⚜️ Ranks & Titles

騎士 · Knight — Warrior of the Lower Nobility

The lowest rung of the noble hierarchy, a warrior class whose rank is earned through a sworn oath of fealty to a liege lord. Unlike other noble titles that are inherited, the knighthood can be conferred upon a commoner for deeds of valor or a lord's recognition — making it the most accessible path of social ascent. In fantasy worlds, numerous derivative classes exist, including the Paladin, Dark Knight, and Magic Knight.

女騎士 · Dame — A Female Warrior Who Earned Her Title by Sword and Oath

A woman who has been formally invested with knighthood through the knight's oath. Historically rare, but in fantasy worlds she is a common figure in holy orders, royal guards, and magic knight corps. 'Dame' is the official title granted to female knights in the British chivalric system; in Eastern fantasy she appears as a female general, wandering swordswoman, or Hwarang warrior. The Dame is frequently portrayed as a character caught between the codes of chivalry and the social expectations placed on women.
