Editing Knights (section)

=== Forming a Knight Order ===
Normally, the recognition of a new Knight Order requires substantial representation such as at least a hundred members of pre-existing class, and may include the credentials of a notable chivalrous individual. The bar for the minimum amount of members in a new Order was raised to two hundred on [[Terandria]] after the formation of the Order of the Hydra, and remains lower on other continents which have less [Knights], but [[Izril]], [[Baleros]], and [[Rhir]] still need special dispensation to establish a new Order. [[Chandrar]] maintained that the amount of [Knights] in good standing needed to pledge to form an Order were as many as there were [[Shield Kingdoms]], which is currently four plus one leadership role, for a minimum of five members.

One can declare an Intention of Familiarity, or ''Intent Valoris'', which requires at least two [Knights] wishing to form an order and expressing interest in the same causes. An Order can be declared via crusade-law, which can be invoked by ''Virtue Familaris''. A Knight Order can be convened anywhere with enough authority, regardless of where they were declared to have been formed.<ref name=":0" />
