The [[Knight]]’s role is to lead from the absolute vanguard, absorbing the initial, most violent shocks of a battlefield so their followers might survive. While [[Otan]]’s master blacksmiths produce exceptional plate, even the finest steel is insufficient for such a suicide mission. Through the [[Code of Armor]], a [[Knight]] manifests their "Will" to turn a defensive shell into a living weapon system.

To these [[Knight]]s, armor is not a burden; it is an offensive tool. They utilize proactive positioning to knock back foes with a shoulder-check or trample them with an armored mount. Most impressively, the Code allows a [[Knight]] to "reflect" damage, returning the force of an enemy’s strike without ever lifting a sword. A [[Knight]] who has mastered this Code is a walking fortress, nearly invincible in the thick of a melee.

Training for the [[Code of Armor]] requires a functional armory, a sprawling training field, and a dedicated blacksmith to recalibrate the steel as it begins to respond to the [[Knight]]’s "Will." The instructor is always the [[Knight]]’s Lord, who guides them through grueling physical drills. A unique aspect of this education is the requirement of legacy: a [[Knight]] does not truly master a power until they have successfully passed the foundational training along to a squire. While the Lord provides the guidance, it is the [[Knight]]’s own lived conviction, and the eventual "assent" of their mentor, that triggers the manifestation of the [[Knight]]'s new supernatural power.
