==Knights of the Realm==
Throughout Elanthian history, myriad individuals have gone above and beyond the call of duty, in the name of the [[Turamzzyrian Empire]]. Many of these individuals have put themselves in harm's way in order to protect both kin and country. For them, the good of others was paramount, and thus were honored for the valor and courage they exhibited, and the contributions and sacrifices they made. 

Not all of the individuals known to have been knighted have sword fealty to the Turmazzyrian Empire.

Many of the names and accomplishments of these individuals have been lost to the annals of time. It is for that reason this records exists. 

==Ranks==

Individuals may be knighted by their own barony or by a Baron of the Empire who found their deeds worthy of such.

No discussion of knighthood would be complete without an understanding of the system of ranking.

'''Knight-errant''' - knighted by lords for valor, deeds or actions. It is important to note that while these knights are often not sworn to honor or defend the empire, if they oath they offer is to a to a Baron, regardless of rank, the knight is in service to the Empire as well as said Baron (Count, Sentinel, etc). See notes.

'''Knight-errant of the Empire''' - knighted by a liege and charged with obligation to the empire and knights of it.

'''Knight-banneret''' - Have the right to bear banners bearing their own charges and lead followers under those banners into the field of battle.

'''Knight Commander''' - Recognized leader of an organization within the empire. Sir Thadston Andrews was part of the Order of Llaestal's Guard and bore this rank. (No player has held it and it was unknown prior to Sir Thadston)
