The squire has to prove his loyalty within the next two weeks and has to improve himself by passing the knowledge and fighting tests to be a knight. He has to partake the official meetings / hunts organized by the Priors at least once a week. His Bondknight will be the first contact regarding question about the game and the order. If a Seeker of Truth is not able to find a bondknight within a week he will be dismissed. |
