct elevation to startle your target's mount.

Track Order your falcon to follow and track someone.
Syntax: FALCON TRACK <target>
Works on/against: Adventurers
Details:

This ability is an improved version of falcon follow. With track, even if the falcon temporarily loses its target, because the target went indoors, the falcon will continue to follow the target once the target comes back outside.

Quivers Take full advantage of your quiver.
Syntax: ENVENOM ARROW[S] [number of arrows] <colour> <venom>
INSPECT QUIVER
DYE <number of arrows> ARROW[S] <colour>
SWITCH <colour>
Details:

Your mastery of quivers allows you to dye and envenom arrows from vials in your possession to be stored in your quiver.

When envenoming arrows, if a number of arrows is provided, you will dye and envenom that number of undyed arrows the colour and venom selected. Otherwise, you will coat all your arrows of the selected colour with the venom of your choice.

Inspecting your quiver will show you how many of each colour arrow you possess and what venoms they have been covered with.

Further, you may dye any number of undyed arrows the colour of your choice. However, you will find yourself unable to do so if you have arrows of that colour envenomed within your quiver.

Colours you may use are red, blue, purple, green, black, white, grey, orange, gold, and silver.

To switch to using a specific colour of arrow, simply SWITCH <colour>. If you wish to switch back to using undyed arrows, simply do SWITCH NORMAL.

Defend Attempt to protect someone else with swordwork.
Syntax: DEFEND <target>
Works on/against: Adventurers

Works on/against: Adventurers

Details:

The famed darkbows of Hashan are both expensive and powerful. Only slightly less powerful than a crossbow, they are far more accurate.

Swiftmount Mount or vault your steeds at increased speed.
Syntax: None
Details:

Passive Ability

Fury Temporarily raise your strength.
Syntax: FURY [ON/OFF]
RELAX FURY
Works on/against: Self
Cooldown: 2 seconds of equilibrium
Details:

This will allow you to temporarily raise your strength with 2 points, for no more than a total of 1/4th of each Achaean day. It can be used once a day without cost, but if you turn it off and turn it back on within the same Achaean day, you will incur a cost of 500 willpower each time you turn it back on. Your endurance losses will be significantly higher while Fury is active.
