Order of the Garter

The Order of the Garter is a knightly order within the Kingdom of Almeron, largely dedicated to the protection of nobility and the laws of chivalry. Those of their order swear oaths of loyalty to nobility who either cannot afford to defend themselves or who are too gentle to do so, making most of the Knights of the Garter exceptional bodyguards. Though this is one of the only roles they fulfill, they do it exceedingly well. To be a Knight of the Garter is to dedicate one's self entirely to a noble, willing to lay down their life and to follow chivalric values always. Many of the most notable personal guards throughout the Kingdom are Knights of the Garter, serving everyone from penniless Counts to the King himself. What makes the order unique is it's often autonomous nature, as each Knight is free to pick who they serve. As such, the order rarely gathers in any sizable body save for when the Kingdom is in dire need. They are easily identifiable by the unique garter belts they don, threaded with the words 'We Serve'.
