Knight (Warrior)

In the world of Vechaunus, an armored and mounted knight is one of the greatest forces on the battlefield, and the goal many hope to attain through years of rigorous training as squires. Knighthood is generally seen as an honorable vocation, even if not all knights manage to live up to that ideal. Knights are most often sworn to a feudal liege-lord who commands them, but might also be devoted to a particular cause, faith, or community, while the rare, romantic knight-errant wanders the land, righting wrongs and giving aid to those in need.
The kind of knight you play will depend greatly on where you are from. Gnomandy’s Clockwork Knights, for instance, are highly regarded in Qutis as both cunning and honorable soldiers. The Round Table knights of Cronia, on the other hand, are a more secretive order with loyalties only to the crown.
Classes: Warrior

Novice: You learn the Lances Weapon Group if you don’t already know it. You also learn to unnerve your enemies and goad them into battle by challenging them.

This represents an honorable challenge to a worthy opponent.
