Within the stone walls of The Academy, it's instilled that the role of a Knight extends beyond the battlefield. In the bustling courtrooms and quiet council chambers, Knights are revered as the lawkeepers of the land. It's not enough to wield a sword; a Knight must also wield the weight of the kingdom's laws with fairness and unwavering judgment. The intricate codes and edicts of The Academy, and the broader legal tapestry of the realm, serve as guiding lights. As guardians of justice, Knights are tasked with upholding these laws, ensuring that the realm remains a bastion of order, equity, and honor.
