Knights of the Dove
We are the Knights of the Dove. Our code is of Valor. Our shields defend the helpless. Our weapons defeat the villainous. Our mouths speak only truth. We are the Knights of the Dove, Sworn to protect the weak. Sworn to uphold virtue. Sworn to obey and serve with honor. Sworn to uphold the code for all time. WE ARE THE KNIGHTS OF THE DOVE!It is said that the first Knights of the Dove were personally trained by Anton Degenheart himself. It was Anton that developed and implemented the Knights of the Dove Code. Upon the construction of Castle Friendenstaube it was brought to Anton’s attention by Groaner and Nathaniel that this new Castle would require soldiers to help keep order and peace. Anton, along with the help from Tess spent many long nights coming up with the best resolution. So both the code and order of knights were established. The few Knights that wish to serve Castle Friendenstaube and the Dove must first pass the tests given to them by the academy. (This will be expanded) Once these tests are passed then the knights are accepted into the school where they will train. All outsider contact will be forbidden during their training. Training will consist of; training with weapons appropriate to classes and kits, study with priests, and study of the law. During the course of training (again will be broken out further) the characters will be placed in their appropriate place DEFENSE/OFFENSE/LAWMAKER or they will be removed from the school. All students are sworn to secrecy of the “training” process, any student or ex-student that speaks of this will be dealt with as a traitor of the Kingdom.
