The Kingdom's knights are brave and respected protectors. The Royal Knightly Order of Gigax is especially renowned.

Orcoan Knights were famous around the world for their courage and honor, some even said their was no better knights alive then the Orcoan Orders. Many of the old knight orders have been disbanded after the near overthrow of Emperor Zach The Second during his teenage years in 1946, Only a few knight orders are now active in The imperial states of Orcoa. The greatest of these knightly orders is The Reiksguard, they are the guardians of Orcoa and the personal guards of The emperor.

Originally, the King commanded knights who doubled as landowners and administrators. However, after the knights' rebellion, the knights lost much of their power and just became elite soldiers.

The HCSK makes no provision for people to be knighted, nor for citizens to be knighted by foreign nations. The closest to it is the military award "Order of St. Istvan" which is on the level with the RL Congressional Medal of Honor. The Lehengolt Empire which preceded the HCSK had knights, but such a title became more ceremonial and less military-related starting in the late 1500s. It did experience a brief revival right around the fall of the empire in 1917 with the Lehengolt Imperial Army Air Corps during Lord Kaplan's attempts to use air power to help reinforce a crumbling ground campaign. The use of aircraft in that theater was very limited since no faction had very many at all. Three Lehengolt pilots were knighted by Lord Kaplan after achieving five kills, and were the last recorded knights of the Lehengolt Empire. By comparison, there are no records of any pilot from any other faction having achieved five kills against the LIAAC.

The Teutonic Knights are the foundation for which the Kingdom of Prussia draws its roots, while they no longer survive to the modern day they are a proud part of Prussian and German history.

Knights in our country can be traced back to ancient Greek, Roman and Ottoman civilization.

There's a Knight faction within the Kingdom of BangDeck's military, they're called the Warriors of the Rigid Blade.
They were incorporated to the army for their efforts in BangDeck's first wars.
  • King Marf Santangelo
  • Prime Minister Kenan Thuzed


  • War of Shame: Defeat, lost the whole territory and left the East Pacific.
  • Return to the East Pacific: Victory, took former territory in the region back and forced the survivors of the Krandall Empire to flee to the region of Hampshire.
  • Swinova's Independence War: Victory, Wadomia gave up because Swinova got support of way too many nations.

Rassiu was founded by a group of lost nights. We still have nights.
They have machine guns for swords and Black Hawks for horses.
