The '''Guild of Knights''' was | The '''Guild of Knights''' was refounded in 889 AF, built upon the vision of its original namesake and pledged to safeguard the legacy and traditions of knighthood. | ||

==History== | |||
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 Honor and Chivalry. Though it had a long-standing friendship with the [[Holy Church]], it was historically founded as a secular organisation. | |||
Notable members included Lord [[Damen Kephry]], Lord [[Drago]], and Lord [[Odysseus Rani]]. The guild fell with the first [[Wars of Succession|War of Succession]], and while it was Damen Kephry's dream to reestablish the guild, he died before the chance arose. | |||
==Hierarchy== | |||
Led by a Knight Arbiter chosen from a council representing each recognised order, the Guild sets the standard of chivalry for all Knights of the realm. Holding order over enmity, each is held | |||
accountable to their oath, governed by the authority of the knighted, under the banner of chivalry. | |||
The council also elects the '''Aster Regent''', an official who oversees the well-being of [[Aster Town]] at large. | |||
