Knighthood

In the culture of Brassord and the human nations of Deorra, knighthood is a nobility and semi-military title granted to individuals of both high and low births who proved themselves as warriors.

Brassord
The concept of knighthood has existed in Brassord since the 8000s BW, although its origins are still unclear. Legends say that the kings of Brassord's empire, then known as the Iron Emperors, demanded of their highest ranking Generals - the Silver Swords - to create powerful armies of fighters clouded in armors and skilled with both short and long ranged weapons.

Prior to mankind's occupation of Deorira, Brassord's knights served as the nation's strongest army, being built of approximately 20,000 knights. Brassord used its knights as conquering force over its continent, while knights were given given lands and honorifics for their services, as well as mild political power and command over hired mercenaries and sorcerers.

Brassord's knights were taught to use longswords, daggers, lances and axes, with physically larger members being given hammers and double-edged axes. Selected knights were chosen to practice and master archery, using the then-alien bow and arrow, an object obtained in Deorira from the continent's residents.
