The Knight’s "schools" are not physical institutions, but the Chivalric Codes; five sets of laws written plainly in every tongue for all to read. However, reading is not mastery; a Knight manifests these codes into supernatural power only by living them with total conviction. The Code of Dominion formalizes the Knight’s role as a natural leader.

Through this code, the Knight’s voice becomes more than a command; it is a conduit of "Will." These Powers ensure orders are heard over the din of war, granting followers supernatural bravery, competence, and inspiration. To the practitioner of Dominion, leadership is a sacred burden that transforms a disorganized mob into an extension of the Knight’s own resolve.

Teaching Methods

Mastery of Dominion requires a forum for authority. A Knight cannot learn to lead in a vacuum; they must hold property and maintain a household staff to practice the nuances of command. Training is a strict hierarchy of fealty: a student Knight pledges themselves to a Lord (a more experienced Knight), who in turn serves a higher Lord, ascending eventually to a Regent who serves no one.

Lessons are subtle and all-encompassing, ranging from shifting armies across a map to the etiquette of wine service and elocution. These tasks teach the student that they are not serving their own ego, but the eternal institution and hierarchy they represent.
