The White Knight Order is a very traditional Order of Saradominist knights, and as such uniform plays a big part in the structure of their Order. Please note that uniform is only required when a character is on duty. Role-plays that take place when a member is, for example, relaxing in the tavern do not require uniforms.

:·†·:Code of Chivalry:·†·:
“'°*^*°'”˜


The White Knights both traditionally and historically follow a very strict and exceptionless Code of Chivalry which dictates how they should act in combat and towards other people. This Order's rendition of the Code of Chivalry can be found in the form of an oath on the very first post, but I'll post it here too;

With the Emperor as my witness,
And as the Lord Saradomin as my guide,
I doth kneel before you with soul laid bare.
I doth swear to raise my shield and sword to evil heresy,
To oppose false gods and those who support them.
I doth swear to fight with the proudest honour,
To respect all foes by sword and mouth.
I doth swear to defend all those in need of it,
To oppose injustice wherever it may lurk.
I doth swear unending loyalty to the White Knight Order,
To this oath of chivalry lest my life doth end.


The first two lines of the Oath define where the it must be taken. "With the Emperor as my witness" requires the presence of the Emperor of Asgarnia to hear the Oath. "And the Lord Saradomin as my guide" dictates that the Oath must be said in a Church with the Emperor.

"I doth kneel before you with soul laid bare" refers to the requirement that a squire must undergo confession before beginning his Oath.

"I doth swear to raise my shield and sword to evil heresy, To oppose false gods and those who support them" means that White Knights are required to apprehend anyone who is not a Saradominist.

"I doth swear to fight with the proudest honour, To respect all foes by sword and mouth" demands that White Knights fight with the greatest honour possible and to respect their foes no matter what. These forbids White Knights from stealth-attacking, spying, or running away.

"I doth swear to defend all those in need of it, To oppose injustice wherever it may lurk" requires that White Knights step in to defend the innocent wherever they may be.

"I doth swear unending loyalty to the White Knight Order, To this oath of chivalry lest my life doth end" signifies that the oath-taker has pledged their life to the White Knight Order. Abandoning the Order can be considered a desertion, but the Grandmaster reserves the power to release Knights from their oaths.

The White Knights are, obviously, Knights. This means that they are highly trained in all form of the more 'noble' forms of combat and they are trained to excel at this, and they must, if they are ever to become a fully-fledged White Knight. The training that a Squire undergoes to become a White Knight cover several areas.

Piety;
The White Knights are highly-pious and faithful to the Saradominist faith. They learn many prayers that they can use while in battle, such as calling on Saradomin to protect them slightly from certain combat styles, or making their sword-arm temporarily stronger.

Combat;
Unsurprisingly, the White Knights are extensively trained in hand-to-hand combat with multiple weapons, such as swords, longswords, maces and heavy-weaponary.

Mounted Combat;
As they are a traditional knight order, the White Knights are well versed in the art of fighting on horseback. This includes the use of lances, spears and bows whilst on horseback in battle.

Archery;
White Knights are trained in the use of archery.

The White Knight Order are usually assigned a budget of 15,000 GP per month by the Asgarnian Treasury, used to pay for equipment, campaigns and other supplies.

The White Knight equipment is of an excellent caliber, the steel purchased from the city's own mining guild and the city employs a huge smithing industry, which fashion the White Knight weapons and armour.

Their bows and other wooden equipment are made from oak wood gathered from the surrounding area, with ceremonial pieces of equipment being fashioned from the lone Elder Tree which lies situated outside Falador's southern walls.

The White Knights also have access to the Imperial Army's siege weaponary.

The White Knight mounts are bred in stables near Port Sarim.

The White Knight's Castle is a behemoth of a fortress and the crowning jewel of Falador. It is the beating political heart of the Asgarnian Empire and houses the Emperor, but it is also the home of the White Knight Order, and always has been.

While the Castle may not be as strategically defensive as the fabled Black Knights' Fortress, it is an architectural wonder. The Castle employs Gielinor's finest masons to maintain the Castle's beauty.

The White Knights can find business in any part of the Castle. The bottom of the East Keep (where Crux Eqal operates) serves as a general office and meeting room for members of the Order to discuss things in. Typically they would discuss battle strategies in this room, as well as other thing that need to be addressed.

The Baracks can be found in the southern part of the Castle, where the White Knights sleep and eat when they are off duty. They sleep in the room with the many bunks, while they are cooked meals by servants in the neighboring room.

The prisons sort of serve as prisons. Here, important prisoners captured by the White Knights are incarcerated and interrogated, if needs be. However, the room is not too heavily guarded, simply with locked cells, prisoners being manacled, and the doors into the rooms being locked.

White Knights can often be found patrolling or training on the high-ramparts of the white fort.
