Uphitte (U-phi-the)

Knowledge is the true organ of sight, for an Uphitte needs no eyes, only a sharp mind and sword.

Wanderers and loners by nature, the Uphitte are one of the knightly ranks inside The Order and widely renowned across the kingdoms. Their mission, unlike most organizations, lies not within the borders of Thortyr, but out in the world as they roam Manniskar, seeking out evil and culling the creatures that inhabit the wilds. Although sometimes unexperienced knights are sent out, most are veteran, professional warriors that fight with unparalleled skill, matching the ability of the best fighters in the continent, all while also being equipped with the best the kingdom has - Frystine. The biggest distinguishing feature of the Uphitte is that their training, although strict and severe, isn't focused solely on combat prowess, but also on learning and understanding, given they work more as investigators and hunters rather than soldiers or brutes. They are knowledgeable about most creatures and understand the basic workings of magic and how spellcasting works (despite very rarely being one of their targets). And so, as these knights roam the world, they gather knowledge and keep The Order aware of what goes on in the continent, while also hunting fearsome monsters and threats to the stability of the realm.
