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. | '''Knights''' are a type of highly-trained soldier who may either serve a higher ranking person or an entire organisation.

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. It is bone of contention which survives in [[Achaea]], even into the present day. | 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.
