To the Code of Chivalry.

Those knights who break the Code must be brought before Lord Coake or another senior knight and punished for their deeds. While some will take quests (typically Crusader Cyber-knight motiffs) to make up for their misdeeds, most are simply physicallt punished or stripped of their rank, left to wander outside the fellowship as cast-off warriors. These outsiders often fall into deep melancholy.Some retire from knighthood (coming out only when absolutely needed), others wander in search of some way to regain their lost status or continue to wander the land as rogue cyber-knights (anti-heroes if you will), living by their own standards. The worst descend into bitter villainy.

Most cyber-knights. even the fallen ones...........
