I find it odd how the knight's sheathed sword fell from his sword-belt. Presumably, it is not set in a sword-belt, but simply passed under a normal belt, or indeed perhaps carried by hand but that does not seem to be the case. How inept of him to not wear his sword or sword-belt properly. In my five years of swordsmanship and harnischfechten, I have never experienced, nor have ever seen, a case of which someone so carelessly lost one's sword, but there's a first time for everything!

It's a dagger, not a sword.

I imagine it as being a dagger the knight kept strapped to one leg, but in the rush to get moving he didn't tighten it properly and his half-fall knocked it loose.
I had no idea.

Daggers were not strapped to the leg (the blade could jump out during running or fighting), but the sgian dubh could be slipped into the sock.

I don't know how the knights do things in The Koray, you depicted one knight as careless, not Wolf, so I can't say much about this.

Mhm.

During World War 2, Japanese soldiers and German SS personnel did kill babies, and Turkish soldiers in World War 1 committed several genocides, though I am not sure if Wolf depicts the knights as such or not. Generally, to make adult soldiers want to even kill babies, they need to be brainwashed since childhood, and then believe their actions are justified based on an authority of some sort. This may be a basis for The Koray's unknightly knights.
