Many forms of battle have played out on these lands. If the forests, meadows, plains and mountains spoke, they would whisper a most ghastly tale, of how the air would have been filled with the screams, cries and groans of multitudes and the wails of mourning as loved ones came to collect their bodies. The creeks would run red with spilt blood. The ground would be cluttered with bones, decay, the dead, and dying. No land is left unhaunted by the ghosts of mankind’s barbarities. Thus is the life of a knight. In their sleep, such memories live on. Reflections of times passed, as life holds its victims tightly, haunting minds with their screams of agony and despair.

The Knights of old were strong men and women who fought valiantly in battle under a code of honor by which they lived. A knight regards war as the "flowering of chivalry" and, therefore, a noble enterprise. For the knight, battle is the test of self, and combat is glorious. A knight's first goal as a warrior, therefore, is the personal achievement of glory in battle. Without glorious deeds in times of war, a knight is considered nothing more than a fancy mercenary, having wasted years of his life training for ultimate failure. A knight must show respect for all peers and equals honor all those above his station. A knight does not aid the ill mannered, the coarse, and the crude. This applies to goods and services as well. Time shall prove worthiness and strength through determination and knowledge of skill. A knight knows no bias; he or she makes no judgments, knowing that the coin is always two sided. A knight thinks swiftly on their feet, knowing there is a time to speak, a time to fight and a time to die, for the heart will not fail in its courage, though the blade may falter in battle. Titles, honors, past glories and medals don't make the knight. Humility, wisdom, and a heart that beats true speak of far greater things in actions and deeds. A true knight will grant mercy to even the most despised enemy. Not because the knight is weak, but because the knight is stronger than the enemy he could slay. Wisdom and patience takes the place of the barbaric mentality and brutality. For the days enemy may prove to be a worthy ally in the future. Good and evil are but the definitions of those who seek control. As do the knights who follow on such bloody crusades and become the unwitting tool, the weapon of those who seek domination.

Any knight, who follows a code so rigid as to be unyielding to change, damns not only them self, but all those who serve beside them. In one hand a knight carries humility and honor, in the other courage. Both hands together wield the blade, the weapon being the knight. This is used to promote freedom to choose to exist, no matter what choice is made, the right to be free of tyranny and repression. The difference between a Knight and Warrior is that the knight can make decisions based upon the education of his mind, not only his body. A knight shall try to mediate a situation and resolve the problem, to stop any possibility of wars, injury or loss of life. Mediation is a learned skill, the same as wielding a weapon. A knight is to become well vice in all forms of weaponry, not just the sword. Situations don't always allow a sword in hand and other forms of defense should be learned. At times distance would depict a sword to be useless and weapons that span a field of battle could be most valuable.
