    The Knightly Lore on the server has had a significant place, both in terms of lore content, and their overall history in Regalian Politics. The last significant update was a year and a half ago, which saw the creation of several new thematic orders to appeal to a wider audience, who may not have favored the Viridian Order's lore over it's many years of solo running.

    However, as proficiency systems came and went, the Knight Lore faced "update depreciation" where the content of the page reflected outdated lore systems, and started to feel more of a hodgepodge then fleshed out lore. As such, the School of Knights page was carefully looked at, and Knight Lore as a result received a heavy quality of life update.

    Here is a quick list of the more significant changes:
    • Viridian Order
      • re-implemented Code of Ehrenhof
      • re-added Shieldmaidens (female knights who train outside the main order)
      • returned to older Viridian Lore from its earlier days
      • rankings redone to reflect Paladin Special Permission
    • Villiers-Eclaire Order
      • Lore expanded
      • Matrais Dames added to highlight de Gosselin Hilfrontist gender equality (female kngihts)
    • d'Homme Order
      • Removed from lore as a knightly order. The Espirit d'Homme can apply to any combat school, as it solely revolves around a facet Ithanian Culture
    • Thousand Blades Order
      • Removed from Lore entirely.
    • Great Oak Order
      • Lore expanded
      • Now exist as great hunters that go around hunting giant beasts for honor and prestige.
    • Lion Pelt Order
      • Lore expanded.
      • Serve the same purpose as before, being extremely good bodyguards for wealthy clientele
    • Darkwald Order
      • New Code of the Black Raven reflecting their aberrant-hunting ideology
      • Created an outlet for Sihndar to become members, allowing for greater cooperation between groups that fight aberrant.
      • Removed the lone wolf aspects of membership.
    • Pavisa Order
      • Declassified into a regular Combat School, though maintaining the key cultural symbol of the Dressolini Culture to exist as a pseudo knight order.
    • Bloodcast Order
      • Lore expansion
      • Removed bars on tournament participation and fraternizing with other knights.
    • Matrais Order
      • Removed from Lore, though female knights were added to Viridian and Villiers to provide an outlet for this kind of rp.
    • Ranger Order
      • Removed as a Kngihtly Order, but may return at a later date.
    Additionally, the School of Knights page was changed to mention the profs of each Order, while redirecting to the Order pages.

    General Summary:
    • Some Orders were expanded on
    • Some were removed
    • Paladin Special Perm to be released soon
    Finally, all players with knightly characters will need to redo their apps to reflect the changes on their specific order. Some entry ages were raised, others were lowered. Overall, all rp should still remain valid, with only the details of certain groups changing.

    Even if you are not a knight rp player, I high encourage reading these pages, as the knights have had a hand in Regalian politics ever since the Empire was formed.
