Knight Mariner in Faelon | World Anvil

Knight Mariner

Falkaaran knights are unique in Faelon. In the Kingdom of Haradel, knights often possess strong ties to one of the Varanic gods. Falkaaran knights are organized and trained in a manner tied to the elements. This also defines their role in the Falkaaran military.   Knights Defender (Faelakir) represent earth and serve as guards to the nobility, especially the royal family in their mountain stronghold city of Baramar.   Knights Arrestor (Shasakir) represent ice and serve as enforcers of the Queen’s Justice. In battle, they contain enemy maneuvers and restrict their options.   The Knights Provoker (Thrakakir) represent fire and act as the swift vanguard of the army when it sallies for war. They are the hammer to the anvil of the Defenders and Arrestors.   Knights Ascender (Perakkir), representing air, ride the Peraks (in Chalish, Daklos) descended from those captured from the Traazorites. They serve as scouts, dominating the skies above the battlefield and preventing surprise.   Knights Mariner (Chalakir) represent the sea, and when the Falkaaran Navy chases down a pirate, these knights do the enforcing. Knight Mariners are less heavily armored than other knights but make up for it with their defensive skills, choosing between dodging and parrying attacks. They are also crafty attackers, feinting their opponents into committing defensively and then striking them when their guard is down.   They are trained to lead sailors and marines in boarding actions. They are feared warriors up and down the coast of Falkaar and among its neighboring islands. Falkaaran naval vessels of any size will possess a Knight Mariner lieutenant, several Knights Mariner, as well as a contingent of marines.
