pictured above: hundreds of knights and dames about to get glazed in this thread

 

tonight, i watched some game of thrones vids on knights while i was eating my dinner. the creator talked about who he thought was the greatest knight ever in westeros, in his opinion. he named knights like arthur dayne, barristan selmy, duncan the tall, and a few others. he also told their stories! like, did you know barristan selmy singlehandedly infiltrated duskendale by climbing the walls, disguised himself as a beggar, and saved king aerys from his imprisonment? how badass is that :O 

 

i found myself wondering, is there an lotc equivalent? like, who would be our ser arthur dayne? our barristan selmy? our dunk the tall, etcetera etcetera...? 

 

there've been hundreds (if not thousands) of knights/dames on lotc, each with incredible stories that make them great in their own right. in light of my evening entertainment, i thought it would be fun to ask the community..

 

who do you consider to be THE greatest knight/dame throughout all of lotc's history? : 3

 

 

obvs there's not a definitive answer to this question, but i thought it'd be fun to make a thread glazing epic knights n dames (mostly i want to hear cool stories abt ur characters ^_^)

 

 

 

my vote is ser walter weiss btw teehee @SethWolf

Everyone is just going to be glazing their own characters. With that being said Sir Edmond de Rouen probably takes the top spot.

depends on your measures of success i think

a lot of knights in older-era human nations were pretty strictly reserved for top pvpers who wanted rp authority to back it up, and while this practice has stayed, its generally become less favoured.

 

Often times too, players on LOTC are all shared equal spotlight - while some knights more than others share achievements, its scarce great glory comes alone. This would make a great knight, if of course that is your measure, but few opportunities to singlehandedly change the course of events in a scenario arise. 

 

You could gauge knights by loyalty, whether to a leader or to "The Right Thing", you could gauge them by the best stories. The answers change a lot.

 

 

The most notable knights that come to mind in my mind were people that I'd interacted with and were influential in their own ways, or had made accomplishments and strides to their own degree.

 

I think two, maybe three come to mind, given this bias comes from only my era on the server and there were people long before me and there'll be more knights long after me.

 

Seth Renault was a knight who pretty admirably rose from nothing and became very close in court, and despite being kept out of a lot of affairs (for being a lowborn/outsider), he continued to earn his stripes despite this and work in every way he could to bring valor and honor to his family name and his people. He eventually got a matrilineal marriage with a Horen and retired. He had three sons (and a daughter, maybe?) who were to carry on his legacy, but mostly failed in that part because they kept fighting over it.

 

Rozmeo Kastrovat was another knight who was similar to above, albeit he wasn't above dealing with the lowest and most outcast of imperials and dabbled in so himself. Despite that he was grand marshal of the legion and lead it fairly successfully, and recognized talent and merit over names and titles. he still played the court, did his duties, did his job, and passed the torch when his time would come. After he died he was mostly forgotten about, although he did have a hidden burial place near Helena that lasted even to transition.

 

I have too little to reasonably say but (prince) Marius and Walter Weiss I heard a lot of acclaim from and that they did a lot of really cool things and told incredible stories with their lives.

Sir John Marsyr is the best knight of the modern era and no one can tell me otherwise. Bro legit is the reason adunians were alive for majority of Almaris while being an absolute beast

[LithiumSedai 5750]

Some of these guys were super cool I guess

List of characters who were the cream of the crop with their respective generations in humanity.

 

1. Sir Martinus Horen (Halt).

 

2. Sir Antonius of Renatus-Marna (DPM).

 

The messy thing is it's unclear which people are knighted/not knighted for a lot of human history. I'd need to drag up some ledgers or membership lists. But these three are the people who come to mind for me when I think of human knights who led major battles, at critical points in history, and characterized different periods of war-time humanity's history. There's plenty more as well to bring up from Orenian history but I'm too lazy.

I believe you're forgetting the two greatest knights, the terrible duo: Ser Milonir, the Biggest Fattest Knight of Whitehall, and Ser Onon - Heroes of the Petra.

 

The Weight Watcher, the Lord of Lard, the Tortilla Tornado, the Gluttonous Gladiator, the breaker of Floors and slayer of All You Can Eat Buffets will always be my #1.

[FlemishSupremacy 6115]

Ser Darius Ault @TrendE's character will always be up there in my mind.
Mega badass, had his hand removed and replaced it by a cleaver. I think he had a big impact on the renatus era roleplay.
