Message: <blockquote data-quote="crazy_monkey1956" data-source="post: 3516498" data-attributes="member: 49514">There is currently only one recognized Knighthood in the world, the Eldritch Knights.  Originating in the Wizard ruled nation to the south, the majority of the Knights chose to support a slave uprising in that nation seven years before the start of the Shadow War instead of continuing their allegiance to the Wizard Circles.  As a result, when the uprising was put down, the Eldritch Knights tactically retreated across the sea to establish themselves in the northern nation of Turen.  To be recognized as a full knight, one must prove oneself in arms as well as magic, though the knights have a multitude of rank and file warriors who aspire to the ideals espoused by the knighthood.  The Knighthood was instrumental in leading the human and elven armies to victory during the Shadow War and are seen as heroes among the commonfolk.The ideals of chivalry, valor, and upholding the good of the common folk are also widely held ideals in Azgund, though the preferred fighting style there leans more toward dueling and finesse.</blockquote>
