Eld Knight

The honoured guardians of Druin Dria few receive the title, for it is one of the highest honours that can be bestowed. They are trained in all forms of combat, from swordsmanship and archery to hand-to-hand combat and horseback riding. They also receive extensive training in strategy, tactics, and diplomacy, making them well-rounded defenders of the realm. While the position does not come with much political power technically, most lords would be willing to do favours for an Eld Knight by reputation alone, and any noble household would certainly welcome them within their home, making them very capable of influencing the political landscape, even without much direct authority.
In addition to their influence and martial prowess, Eld Knights are also renowned for their unwavering loyalty to the throne. Eld Knights are chosen based on a combination of merit and virtue and must have demonstrated exceptional skill, bravery, and loyalty in service to the kingdom. Once chosen, they take an oath to protect the kingdom and its people with their lives, and to uphold the laws and traditions of Druin Dria.
While Eld Knights are primarily responsible for the defence of Druin Dria, they also play a role in maintaining the kingdom's cultural and spiritual heritage. They are often called upon to officiate at important ceremonies and events and are expected to act as role models for the kingdom's youth. Overall, Eld Knights are an essential part of the fabric of Druin Dria, embodying the kingdom's values of honour, loyalty, and service. Their presence inspires confidence in the people and helps to ensure the stability and security of the realm.
