Special Orders of the Knighthood

The Archknights

There are two Special Orders of the Knighthood given name to in the Vision of Knighthood by Tesalon Gareth. First of these are the Archknights. The Archknights are often ambassadors of Knighthood to other clans and kingdoms, serving there under official order of the Lord of the Knighthood for some special reason, be they militarily or political. They are entitled to enforce the will of the Council and speak for them in all matters pertaining to the Knighthood. These Knights are considered the champions of Knighthood, a glorious hero who walks the lands in a perpetual Quest to serve his Knighthood. The people often will bow at his passage and he was given a golden ring with a diamond embedded in it, engraved with a rose to signify his standing within the keep.

Ordyr uth Paladine

The second of these Special Orders recognized by the Knighthood was the Ordyr uth Paladine. The Order of Paladins. They were often involved in many branches of the Knighthood and to this day the Calling is heard and answered by many good and true Knights. In addition to their normal rank and title, those issued the calling were allowed to be called simply by their god given title of Paladin. That alone conveys a message of honor and trust and the will of the Gods on Algoron. It is a burden and great honor to be called to service, and though not all answer, and to not answer does not mean dishonor, for harsh is the path of the Calling, most will.

The Grand Master of the Holy Order of the Knighthood of Gareth�s Keep

I thought it of particular note to mention here the position of Grand Master of the Knighthood. In the writings of the Vision as I have been able to translate and scribe, the Lord Knight Tesalon Gareth does in fact mention by name three Generals and their division of service. In his writings he specifically mentions the names of Lord High Justice Duncan esth Caela, Lord High Warrior Ariolan ip Baxtrey, and lastly Lord High Clerist Garwen uth Peres. The Lord Knight Tesalon Gareth himself was not referred to as any of these, but rather named as Grand Master of the Knighthood. Though later writings show that Duncan succeeded Lord Gareth as leader of the Knighthood, he never takes upon himself the title of Grand Master.
