Description

The Order of noble knights usually keep themselves aloof from worldly concerns, although they sometimes allow themselves to be hired out to those who uphold their ideals of Good and Purity. They seek the Sacred Grail, a holy artifact which is upheld as a symbol of divine authority. They also value the Gloves used by past saints, now known as the Gloves of Strength and the Deft Gloves.

Trading

The Order have Armour, Warhorses and Heavy weapons including the much-sought-after Morning Star and Crossbow. Any of the Heavy characters would be keen on getting their hands on the Order's possessions, especially the White Knight.

Hiring

The Order, like the Rogues, can be hired only one at a time. This is because they are tough as titanium nails with extra toughening toughness added. Twice. They can be lifesavers - use them to lure monsters. They are protected by their Tremendous Armoured warhorses and by their own armour, so they are incredibly tough for any monster to kill. A Tremendous monster will, however, kill them as easily as it kills any other character if it catches him red-side up, so be careful.

Fighting

Don't do it. Just don't. In theory, the Berserker or another T-dealing character should be able to manage it, but it would be a tough fight. Their warhorses are Tremendous and armoured, making each one as hard to take out as a dragon, and that's before you even get to the Knight riding it. If you think you can take on eight dragons in one go, then more power to you. The Notoriety bounty for killing the Order is huge.
