Introduction
The Knight is a physical combatant. He or she is concerned with the study of physical prowess (weapons, melee, swordplay, endurance) rather than over the airy magical realms. Consider the Knight profession if you are fast, quick-witted or aggressive, but keen to keep simple and effective. They are strong in combat both offensively and defensively though rely on good maintenance of weapons, armour and equipment.
The Templars are an evolution of the former Paladins Guild after the fall of Springdale and though without specific moral constraints are foresworn to uphold the laws and interests of Silverfalls and protect all its citizens wheresoever they may be.
Words of Pryrates, first guildmaster
The Templars are a guild of the Knight profession sworn to uphold the values and safety of Silverfalls and all its citizens. It has no specific alignment or moral code.
Sule, current guildmaster says the following about the guild
The Templar is not simply a knight. The Templar does not follow the misconceptions of good and evil, the Templar is more than that. Templars do not honor death, they regret any life they take, while acknowledging the necessity of combat. In that, however, the Templar follows higher ideals, of which life and the very heavens themselves were founded upon.
