A Knight's Belt
"I bind this belt to you as you are now bound to this Order. You are bound to a duty to serve the Kingdom of Sendilar until death releases you." passage from the Knighting Ceremony of Sendilar
This simple act of donning a belt is unremarkable to most people. For a Knight of Sendilar, strapping on their belt is enfolding themselves within the history and authority of the Knightly Orders. When a Knight straps on their white belt they are making a deceleration of loyalty to the crown and their duty to the Kingdom. You see that belt you know what you are looking at and what Order they belong to. Great pride goes into ensuring the white of their belts is always pristine and the buckles of their order polished till they shine like the sun.
