| A knight of the [[atlas:Kingdom of Dakar]] is a non-hereditary military title that does not ennoble the blood. The origins of knighthood can be traced back to various honors and titles used by the [[creatures:dwarf|dwarves]] of [[atlas:Stoneheart Hold]] to honor military prowess. | A knight of the [[atlas:Kingdom of Dakar]] is a non-hereditary military title that does not ennoble the blood.

| - | As the number of knights grew they gathered in Knightly Orders of like-minded individuals. Most of these knightly orders formed around a single purpose or goal. With the growing strength of the [[lore:Temple of Light]] the crown granted the church the right to form its own knightly orders, but could not grant knighthood. Instead the church uses the honorific //Brother-Knight// for a commoner who preforms military service for the gods. | + | As the number of knights grew they gathered in Knightly Orders of like-minded individuals.

| - | The **[[people:knights_arcana]]** were founded by [[people:Hellstrom Darkmaster]] of [[lore:Phoenix Force]] under a decree issued by King [[people:Reiner IV]]. Dedicated to the preservation of magic and those who practice it within the kingdom. Many priests have called them apostates and heretics for practicing magic outside of the bounds of the temple. The decree cannot be revoked unless Hellstrom himself is accused of heresy or he dies. Queen [[people:Aurora I]] has not accused them of any heresy and uses them heavily in the [[lore:War of the Sun]]. | + | The **[[orgs:knights_arcana]]** were founded by [[people:Hellstrom Darkmaster]] of [[orgs:phoenix_force]] under a decree issued by King [[people:Reiner IV]].

| - | The **[[lore:Order of Himmel]]** was started by [[lore:Baron Himmel]] for the sole purpose of fighting [[atlas:Xian]] and freeing the slaves held by the [[atlas:Xianese]]. Baron Himmel is a Knight of the Realm and most of the inner circle of the order are knights; although many past their fighting age. The order is not recognized by either the throne or church, but it does not stand in heresy as they stand against the enemies of both crown and gods. | + | The **[[orgs:order_of_himmel]]** was started by [[lore:Baron Himmel]] for the sole purpose of fighting [[atlas:Xian]] and freeing the slaves held by the [[orgs:xianese]].
