Knights ride out on armored horses; medieval tanks. They carry a lance, shield and sword, enabling a degree of versatility.

They start out with the skill Cavalry Charge, but this is only usable while the lance is equipped. At 15, they learn Chivalric Conduct: This increases their stats for a period of time, but will not work if they are not 'chivalrous'. At 30, they get the Armored Behemoth virtue free, increasing their tankiness. At 50, they recieve the skill Dragon Lance; which causes their weapons to deal fire damage for 30 seconds
