Order Rules
We fight with honour and respect according to our Chivalric code. However if our foes choose to fight unfairly we will not put ourselves at a disadvantage. Your honour remains intact for fighting unfairly if they break our code first.

1. Bow at the start of the fight
2. No BSing unless they do
3. Protect the host. Always try to fight an invader 1 vs 1 so the host stays safe
4. No healing unless they do.
5. No hatemail.

In the case where you are outnumbered and forced to fight multiple rules at once you may break these rules to even the playing field.

Allies and Enemies
In this new world we are not without allies who will help us. We are not without enemies either.
Enemies - Lifehunters, Sentinels of the east, Protectors of Gwyn, Gravesworn, Seath's Sorcerors, Protectors of Izalith
Allies - Forest Hunters, Sunlight Warriors, Men in Tights, Sunlight Souls, The Organisation
We have a trade agreement with the Zena Prince Peddlers. Do not hesitate to ask them for equipment. If you cannot afford the trade the order will cover it.

To get the most out of this covenant it a SL 60-80 Sunlight Warrior Knight build will give you the most opportunities.

The Armoury

Our order is made up of Knights from lots of different countries and different specialisations. However all Knights conform to a central uniform that makes us easier to identify. The order also provides a list of suggested weaponry for use that matches the knight’s homeland. If you are finding it hard to acquire the set you want contact the Zena Prince Peddlers. We have a trade agreement with them. They will give you what you need and I will pay the cost. Remember you dont have to wear the armour constantly, only while you are co-oping as a Knight.

If a shield or weapon says preferred before it, then it is not required to be used. It is simply an indicator of the type of weapon generally used but knights of that country, and to give players an idea of a weapon if they don't know what to use.

Events

We are at the forefront of the covenant wars. All of our war will have goals that, when completed, will earn prestige. We will also in future have small tourneys among ourselves involving duelling and jousting (yes jousting) to practice our pvp skills.

Congratulations to my knights! In an extremely close battle we triumphed 26-25 over the gravesworn!
In a hard fought battle we valiantly lost to the lifehunters 1246 - 980. You did well my knights, we'll get them next time.

Prestige and Honorary Members.

Honorary member are those who will fight for us occasionally, but have too much work in other covenants to participate fully in our Order.

Prestige
Prestige is earnt by performing extraordinary tasks within the order. Prestige shows your abilities to the rest of the order. To acquire elite ranks within the order you require certain amounts of prestige. The following are ways to gain prestige.

- Obtain the Moonlight Greatsword
- Obtain the Sunlight Maggot
- Forge a +10 divine weapon with a slab stolen from nito's tomb.
- Obtain the Demon Catalyst
- Obtain the most points in an event

- Kill Seath as a dragonslayer (dragonslayers on NG+ only)

- Kill Nito as a Knight of Havel (Knight of Havels on NG+ only)

- Kill every Bounding Demon of Izalith as a Sunlit Knight (Sunlit Knights on NG+ only)

Kill the Firesage Demon as a Crystal Seeker (Crystal Seeker on NG+ only)

To become a Division Sergeant you must have 3 prestige points.
To become a Regimental Commander you must have 4 prestige and be specialized.

Specializations
Within our order we have 3 specializations. Knights may join any specialization they wish however joining one prevents you from joining the other 2.

DragonSlayer
DragonSlayers follow Ornstein. They use Ornstein's set and 2 hand wield the dragonslayer spear or draginslayer bow. These knights focus primarily on co-op in the painted world and Seath's domain. They learn Priscilla and Seath's tricks and moves and know how to counter them. To become a dragonslayer you require 2 prestige points, pass the trial of combat and must present me with a moonlight greatsword you cut from Seath yourself.

Knight of Havel
The Knights of Havel follow Havel. They use his armour with a greatshield and a dragon weapon. They share his hate of sorcery but combined with a distaste for the undead. They mainly participate in co-op on Seath and Nito's domains. Knights of Havel may traverse the darkness of the tomb of giants whenever they wish to,unlike normal knights who must wait for special events. To become a knight of Havel you must have 2 prestige points, pass the trial of combat and show me the white titanite slab you stole from Nito's domain.

Sunlit Knight
The Sunlit warriors follow Solaire and his sad tale of defeat. They wear Solaire's set and wiled a fire or lightning weapon to simulate the sun. They strive to succeed where he failed and conquer Lost Izalith. They mainly participate in co-op in the demon's ruins and Lost Izalith. To become a Sunlit Knight you must have 2 prestige, pass the trial of combat and present me with the sunlight maggot taken from one of the beasts who felled Solaire.

Crystal Seekers
With the discovery of the crystal ember Oscar was desperate to learn its secrets so they could be used against Seath. He charged Andarta the Sage with creating a new order of knights to unlock its secrets and the old magic of flame. These knights follow the idaels of Logan. They co-op in the duke's archives, crystal cave and in the demon's ruins at the demon firesage. To become a Crystal Seeker you must have 2 prestige and show me both the crystal ember and the demon catalyst.

The trial of combat involves a duel against Combat Instructor Amos or Mildred. You do not need to defeat him to pass, just be judged worthy.

Feasting hall

Yes I did just steal this from the Men in tights. Sorry Tolvo but it was too good to pass up. Here is where we share stories of our knightly conquests. Be sure to post any hilarious or memorable questings here.

Lady Mildred's quest to take the tail of Seath

Spoiler:

The Great Cleansing of Lordran Challenge
Its time. You have earnt 5 prestige already, you have proven yourself a powerful kngiht, your worth earnt in battle. But now you hunger for more, your passion at your goal drives you. You will not stop until Lordran is free, you will cleanse it of evil. And most of all, you will do it looking right.
The challenge consists of large pve parts with a few small pvp bits in between. It will test all you and your toons skills. The SL cap for the challenge is 120. It must also be completed in NG+ or above (although no extra prestige is awarded for higher NGs). To make the challenge a little easier you may useany toon that fufills the requirements, not just your knights toon. When you are required to fight a leader you may fight them after you have killed the boss for that area. If you lose against a leader you must wait 3 days befor you can fight them again.

First is the cleansing of the ToG. You might fight and kill the Gravesworn leader (Either Viral or DxV04) on their home turf. You must also kill Nito wearing the Knight of Havel's gear.

The cleansing of the archives. You must fight and kill the lifehunter's leader (Wyrmhero or JK) and kill Seath wearing the Dragonslayer's gear.

The cleansing of Lost Izalith. You must first kill the followers leader (Wyrmhero or ChaosServantSPectre) and also eliminte every bounding demon wearing the Sunlit Knights's gear.

The cleansing of New Londo. You must first kill the darklstalker leader (Billy or Dancash) and kill the 4 kings wearing The Crystal Seeker's gear.

So you've cleansed Lordran right? Nope. Next up you have to kill ... the bridge wyvern. But for aded challenge you are only allowed to deal damage when he is on the bridge, not up there roosting. The only time you may hit him while he's up there is to bring him down.

Now your just looking forward tyo sitting back and relaxing right? Hanging your nice shony 3 new prestige on your wall? Well you've still got another challenge. You must first fight the POLG leader (Nsane32 or DarkW17) and fight Gwyn wearing your original knightly gear, weapon upgrades are allowed, armour upgrades are not, without parrrying him.

And after all that up simply hae to link iwith the fire to complete the challenge. Easy aye? Now for your reward. As mentioned before you get a 3 brand spanking new prestige. You are also now eligible for titles.

Titles
As part of this polishing I am adding titles. They are not however, easy to get. To begin with you must complete the great cleansing challenge. But that does not give you a title. You must then earn it separately by writing some insanely good lore or doing really well in a war. These are something to earn, to really strive for. Dont ask me for them, dont do something and then ask "do I get a title now?". I will give you a title when I feel you have earnt it. Now go out and get some prestige!
