The Royal Knights of Khanid take their name from an ancient order of warriors dedicated to defending the Khanid people that predates even the Amarr Empire. However, the modern day Royal Knights of Khanid are relatively new, and weren't established until after King Khanid's succession from the Empire. While the Knights are not a religious order per se, they see no distinction between themselves and other orders of the faith, and hold that service to the Kingdom is the greatest way to serve God. Members of the Royal Knights of Khanid seek to embody the Khanid Kingdom's greatest strengths: dedication to tradition and commitment to honor, coupled with progressive thinking and dynamic ambition.
