The Circle of Knights
The current Speaker for the Circle is Sir Spyder the Burned, Knight of the Realm
The Circle of Knights is made up of all the Knights of the Realm and the Knight Bachelors. Knighthood is a dual-status in that it is conferred to a character, but also to a player. Players that have achieved Knighthood are entitled to the trappings, titles, and prestige of Knighthood, but also to the highest standards of play. Becoming a Knight is not an easy journey. A player must serve for a minimum of a year as a squire/page (or achieve class masterhood) and have masterhood in a Noble Order. Once achieved the player may petition the Circle of Knights for the rank of Knight Bachelor. If approved the Knight Bachelor must spend six months to a year fulfilling the requirements to be finally elevated to the rank of Knight of the Realm by the Monarch (King or Queen).
Knights also serve as out-of-game mediators when necessary. Knights can often be denoted by their white belt or red w/gold trim if they are a Knight Bachelor. Although, because Knighthood is an in character accolade, many Knights will only wear their Knightly trappings when they are playing their Knighted character.
The Circle of Knights meets at the event prior to every Althing.
