True Knight

True Knight is a rank and title that knights can only achieve directly from the High Electant Confessorate himself by travelling to Astrannor and swearing his loyalty to the True Lord. By ascending they are no longer bound to obey their lord or King, but answer only to the Confessors or those of higher pastoral power.

Duty
Along with increased privileges there comes new duties as well, which are sworn along with their regular vows:

"I swear to be the eyes of our Lord, equally to behold his beauty and to stand vigil against heathens and infidels.           I swear to be the arm of our Lord, and to offer it to his most holy men as they travel the world on their quest.                  I swear to be the sword of out Lord, to strike down those that would oppose him.                                                              Such is my vow, for now and until my last breath, that I will neither sire heirs nor bind myself to a maiden - for my allegiance lies solely with our Lord."

Should a True Knight fail to perform his duties, or would disgrace himself or the church in any matter, he is required to travel to Astrannor and perform a ritual sacrifice (called the last gift) while the clergy, noblemen and his fellow knights are observing.
