Knights of the Spherical Table

*"Knights" redirects here. For the character, see Knight.*

The **Knights of the Spherical Table**, or the **Knights** for short, is an organization in *Magical Girl Policy*. It is a guild in the *Aspect Realms* video game and was formed so SFEERS members could join. Several characters join this guild.

## Description

The Knights of the Spherical Table is an *Aspect Realms* guild, an Accord group on the Stoneraven server. The group exclusively consists of current and past members of SFEERS, Schuyler Adamson University's nerd club, and is the club's most active division. Knights primarily communicate via a GuildTalk voice chat channel.

The guild's membership has a general preference for PvE content such as raids, and also has roleplay sessions. NightKnight spearheads an effort to give a larger PvP focus in the group, but his tactical ineptitude causes this to stall until his makeshift position is taken by Waveform.

## History

### Background

Two years prior to the start of the series, SAU sophomore SFEERS member SaltStorm forms and heads the Knights of the Spherical Table so fellow club members could play *Aspect Realms* together, though he is not particularly fond of the name he came up with. He created the guild very early in his sophomore year, as in the "Round Object Enthusiasts" vignette, which is set during Club Week, OmniDrive has heard he is starting it up. One notable person who joins the Knights is BlackNovember, SFEERS's video gaming officer at the time who is broadly considered troublesome for provoking arguments.

As the next year arrives, BlackNovember graduates from SAU and his officer position is succeeded by SaltStorm. November retains his Knights membership and continues to play *Aspect Realms* with the others, and he frequently incites the anger of the short-tempered freshman NightKnight. Six months before MGP in "Call It A Knight", SaltStorm gets a text from Knights officer GalleyGirl that yet another shouting match between the two is happening. After hearing about what led up to this from the others, SaltStorm has the pair leave the game for the night. Not long after, however, he gets another text that November has rejoined and is up to more troublemaking. SaltStorm decides it's time to stop being lenient with November and exercise his administrative authority, which is implied to be banning November or threatening to do so. He texts SFEERS president Fretribution to expect drama in the club soon, but to leave things to him.

### Weeks 2-4

While checking out the SFEERS booth during Club Week, Eli finds out from ergoAwesome that the club has an *Aspect Realms* group, as Robynne is looking to play with people that won't associate her character with Robert. Awesome is excited at the prospect of another girl joining the mostly-male group.

The next day, Robynne visits the SFEERS booth at her friends' recommendation and signs up for the club under her new handle of Waveform, letting GalleyGirl know about her intent to join the guild, though she'll need to transfer her character to the Stoneraven server and alter it into an Accord race in order to do so. Galley is excited to have Waveform join, who is skilled enough at PvP to have earned the Bloodhawk title.

The following night, Robynne alters her Bluster avatar into Waveform, then has GalleyGirl let her on to the Knights. The group plays late into the night, with Waveform finding herself a popular addition to the guild and de facto PvP leader in place of NightKnight, who is jealous of his usual position getting taken from him.

Several Knights of the Spherical Table meet in person at the SFEERS opening social. ergoAwesome excitedly tells SaltStorm and NightKnight about a PvP game she had with Waveform and TurtleSmuggler.

After the SFEERS opening social, Robynne convinces Angela to borrow her old computer to play *Aspect Realms* with the Knights so she can make friends away from Cammy's watch. Angela receives the computer the next day, and finds herself enthralled with the game. She soon joins SFEERS and the Knights as Conviction. Her newness to gaming is refreshing to her guildmates, who take to showing her the ropes.

As Waveform continues to be active in the guild over the following weeks, NightKnight begins making excuses to skip PvP sessions, as his pride has been shot at the more skilled Waveform taking his typical spot of PvP head.

## Trivia

* The name of the guild appears to stem from the Knights of the Round Table of British legend, replacing "Round" with "Spherical" as a play on SFEERS, which is pronounced identically to "spheres".
