Description

Knights are warriors who pledge service to rulers, religious orders, and noble causes. A knight's alignment determines the extent to which a pledge is honored. Whether undertaking a quest or patrolling a realm, a knights often travels with an entourage that includes a squires and hirelings who are commoners. Men-at-arms serve minor lords and tend to be less well equipped (and less well regarded) than their chevalier brethren.
