The White Bastion

A large building, sitting against the backdrop of a great city, the White Bastion serves as the headquarters for the Requiem Knights. A towering structure, with glittering white stone walls and an intricate gate. The fortress sits apart from the rest of the city, surrounded by fields of low grass. Only members of the knightly order may enter the white walled structure, leaving the uninitiated to stare and dream - praying for their chance to join the ranks of the great order. Great white and gold banners sit upon the walls of the great structure, proudly displaying the crest of the order for all to see.
Most citizens of the city spend their youth dreaming of becoming a Requiem Knight, willingly partaking in chores that might bolster their chances of earning the privilege of becoming a squire for the order. The knights themselves seldom interact with the commonfolk of the city, creating a social gap that exaggerates their role in the community.
The White Bastion itself contains everything the order needs to be self-sufficient; with a livery, training grounds, surrounding farmlands, barracks etc. All the members of the order live and work within the fortress, not all becoming military-knights. Many roles are fulfilled within the White Bastion, with a rotating roster allowing most of the initiated to go on quests without upsetting the balance of order within the white walls. All within the white walls are trained as knights, but they are also taught the necessary skills to contribute to the basic function of the micro-society with the Bastion. Once initiated, the members of the order are bound to it for life, living and dying by the crest.
