1. Upon joining the military, at the rightful age of 13, you are given a trial period of five years as a squire to prove yourself. During that time, you will be assigned to astral or umbral, learning the dogma and given the final decision of which path to take. Upon assignment, you are given knighthood. You cannot become a knight before 16 (minimum), and you can become a registered squire at 13 (minimum).
   
2. As a knight, you are to serve your commander and captain loyally, and do as you are told; failure can lead to a strip of knighthood and a state-ordained reeducation. Continuing failure means returning to being a citizen.
   
3. As a knight, you are to uphold the religious and societal laws, policing all those that are around you to the highest authority.
   
4. As a knight, you are also held to a higher standard, and failure to do so will lead to heavier reprimands than if you were a simple citizen: you are an idol to mimic for citizens, act like it.
   
5. Betraying your posts for selfish gain is a means for strip of knighthood, if not worse, depending on severity.
   
6. Using your status as a means of harassing others unjustly is grounds for a strip of knighthood, if not worse, depending on severity.
   
7. Failure to contribute to society as a knight, or deciding to go off without warning, is grounds for a return to citizenhood (long term stands of afkness without much notice.)
   
8. Squires and Knights are required to patrol at least once every other year, and in doing so any and all reports must be filed by paper and mailed to all acting representatives of Gloomlight (IE Captain+) 
   
9. In the absence of any acting leadership, Knights and above may use their best judgment in accordance with Gloomlight laws and morals to maintain the structure of peace until they can get an adequate judgment from their officials.
