Ever since the end of the [[Guilds]] era, there has been a social disconnect between those who could be termed ''True Knights,'' who live and die by the code and ideology 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, focusing only on its applied methodology and skill.
