'''Knights''' are a type of soldier who may either serve a higher ranking person or an entire organisation. From the [[War of Humanity]] to the [[Wars of Succession]] to present day, they are traditionally of noble birth and held to chivalrous conduct.
'''Knights''' are a type of soldier who may either serve a higher ranking person or an entire organisation. From the [[War of Humanity]] to the [[Wars of Succession]] to present day, they are held to be chivalrous and honourable in conduct and proficient and able in arms.
 
Ever since the end of the [[Guilds]] era, there has been a disconnect between those who could be termed '''True Knights''' who live and die by the code of Chivalry, having undergone many trials to demonstrate their prowess and valour, and the more self-serving swordsmen and swordswomen who adopt one of the Knight classes while being wholly unconcerned with the pursual of honour.
 
The three types of Knight classes one can find throughout the land, then, are these:
The [[Paladin]], sworn to the service of the [[Bloodsworn]] Gods, [[Light]], and [[Good]].
The [[Infernal]], sworn to [[Evil]]  and its Master, Lord [[Sartan]],
and the [[Runewarden]], wholly free of such binding restrictions,
and thus able to serve  whoever and whenever he or she may well please.


[[Achaea]] is home to the gentlemanly [[Paladin]] class members who fight for what is [[good]], the [[Infernal]] knights who serve [[evil]] before all else, and the honourable [[Runewarden|Runewardens]] whose status falls somewhere in between.
