Knight

Knight is one of the professions available when building a character.

Description
Knights enjoy great respect in many provinces of the Middenrealm as well as in Bornland and the warring kingdoms of Nostria and Andergast. Some people view the knightly ways of combat as antiquated; nevertheless, they are formidable opponents. Knights learn the art of fighting as squires in service to older knights. Even though there is no clear distinction in noble circles, knights are divided into knights of the old way and courtly knights.

Knights of the old way see themselves as elite fighters tied to Crown and Land. Most use antiquated weaponry like morning-stars, maces, and two-handed swords.

Courtly knights serve mainly in the Middenrealm and the Horasian Empire, where they participate in tournaments and act as courtiers for barons, counts, and dukes.
