Alliance Knighthood

It is the duty of all knights to conduct themselves in a manner that will honor the Queen and the Alliance, to be loyal to their guild, and to help strangers and guild members alike to promote joy. Ranks and titles are selected according to each individual member's desires, goals, and achievements.

Knights Council: A council of at least three members, which shall include the Knight Lord/Lady, shall be appointed by the Queen to represent QSA Knights. Under the direction of the Knight Lord/Lady, this council will be responsible for the morale and well being of the entire Knighthood by promoting events to encourage frolic and acknowledge loyalty. The council will give due recognition to Knights, regardless of time served, for outstanding service. The Council will make recommendations for promotions, awards and or public recognition on behalf of all Alliance Knighthood members.

The Knight Lord/Lady will act as spokesperson for this council and will conduct regular discussions to keep abreast of Knighthood activity in order to make recommendations to the Royal High Council of Advisors for any changes in the Knighthood ranking system and any amendments deemed necessary to Knighthood Alliance Policy.

Be it known as well, that Her Majesty, Queen Shieba, promotes individuality and freedom of choice, thus specific uniforms will not be mandatory. The Queen's colors of royal purple, scarlet red, black and gold can be worn at any time in honor of the Queen but will not be required.

Knight Initiate: This title is given to any potential new member of the Knighthood that has not yet met the minimum requirements of having three sponsors, a character profile submitted to the Queen, and all members of the Knight Council informed of the potential members desire to join.

Knight: The first rank within our structure. This rank is bestowed upon one who has been newly accepted into Queen Shieba's Alliance and appointed to Knighthood. This rank is a probationary period to determine whether a knight is suitable to remain and advance in the Alliance.

Knight of the Crown: This rank follows that of Knight, when the Knight has shown that he, or she, upholds the standards of the Knighthood and of the Crown. This rank shall be bestowed by the Knight's Council, with the permission of Her Majesty and her advisors, providing said Knight has passed a probationary period and it is agreed upon by the Queen, her Court, and the Knight Council that the Knight is well suited to the Alliance.

Honored Knight: Once achieving this rank, the Knight in question is bestowed with the honor of displaying an ideal or object in his, or her, title, which he, or she, defends or upholds and wishes to represent. The attainment of this rank is subject to observations made by Her Majesty, the Royal Court, and the Knight's Council.

Knight of the Rose: The Knight of the Rose is a title bestowed upon female Lieutenants of the Knight's Lord.

Knight of the Thorn: The Knight of the Thorn is a title bestowed upon male Lieutenants of the Knight's Lord.

Knight Lord/Lady: This highest position in the Knighthood is entrusted to the Knight whom the Queen has selected as head of the Knight's Council.
