It is necessary for the Knights of Idunia to congregate and make decisions on the tenets of their many and varied orders. This conference is led by the Sword of Owyn alongside the High Justiciar and the Knight Commander. In seeking to maintain record of these discussions, this document shall detail the first two meetings of The Roundtable and the decisions made therein.

🟆 | Knight Captains, as well as the Knight Commander, have been granted the privilege and responsibility of taking two squires if they wish, rather than one. The rationale of this decision was to allow the Knight Captains the ability to bolster their orders more readily.

 

🟆 | Newly sworn Knights must not take squires for three years after their Knighting Ceremony. The rationale of this decision is to force them to be independent for a time without having to take the care of another immediately.

 

🟆 | The Lordship of Angrenost has been granted permission to establish their own Knightly Order, becoming the fourth vassal of the High Kingdom to have done so. Ser Boromir Orodrion, who shall be this Order’s Knight Captain, has declared that this shall be the Order of the Silver Stag.

 

🟆 | The High Table is to be established to confer upon the matters of Knighthood that require only their superior authority. It is to be made up of the Knight Captains of the Knightly Orders within the High Kingdom, the Knight Commander, the High Justiciar, the Sword of Owyn, and two electorate seats chosen from the collective of The Roundtable. Within the first Roundtable, it were Dame Saelind Vourkehardt and Ser Heledd Glennmaer elected to The High Table.

 

🟆 | The Knight Commander, Ser Caspian Beowulf Colborn III, has formalized the creation of three Titles of Knightly Prestige. These are to be granted unto the Knights of Idunia to commend their deeds, but also to impart the responsibility of raising the status of these titles hereon. Each recipient of these titles shall decide the next who will take it after them, though the first are chosen by either the Sword of Owyn, the Knight Commander, or The High Table of Knights.

🟆 | The Sword of Owyn, Ser Valanór Vourkehardt, has chosen the High Justiciar, Ser Viago Vourkehardt, to be the recipient of the title of Knight of the Searing Flame.
🟆 | The Knight Commander, Ser Caspian Beowulf Colborn III, has chosen the Turtle-Knight Captain of the Ivory Tower, Sir Frederick Euler, to be the recipient of the title of Knight of the Silver Shield.
🟆 | The High Table has chosen the Knight Captain of the Green Haven, Ser Arthur Marsyr, to be the recipient of the title of Knight of the Radiant Heart.

 

🟆 | Knight Captains of the High Kingdom are to ensure that the Knight Commander and Sword of Owyn are informed of all current squires and their progress in periodical update, as well as to ensure that their stated roster of Knights is current.

 

🟆 | The matter of Ser Griffith Glennmaer and Ser Mauricio Salazar as Knights of the Realm has been clarified. Both have been given exemption from their uncertain status and granted quest to fulfill.

 

🟆 | As proposed by Dame Saelind Vourkehardt, female Knights have been permitted to use the term Dame rather than Ser or Sir if it is in their preference. This is entirely optional.

 

🟆 | As proposed by Ser Arthur Marsyr, Knights may request permission from the ruler of their vassal or the High King himself to be granted permission to impart the Knighting Ceremony to their own squire. Permission from the ruler of a vassal is only applicable if both the Knight and squire are within, or are to join, the Knightly Order attached to the vassal.

 

🟆 | Ser Valanór Vourkehardt shall retire as the Sword of Owyn in fulfilling his penance during his Path of Owyn. Both blade and title shall be imparted unto Sir Frederick Euler.

🟆 | It shall be enforced that all Knights not of true royal birth be given two years to meet with the Sword of Owyn and Knight Commander, especially if recently absent. In ensuring this meeting is had, their Knightly status shall be retained. Knights who do not make themselves present to either shall have their Knighthood stripped until they return. A quest shall be  imparted to be granted the title once more if they return. Certain exceptions to Knights of venerated legacy are to be made.
