*- All of the above requirements are minimum requirements, and whenever possible you should strive to exceed them in anyway you can. Talk with your mentor once you have met the requirements and they will ensure that you are ready for the most challenging of exams. The Knighthood exam tests your skills, your ethics, your knowledge of the realm, and delves into the very heart of what Honor, Courage, and Loyalty truly mean.

interview must be conducted by one of them.
