Any Knight of the Round Table is empowered to give direct orders to any knight of the order. Failure to comply is considered dereliction of duty.
Each sub order has an appointed leader, although said leaders are more for administrative purposes they act and convey orders as bid by the Knight Commander, The Castellan, or the Knights of the Round.
Beyond that all knights of respective levels are considered equal in said level.
However, when events and such are considered, Knights will be presented in order of precedence.
A knight's precedence in the order is determined by four things.
- The size of the Knight's train. (the number and rank of the knights retainers).
- The knight's RP level.
- The knight's other entitlements, re: Noble rank and peerage.
- The knight's renown for knightly deeds.
