| Duelling with swords has long been a tradition among the nobility. Like a lot of other things about the nobility, it used to have a legal role - the results of a duel were legally binding so long as no foul play occurred during it, and duels could be fought to the death if both parties agreed. Both of these things are no longer the case - a death during a duel would attract the attention of the city watch and any agreement made prior to a duel is only binding in so far as considerable shame would fall upon anyone who didn't hold up their side of an agreement. | Duelling with swords has long been a tradition among the nobility.

| + | ==== Knights ==== | ||
| + | Originally defenders of the crown. Noble families would train a member of the family from birth to be a body-guard to the King or Queen, and those in the line of succession. This was generally considered a fairly good way for a noble house to win favour, the closer the Knight was to the house's head the better. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Since the revolution, the surviving noble houses have been careful to avoid any appearance of training knights. However, the image of Knights in Armour has been deeply engraved in the public consciousness and has been adopted by both the churches (who were heavily involved in the training of the original Knights) and almost any organisation who maintains a fighting force (where a "Knight" or Standard-Bearer would lead the force into battle as part of Acryn's army). Traditional Knights were usually fully armoured in gleaming metal plates. This tradition is maintained by those trained by the churches, but for practical reasons those trained by other organisations tend to use mostly leather, with a few metal plates in key areas. | ||
