Knights

500

Knights can often commission gear uniquely suited to their fighting style and desire. Most stick to a traditional look, using a sword and shield to fight. Knights of high renown often create a unique style that sets them apart from the rest by using a splash of color or the occasional exotic weapon.
  The traditional colors are grey and red.

Knights fight in formations of at least 20 setting their shields together to create a strong wall. Keeping tight formations is crucial to survival. Apprentice knights, often equipped with more long-range weaponry, fire from behind the formation while fighting. This allows them to be able to defend against enemy attacks and also help protect their assigned Knight.

A Knights day begins with light hand-to-hand combat. The first round of many is held in a circle, and each person can practice basic skills when unarmed. Then a long march takes those in training to the armory, where they grab essential gear consisting of very well-used leather armor, a sword, and a shield. They are then led by a special master who guides them through the complex task of carrying out their squad training. They practice holding formations and how protect their fellow Knights. Once finished, the equipment is returned, and magical training begins here. Their stamina and magical affinity are tested, often casting all the spells they can before collapsing from exhaustion. This repeats until the Knight in training can defeat an actual knight.
