I've got a knight bg Paladin in 5e that has a squire and a noble lady as his retainers. He takes her on adventures while she writes poems for a bard in the group to recite for some extra coin for the party, while the squire runs back and forth getting supplies and repairs. >feelsgoodman.png

I wasn't. That battle was pretty much the precursor for act 3. Dude ran into the party essentially during the part where everyone was grieving for him, particularly cleric and prince, the latter of whom had grown up with the knight always around in some capacity. It was his best friend and that battle was stuff of legends.

There was also a second battle that allowed the party the proper distraction needed to storm the castle and take on the lich and destroy his phylactery.

there may be more earnest and idealist revolutionaries, but a common cause of the working class is to depart the working class

hahahahahaha
pretty gud.
that would indeed be one of the worst things I can ever imagine.
The thing is that he isn't talking about that. He's talking about following and serving and protecting someone worth protecting and serving.
People not worth protecting tend to die when the assassins come for just that reason. How many times were Roman Dictators, Senators, and Emperors slain by the very Praetorians who were supposed to protect them? Even if a bodyguard goes through the motions of protecting someone who pays them, if they truly suck, I imagine most aren't willing to risk life or limb when the moment comes.

This is what I imagine at least, but I think it's valid.

>>44800571

>>44803296
>It's a beta fantasy that appeals to men with naive views about relationships and women, as well as the reality of what chivalry actually was

I don't know if this has dawned on you but the entire knightly ideal in fantasy is a beta male fantasy whether it has to deal with women or other arbitrary bullshit concepts like justice or honor. Each one is just as unrealistic and shallow as the other. Dying for the dirty peasants who have the memory span of gnats is really no different than dying for the Kardashian.

Really it's better just not to be a moralfag at all and just grab what you can from life with a bloody fist.

>>44783907

Besides, why would I want to serve some spoiled cunt when I could be out there exploring new worlds, learning new magics, dealing with new threats, and banging much better puss? Seriously

A beautiful, tender noble lady is important for any good knight. A man must navigate the brutal world of warfare with only his god and the sweet thought of his lady to temper his heart. Their purity and chastity remind the blood-soaked knight that there exists a foil to the barbarism he is forced to endure every day.

The proper lady is a symbol whose existence reminds a knight that the savagery he endures safeguards her pure and untainted heart.

Every time you see your "Kardashian" lady flitting from store to store whining about the insufficient luxury of her birthday presents or her ballgown, remember that she only does so because you have spared her the horror of watching a man's entrails slide from his split gut like wet snakes, from having to shove your dirk into the heart of a fallen warrior whose legs have broken under his horse, from the bloodsoaked murder you have dedicated your life to.

If all you want her for is to fuck her, you are no knight. Knighthood is a job. Fuck wenches on your own time, you perverted slackers.

Ballin' too hard.

I've always wanted to play in a mismatched Princess and her Escorts game.

Probably stems from FFX.

I just think the idea of some heavily-built strong knight who was trained since he was five having to be a like:

>"yes, this sweet tea is quite good m'lady."
>"Yes m'lady, the bouquet building challenge was quite fun."
>"No, m'lady, I am thoroughly enjoying helping you sew your own dress."

He's a voivode, you mongoloid. Prince or duke would have been acceptable, but not king.

At some point in time one of my family will have to track down the heir of John of Gaunt and then we must do battle.

it's probably more to do with that nobody at bethesda knows how to actually program or code a game properly combined with a fear of using any engine that isn't gamebryo

Actually, with courtly love most knights would be chasing after the wife of their liege lord. The daughter was off limits because she was well guarded as she was worth marrying off, but a lady had plenty of maids that could help her hide some illicit meetings and even a pregnancy. That is, assuming any knight ever got that far - it was always her choice.

>>44790624

Loved most of that, especially the part of the grumpy-as-hell knight helping the vampiric princess because he's essentially an uncle after protecting her for so long.

Didn't like the part with the anon suggesting the knight is secretly a vampire. It's not a bad idea, but I don't think it fits that well with the other parts of the writefagging.

In some rural areas, it wasn't uncommon for traveling knights to spend the night with one of the daughters of the castle. Europe is a big place, and the middle ages a long era, so you had all sorts of different customs depending on the time and place.

But you can anon! Dedicate your life to the service of our lady the queen of heaven and your reward shall be eternal. Not only is she indisputably the noblest of women, but there have to be hundreds of orders dedicated to her service.

They still are a thing, it's just that you can be knighted for the most retarded reasons. Uma Thurman got knighted in the Legion d'Honneur for being "a classical beauty". Napoleon must be so proud of his country.

Considering courtly love came about in a time where marriage was primarily a political/social/economic transaction, rule number one makes a lot of sense.

>>44836655

Why would a man at arms be given the duty of protecting a member of the royal family? If she was raised as a war maiden why hasn't she already formed her own retinue to follow her into battle?

>>44837946
Simple, actual knights are on the frontline trampling the peasant levies and I'm a pretty trustworthy guy. As for why she doesn't have her own retinue she doesn't have her own resources, just the family's they're not going to support this but want her protected all the same. We will operate as part of her uncle's retinue, but it will be my personal duty to protect her. Also nobody is going to follow a woman regardless of the high standing of her family. Furthermore, they're not royalty they're nobility there's a difference the common man doesn't understand.

Loyalty is only worth as much as who you're loyal too. A poor leader deserves no loyalty, a good one deserves your life. Loyalty as a concept was created so people wouldn't desert someone who could make a difference for someone with deeper pockets or bigger sticks.

Nawh m8. People can write and play things while at the same time noting that it wasn't like that in real life. Acting like those who play or write such characters are somehow lacking in judgement and must believe in what the characters do freakishly pretentious.
