Everyone that knows your insignia knows what it took to receive it. When you present your insignia you may use your status as a Postknight to avoid penalties for minor crimes, and you may not be attacked by soldiers or guards. You may also be able to easily secure audiences with both the aristocracy as well as the common folk while presenting your insignia when you have mail for them.
Suggested Characteristics
