Royal Guardsmen: These knights have achieved the honor and respect of the clan�s knights to be placed in such a high authority. These knights are considered the best of the best. Their job is to prove the knights superiority to all other clans. They are our proudest warriors, and most cunning players. Only a knight who has the approval of the Grand Master, one Vice Master, consent of the Grand Counsel, and the Captain of the Royal Guard may be allowed to enter this elite few. Their numbers shall remain a secret, known only to the Captain and a select other few. (--)

Any knights, who wish to join with these leaders, may do so with the consent of the Grand Admiral. Each squadron will hold weekly tournaments, challenges, quest, and other events, promoting the Dark~Knights Clan and their sub-clan. All squadron leaders are subject to immediate change about clan members, rank and any other related issues, whence upon a direct order from the Grand Counsel and above. (--)

Knights: The knights are the heart and soul of the clan. With out our loyal patrons and members, this clan would be nothing. The knights are an elite group of players who wish to develop their gaming skills, meet people, share info and interests, display artwork, and just simply have fun. Knights are given ranks upon to themselves, for their valor, help, and other instances of proving themselves valuable to the clan. No knight can order another knight around, but the higher-ranking knights do hold more say in suggestions and other such clan related activities. All knights are subject to the benefits of being a member, and as such, receive friendly-ness from all other players. If a knight wishes to make a complaint, order, suggestion, submit something, or simply wish to begin to work towards a promotion, the knight simply needs to email his squadron leader, or the Grand Admiral. (--)

Recruits: The recruits are the soon-to-be knights. These players may have advanced skill in the game they are playing, but must be tried like all other players. If the recruit is new to that particular game, the knights are then to be seen as teachers for the recruits. Only once a knight feels that the recruit is ready to join the knights, the recruit then becomes a knight.
