Squire

Squire is a title given to someone in training to be a Knight . In Falaran society it was reserved for nobility as with the Knight title but in other cultures such as that of Tortle a lowborn could rise to both positions.
Squires were expected to perform basic services such as cleaning, cooking and equipment maintenance for their master whilst also taking time to learn from them both the code of values and combat teachings of their chosen school of combat. Squires tended to keep their position for several years dependent on the tradition they were joining with some lasting closer to multiple decades and others only a few years.
