The ancient Guild of Knights was founded to preserve the empire through individual adventure and knight-errantry, rather than actual military affairs, and took its duty in defending the honour of its monarch very seriously. Based out of its ceremonial fortress in [[Seleucar]], the [[Castle of Twelve]], its knights were private citizens who took pride in standing as example to both noble and commoner alike of Honour and Chivalry. Though it had a long-standing friendship with the [[Holy Church]], it was historically founded as a secular organisation. | The ancient Guild of Knights was founded to preserve the empire through individual adventure and knight-errantry, rather than actual military affairs, and took its duty in defending the honour of its monarch very seriously.
