The knights' guild is now open for general play. Knights are a 15-level
civilized guild, tanks with some minor spellcasting, that can be joined once
you have the maximum level in squires.
The knights' guild is not for everyone. There are some RPG-like elements to
the guild that some mortals will not enjoy, while others might find a
refreshing change of pace. I strongly recommend anyone thinking of joining
knights to do their homework and research the guild first, rather than getting
into a reinc that gets them into trouble.
