Xalet appreciated Harper's belief that there was at least some cerebral reason behind his words. A mage with a powerful force of will could be a powerful ally and weapon, just so long as they kept their desires in check when faced with the allure of the madness of magic. His Patron had always kept him away from magic, and for good reason, that type of taint within his already unsteady Souls would have presented more problems they they were potentially worth. The body was an amazing thing though, and legends had told of simple men whom had surpassed the limits of the mortal form simply through skill and training. These men and women were impressive enough to walk amongst even the Gods in the eyes of those they stood before.
"There's much to tell. She is a Sergeant, her name is Irine Braklin. She is decended from one of the very first families that founded Syliras, back before the entirety was all simply dangerous, untamed land. Almost all those within those families become Knights, or are affiliated with the Knights. Now, with the stregnth of our numbers the Knighthoood has progressed past Syliras, taking up outposts all over and furter securing the lands upon which we walk." he spoke, although he quickly found himself digressing. Reigning in his words he focused back upon his Patron, "The Sergeant has many talents. She is skilled in warfare, extremely so. She understands how to wield many weapons, including the weapons of her Konti people. She is also skilled in communication, and has discovered many secrets and solved many disputes through the power of her voice alone."
Of course that wasn't all. You did't get rank by simply doing your job, and the Sergeant had another important and invaluable abilities, "She is also twice marked by the God of healing, and has powerful herbal knowledge to support her supernatural healing abilities. Priskil has also taken interest in her." The way Xalet spoke of his Patron, he was undeniably proud to have her being the one to order him about.
"To become a Knight you must first become a squire. After one proves themselves to have not only the integrity and honor, but also the skill and knowledge to become a Knight, they must undergo a quest. The task is always different, and they're very secretive about them. Once the quest is passed, one has their Knighting ceremony and is bestoweed their weapon, armor, and horse and obtain their first assignments." Becoming a Knight sounded involved, and it was, understandibly. A knight had several great benefits by the power of Syliras, and the position was not to be taken lightly. Knights were highly trained and carried the best equipment. "But that is all, one does not need money or station to start upon the path, just the desire. There is a recruitment office where one applies and is interviewed by a Knight. Some move through their squirehood very quickly based upon their skills. There are many different specialist Knights, such as Mage Knights. Were you interested in becoming one?"
