The Knights of Horen

Knight Commander - The Current Rank, the one in charge of the Knights of Horen. He may take two squires only.

Ser Gideon Silverblade.

Knight Sergeant - Four Knights, they are the senior Knights who must have been Knight's first. They will lead a particular Path of the Order. They may take Two Squires although they can take a Third IF the Knight commander feels they are ready and they have proven for it. The "Highest" Knight Sergeant acts as Second in command to the Knight Commander and is often called the Knight Lieutenant.

Knight Errant - A Knight who is still proving himself to the Order. He will be tutored by a Knight until he has shown courage in the face of fear and has completed tasks. He and his squire will take the coat of arms of the Knight. Several Knights Errant may serve under a Knight. He is more independent and needs to show is strengths and how he improves the order. The men at this rank are approved by the king as they have power un like a squire.:

Squires - A Squire to a Knight, must prove himself ready to be a Knight, through tests of Nobility that are chosen by the Knight Commander. He/she will take these Tests when the Knight they serve under feels they are ready, and have served enough. They may only take the tests twice, before being cast out of the order. This rank has NO power unless they are under orders of there knight or knight commander.:

Squire Lyweneth (Gideon), Squire Roger (GIdeon)

Pages/ Knight Militia - Known to most as the Knight Militia, Pages are beneath squires and train under the Knights in the path of teaching, some may be picked out as Squires and given an "easier" option, but the rest will go through a lot of training sessions and eventually have to go through the final tests, which will be hard but will still allow them to become a Knight if they pass. They serve under all Knights, and may be called on a quest or to war.

Injured Knights - Knights who have been injured in battle or other means, and cannot serve in the fighting way for some time.

Paths - Known as Arms, Sects or Disciplines, these are the Path the Knight takes into bringing greater glory to Oren. The Four Paths are.

The Path of War - Led by Ser Gideon Silverblade- This Path is commonly considered the most "Knightly" path, Knights in this path train for battle constantly, and are known as Great Warriors. It is their duty to protect the order and fight off the enemies.

The Path of the Anvil - Led by ()- This Path is for the Knights talented in making arms and armour, for themselves and their Brothers. They will still fight, but their main duties will be creating Weapons and armour, for use in the Order.

The Path of Mercantile - Led by Ser Treaty - This path is for the Knights especially good at getting a good deal and also at Farming. They will supply the Order with the goods they need, and take farmland and shops over from enemies, with or without force. They will still fight in battles, like all Knights.

The Path of Teaching - Led by Ser Robert (Until a replacement is found) - This Path is for the Knights who are especially good at giving on their skills to others. They will teach the Militia and the Squires when the Knight is away on a quest (offline or busy)) and teach them how to fight and how to act. They will also be responsible for keeping the Orders Libraries up to date, and the battle yards ready.

Knight: Sir {Name}

Knight Errant: Sir {Name}

To become part of the Knights of Horen, you must find a Knight Errant - Knight Commander and try and see if you are worthy enough to become their squire, from there you shall slowly rise up, through tests and learning or join the order as a Page, and work your way up slower, through more training, and tests.

Coat of Arms

As a Squire, it is your duty to gain the coat of arms that your Knight wears, if your Knight is a Knight Errant and has the coat of arms of another Knight, then you must take that Knights coat of arms until your Knight is promoted to Knight

As a Knight Errant, you must take the Coat of arms of the Knight who leads the path you are in. Your Squire must take the same coat of arms

As a Knight, you can choose your own Coat of arms and your Squire will take that

As a Knight Sergeant, you will be expected to start a noble family, and have a coat of arms for that family. You do not have to start a noble family, but it does help.

The Knight Commander can wear his coat of arms, or anything he wishes as long as it is appropriate to his job.

Rules and Honor code

- Your Knights are your Brothers, you shall fight together, work together and die together.

- Betrayal means automatic exclusion from the order, a sentence for execution and removal of your Knighthood

- Leaving the Order means you are no longer a Knight of Oren, and may no longer give yourself the title of one

- You must never harm your Knight Brothers.

- You must never disobey the Knight Commander except under Emergency Act 2

- You must never retreat, always to the Death

- You must always try to charge in First into battle

- You must protect the innocent, and purge the heretic

This is for all knights, squires, and pages to uphold verbatum. These are the laws of the knights and are to be treated as such.

The code of Honor.

1. To defend the innocent.

This is to include all races, we are defenders of Galahar. It is our duty to protect the citizens of our domain. If need be we will attack but only if we are attacked first or threatened to an astronomical degree.

2. To be respectful in all walks of life.

Whether you are at war or walking about the town. You will be respectful. Petty arguments and insults are above this order. You should not lower yourself to the degree of the common rabble. We are meant to be an example for the people to rise to. We must not degrade ourselves. If an enemy yields, then spare him, unless he or she has committed unforgivable crimes. Be on your guard as some enemies will not uphold their honor code.

3. Serve the crown, serve the country.

The king's word is law, unless made otherwise by some god-forsaken conflict. In which case we will do what the commander deems best for the country itself.

Code for the knights.

The knights will follow the three laws above. However as the higher tier of the order, you have more responsibilities.

1. The squires are to be confirmed by the commander.

This is made simply because I see many squires are undisciplined and not at the level of which a squire should be. I as the knight commander and all future commanders will confirm a knight's squire before naming him one. As of now all squires are dissolved of their title until they pass the tests I will set forth.

I would not do this unless absolutely needed. This is only because many knights seem to simply choose squires so they have squires. This will no longer be tolerated, I am monitoring every corner of this order to ensure we regain our former glory.

2. You are neutral to all heard cases.

If you stumble upon an argument, you will instantly establish order, then you will hear cases from both parties. As a knight of Galahar you are deemed the judges of the city. In order to make a fair judgement however you must provide neutrality. Hear each case and cast judgement as you see fit.

The Royal Knights of Oren

The Royal Guardians of the Royal Family, the Royal Knights are seasoned veterans who have chosen to take up a most righteous cause, the protecting of our fair, and noble rulers. The Knight Commander leads them personally as the Royal Knight Captain.

Royal Knight Captain – Sir Silverblade

Royal Knights - Four Royal Knights are needed, you must be a Knight-Errant to be considered for joining, UNLESS the King asks for you to be placed here specifically. -

Your duties include - Protecting the Keep from enemies, Protecting the Royal Family, Protecting High Lords and Councillors, Representing the King or Prince in a war, Serving the Order of the Oren Knights, Serving Oren.

Remember, being a Royal Knight does not mean you are no longer in the Order of the Oren Knights, you just have extra duties, but much more respect is given, and any scenario involving the Royals means you take charge over Knight Sergeants and vice-versa.
