Line 1:

A knight is a figure of esteem in Andal society. He is both the equivalent to the heroes, warriors and champions of the First Men, but also the embodiment of the chivalric values of Andal Society.

Many knights have lived lives that have become legend. Others have become a black mark on the memory of the Andal people:

* Ser Samwell Wythers - Died protecting his king Gaston Darklyn in a decisive battle for the fate of throne and kingdom. Is still revered in the Blackwater for bravery, honour and devotion.

* Ser Ardros Bracken - Born Ardros Rivers, this knight led battles against Tristifer Mudd himself, the claimaint to Oldstones and would continue to lead battles for the duration of the war. He was a close friend to Edric Mudd and Barion Gaunt and died whilst leading a battle against the heathens in the Gaunt-Grey war. He was in many ways the pinnacle of a knight, being a great fighter, but also open-handed with mercy and compassion.

* Ser Corliss Den Ford - one of the great lords of the Rivermark, Corliss Den Ford is revered not only for his supreme command of the battlefield, but for his chivalry and devotion to the Andal cause.

* Ser Barrett Blackdell - Known as 'the Black Knight', Blackdell became famous and infamous both for his role fighting the forces of the Reach in the service of the Kings of the Rock. He was knighted following slaying King Mern Gardener by Robert Risley and announted with the Seven Oils, despite the fact he was said to hail from over the Red Mountains. Barrett robbed the corpse of the slain king and kept much of his arms and finery. Thus, Barrett Blackdell is considered a legendary figure by Hedge Knights and Brigands alike, who seek high rises in station, carved in steel and blood.

* Ser Galladhon of Morne - A cautionary tale for aspiring knights across Westeros. Galladhon was gifted a magic sword from the Maid herself, and swore to never use it in unworthy cause, for honour. Instead, he fell to the sins of the world, causing great harm and suffering to declare himself king of Tarth, and seek out further wars. He died a wandering, broken man - and his sword lost to the ages. Many knights attempt to quest for the [[Just Maid]], even centuries later.
