Knight



Knight (騎士, kishi) is one of three main occupations held by nobles in Yurgenschmidt, along with Scholar and Attendant.

A knight's main duties include:


 * Protection: Guard knights (護衛騎士, goei kishi) serve nobles as retainers, acting as bodyguards whose first duty is to protect their lord or lady.
 * Extermination: The Knight's Order (騎士団, kishi-dan) is responsible for exterminating dangerous feybeasts and feyplants that could endanger the citizens of the area, such as trombe.

Knights who do not serve a noble as a retainer typically work with the Knight's Order. Those in Ehrenfest may live in barracks at the Archduke's Castle.

Knights must attend the Royal Academy and graduate from the knight's course, which begins in the third year. Prior to that, all first years take the same introductory classes. Most apprentice knights also participate in ditter matches throughout the year and exhibition matches during the Interduchy Tournament.
