Knight

The title of Knight has been overused and expanded by modern times to mean everything from armored, mounted warriors to any men-at-arms who fight. Historically, however, a Knight is a disciplined fighter who has sworn an Oath before the Church. Knights are, ideally, holy warriors who combine powers of Faith with skill at arms.

== Facts: ==
-The concept of the Knight is derived from two sources historically: the Roman horse soldiers (often landed and wealthy men of the republic who fought with the best equipment), and the Church's belief that some could aspire to be holy warriors. The birth of the Knight is traced back to ancient rites were trained fighters would swear before God and the relics of saints to follow the Codes of Chivalry. 
-Knights are the official military-wing to the Church. They can operate on their own but Knights are expected to answer the call of Church leaders 
-A True Knight fights for God and so they are expected to maintain an active religious life and vibrant spirituality. A Knight who is ignorant of the holy text of his own Tribe is looked upon disdainfully. 
-The exact Codes of Chivalry often changed or morphed according to the time period, but most of them centered around the basic values commonly associated with Knights. Loyalty, honesty, courage and holiness.. 
-Knights are expected to participate in regular training regimes designed to hone them into equally skilled and educated warriors. In this, Knights greatly resemble the Brotherhood of Adonai in their thinking and lifestyle.
