{{refstart}}Knights are warriors who pledge service to rulers, religious orders, and noble causes. A knight's alignment determines the extent to which a pledge is honored. Whether undertaking a quest or patrolling a realm, a knight often travels with an entourage that includes squires and hirelings who are [[SRD5:Commoner NPC|commoners]].{{refend|{{SRD5ref}}}}
