Antoran Chivalry: Difference between revisions

Distinct from the Chivalric Antoran Orders, the Knightly Orders of Antora are independant organizations that do not draw authority or patronage from the Monarchy. In structure, they are mostly identical to the Chivalric Orders. Each has a series of ranks and responsibilities for members as well as individual traditions. None can claim the history or prestige of the five Chivalric Antoran Orders, however; the oldest, the Order of the Oak Arrow, was founded in 1855. The Knightly Orders are geared more towards traditional chivalric values and action than the Chivalric Orders, which exist today as more of a system of status and accomplishment. Each Knightly Order manages their own members, funds, and operations. The Monarchy allows them to operate on their own in exchange for Oaths of Honorable Fealty that prevent the Orders from acting against the interests of the Antoran state, people, or the Monarchy itself.
