Announcing Dayne's Academy

Posted by Edain on 04/06/18
The last five years have be ones of great turmoil for the Compact, we have fought, and we have won, but we have lost much. One of the very first losses of this entire series of events, was the loss of Lord Commander Dayne Valardin, the greatest knight of this age. Inspired by his example, countless knights who have sworn the Three Oaths have fallen fighting to protect the home they love and are honor bound to defend. Now more than ever the Compact needs more knights.

It is why I believe we should let Lord Commander Dayne's example inspire us again. So I am pleased to announce that house Valardin, and three knightly orders that were very close to the Lord Commander's heart, the King's own, the Holy Knights of the Temple, and the Knights of Solace have agreed to come together and build an Academy to try in the arts of knighthood. This Academy will be named in Lord Commander Dayne's memory and train the next generation of knighthood in a manner that lives up to his lofty example.

The Lord Commander gave his life to all of the Compact when he swore his oath to be one of the Silver Swords and so Dayne's Academy will be for all of the compact. Those of all fealties that aspire to knighthood will be able to become aspirants and see if they have what it takes. We will reach out the the young and the orphan's of the city to find those that wish to serve as pages and squires to aspirants, and perhaps one day become aspirants and then knights themselves.

This will be a great endeavor and we will welcome any that wish to to help in this quest to build Dayne's Academy. Soon we shall announce the first Commandant of Dayne's Academy and build a facility that will ensure the Lord Commander's spirit will never leave us.

May the Gods ever protect us.
May Dayne's example ever inspire us.
