Knights of the Sacred Sword

The Knights of the Order of the Sacred Sword are the only members of The Order of the Sacred Sword.

Tenets of Knighthood
There are four tenets of the Knighthood While it is unclear what the punishment for breaking any of these tenets is, it is sure to be swift and final. The Knights cannot be mistaken for the Order if they wish to continue to survive.
 * 1) A Knight’s honor is his name, and his name is honor.
 * 2) If you vow to do something, then you’d better do it.
 * 3) A Knight is Merciful.
 * 4) While evil cannot be spared, neither is torture condoned.
 * 5) A swift death is a kindness that all beings in creation deserve.
 * 6) A Knight is Kind.
 * 7) It is not our calling to feed the poor, but neither is it our calling to debase them further.
 * 8) All beings in creation are our brothers and sisters and deserving of our respect.
 * 9) A Knight is flexible.
 * 10) Just as his sword is not a rigid piece of metal, the Knight is not unbending.
 * 11) Any Knight who puts his principles above his heart or his mind is a fool, and not to be trusted.

Composition of the Knights
The knights operate in squads of between six and eight members with equal numbers of men and women. The core squad, based out of the castle in England, has fourteen permanent members, almost double that of a normal squad as they also act as protection for the Seer Nancy Bastion.

Internal politics
Fraternization between the men and women of a squad is frowned upon, even if it does happen occasionally. Knights who do begin to have relationships with felow Knights are usually split up into separate squads.

Seth and Lauren are considered a special case, as their relationship was forseen by Nancy Bastion, and Peter decided it would be best for all parties involved if he didn't interfere. Nancy hasn't yet been wrong in one of her predictions that he is aware of.

Seers and the Knights
There have been Seers with the Knights only infrequently over the course of their existence. Peter has some hope that one of his two daughters might become a Seer after Nancy's death.
