This is the Kingsguard handbook and is to be abided by at all times by all Kingsguard members.
I: Kingsguard are not permitted outside the keep unless they are protecting Royalty, or are ordered by the the King or Kingsguard Officers. (Or escorting a person of value.)
II: Watchman of the Kingsguard are not permitted on the training podium unless there is not a knight currently there.
III: The Kingsguard are law within the keep. Everything they say is law. If a Knight of the Kingsguard gives an order it must be followed or the perpetrator may be forcefully removed from the keep by all means necessary. If the Kingsguard are outside of the keep and guarding an important person who is seen of high value (King, Queen, the Hand, etc) they are ABOVE THE LAW and can kill you for getting too close, disrespect, and/or taunting. If they feel threatened, or the life of whom they're guarding is threatened, you will be killed. The Kingsguard are above the law whenever protecting the throne, or any target of value.
IV: While any member of the Royal Family is in game that receives protection, knights of the Kingsguard are not permitted to go off-duty. Whilst being a member of the Kingsguard, grammar is a MUST. If a Captain, or the Lord Commander sees you lacking grammar, you will be disciplined. Do not argue with a superior rank if they give an order, you will be punished if you do so.
V: Maturity will be shown at all times, in game and in chat.
VI: Members are chosen from all ranks, or can be recommended by current Knights of the Kingsguard for a chance at watchmanship, you need to be at least recommended by TWO knights of the Kingsguard to be considered. Members of the Small Council, and the Royal Family (Excluding the King) can RECOMMEND Vassa#######he Lord Commander or Captain, but even then there is never a definitive answer that said person would be allowed to be a member.
VII: The King may personally recommend people to Watchman, these chosen few will automatically be given a chance to become a Watchman for the Kingsguard, and depending on how they do they will be Knighted or removed from the Kingsguard.
VIII: Watchmen go through a period of up to two weeks aiding a single Knight before the decision is made by the Officer core of the Kingsguard whether the watchman shall be knighted, removed, or given more time to prove himself.
IX: Knights of the Kingsguard are the sworn defendants of the King of Imperius. The King decides whether his direct descendents and generals receive protection from the Kingsguard. It is his choice, unless the person in question to be protected has killed, taunted, or maimed Kingsguard in any way in the past.
X: It is the responsibility of all current Knights and Watchmen of the Kingsguard to follow every command given to them by the King, and all KG Officers. |
