The Order of the Spur
The Order of the Spur is an Order for those who seek Knighthood but do not
fit within the confines of our tradition or are bound by service to a
separate nation.
Eligibility for the Order of the Spur requires a person to be of upright
moral bearing, of good and wholesome alignment, and hold faith with a deity
on the Pantheon of Good.
The Knights of the Spur report to the Order of the Crown. A Crown Officer
of Captain or above will be assigned to serve as their liaison. The Spur
will have two officer positions, a Captain of the Spur who will report
directly to the Officer assigned as their liaison. When the need arises for
an Adjutant and second in command an Lieutenant may be added. While Knights
of the Spur answer to Knighthood they are still residents of the Kingdom in
which they reside and as such must obey the laws thereof.
The Order of the Spur will also report to the Emperor on all civil matters
pertaining to the Spur. As members of Althainia they are required to abide
by the laws of Althainia. Orders to members of the Spur from the Emperor
are to be followed excepting where they order a Knight to go against the
Code of Knighthood
Each member of the Spur will begin as a Page of the Spur. When they are
ready to become a squire they must apply to a Serving Knight of the Crown,
Lance, or Shield, or an officer of the Spur. From there the mentor will
train the squire with tasks and standards from Gareths Keep. For those
members who do not take up direct arms, parallel tasks will be issued ensure
their readiness to serve. When a squire is ready they will be properly
evaluated and a ceremony will be held to Knight them. Those who wish to
join the Spur must seek the Approval from the highest governing authority
they currently answer to.
Those who are able to and intend to join Knighthood proper, may complete
their page tasks within the spur or the keep itself. Those who have
completed their page training within the Spur and wish to join the Keep will
be tested as appropriate.
Those who complete their training and become Knights of the Spur and are
eligible to join the Keep may so do but they will be tested strenuously as
they have not faced the same trials of combat that those who join the keep
when they are able. Those who do so will join as a Knight of the Shield.

Fellow citizens of Althainia,
It is with great pleasure I announce the beginning of the new order of the
the Imperial Knights of Althainia. Henceforth we will now consist of a
branch of Gareth's Keep known as the Knights of the Spur.
This order is open to all citizens with good and pure intent who give their
faith to a deity of Goodness. Those wishing to continue to the Keep itself
must be human however those who wish to continue as Knights in our fair city
can be of any race allowed within our laws. All members will train with
myself or a member of the Keep.
Any who wish to join the Knights of the Spur should come see me to apply. I
am happy to answer any questions you may have. May our bond with the Keep
grow and the Goodness within the city thrive as we attempt to rebuild what
had been lost. May the Pantheon of Goodness guide our hearts and deeds.
Knight Antramita uth Brennan
Captain of the Spur
