Orders of Chivalry

Many orders of knights exist in Bandagora. The most famous of these is the Pendragon  order belonging to the Pandese Empire . Other known orders are the Knights Templar, the Champions of Light, the Order of the Unicorn in Hardnit, the Kangrisorn Guard, the Salaqi Household Guard and Chinloi Star Order. The Swordsmen of Sif may be termed an order of knights. Most knights are territorial knights, that is dedicated to a local area and/or lord. If a territorial knight is also a member of an order, it is almost certainly the national order of the country in question, as these are to some degree honorary orders. Another kind of order is the votive order, in which a group of knights (and nobles) dedicate themselves to a cause. Once their goal is attained or the preset duration has elapsed, the order is dissolved.
In mockery of the chivalric orders two other orders exist: The Brotherhood of Doom and the Dragonslayers.
