The Knights of Yolda

Dedicated to following in the footsteps of their eponymous king, the Knights of Yolda are dedicated to being paragons of virtue and strength. They will not suffer evil to take root in lands under their protection, and will make every effort to excise it. They are fanatically devoted to the bloodline of First King, and to upholding the legacy (and government) that descends from the kingdom Yolda founded.

Oath
“Conduct yourself as a warrior of virtue, bringing no dishonor upon yourself, your order, or your brothers and sister. Speak no word of a lie though you may be tempted by bribe or convenience. Defend the helpless and render aid to the just. Above all preserve the line of Kings. And speak no word that belongs to the higher circles to anyone not of them, even to a brother or sister.”

Organization
The Knights of Yolda are divided into several Circles that serve as their internal hierarchy.

The Perimeter
Knights of the Perimeter are the lowest of the order. New recruits start here as squires for more senior knights. Those of the Perimeter are charged with some of the more unpleasant tasks of the order, as a means of identifying those truly committed to the order. At this level, members are privy to few, if any, secrets.

The Third Circle
Those on the Perimeter who show great promise are promoted to the Third Circle, where they are treated as equals of the fellowship, entrusted with more important tasks, and permitted to hear some of the secrets of the order, including some of their sacred rituals.

The Second Circle
Those of the Second Circle have proved themselves by deed to be truly dedicated to the order. Knights of the Second Circle are instructed in some of the mystic arts that the order has kept alive since it's early days to combat the foul monsters of the Dead World. At this level, members are often entrusted with sacred relics of the order.

The First Circle
Reserved for Elders of the Order, those who have dedicated a lifetime of service in the name of Yolda. At this level of the order, members are privy to the greatest mystic powers of the order, and to it's greatest relics.
