Knights are bound by a strict code of honor, which they strive to uphold:
- Preference of death over dishonour
- Service of their liege as the greatest honour
- Glory in single combat
- Defense to the death of any in the knight's charge
- Honoring superiors
- Respect of equals
- Demanding obedience from inferiors
- Scorning the ignoble
Dishonour: A knight who brings dishonor to themselves or their liege (alignment change included) may have their knighthood revoked. At which point the knight becomes a AGRC Fighter of equivalent level. Returning to a knight and knighthood is possible by a special quest.
Combat
Knights may use any and all melee weapons, but eschew ranged weaponry as they're regarded as being dishonourable. They wear any metal armour, but scorn non-metal armour as only suitable for peasants and villains.
- Prowess of Arms: Knights regard armour as a symbol of prowess and status.
- Single Combat: In battle, a knight must attack the most powerful or worthy foe in single combat.
Horsemanship
