Knights of the Round Table

''Each of you have been proven worthy, wise leaders and warrior-kings all. Rise and be anointed as the Knights of the Round Table.''

-Arthor Pendragon

The Knights of the Round Table, also known as the Forsworn or the Paladins of Ancyra after which the victor of the Championship Tournament is named, were the six most trusted and powerful knights of the legendary Arthor Pendragon, wielder of Excalibur and slayer of The Imperfect Kok-Log. The knights of the round table were known as sir Lancelot, sir Gawain, sir Percival, sir Galahad, sir Bors and sir Tristan. Each of the knights accompanied sir Arthor in what was naively dubbed as the 'End of Wars', whereupon Pedragon marshalled an army to oppose the demons forces of Kok-Log

Following Arthors death, some of the knights left to pursue their own destiny while others maintained servitude towards the rebuilding Ancyra. Sir Lancelot in particular is noted as taking the place of Arthor as protector of Ancyra until his death many years later.

Knights Code
The code of the Knights of the Round Table was strict and to be followed at all costs. It spoke of honour, bravery and chivalry in the face of insurmountable corruption. There is only one known instance of Arthor allowing the codes to be broken in his presence, and that was in response to admitting Sir Tristan as a knight despite being an occultist.

Though the original codes are lost they have been reprinted over the years and most of the code remains in-tact. The true code had a list of over two-hundred very specific actions that could and could not be undertaken, however it was later revised to these broad headings.

-- A Knight of the Round Table will never commit assault or murder against an innocent.

-- A Knight of the Round Table will never commit treason against the ruler of Ancyra.

-- A Knight of the Round Table will never be cruel, but instead grant mercy even to his most hated enemy.

-- A Knight of the Round Table will draw his sword only in defense of the country, or of Karm.

-- A Knight of the Round Table will never practice occult magic, and will abhor its practitioners.

-- A Knight of the Round Table will serve the citizens in Ancyra in the greatest way they possibly can.

-- A Knight of the Round Table will suffer no heresy, nor any master of light but that of Karm.
