A squire is a mortal man or woman that has been found worthy to be a minion of Myrkul. They enter into the guild with an established UnDead Lord as mentor whom teaches the squire the dark ways of Myrkul.

If upon being deemed unfit for knighthood at that time, both they and their mentor will receive a letter with the reason. A review will occur the following month on the 15th.

A squire will never attack or kill an officer or knight.

Transition to Knight:
If all the rules have been followed, then a meeting of the Inner Circle will be held. The meeting will determine whether the squire is in fact worthy of attaining the rank of knight and a guild title. If the Inner Circle deems the squire is worthy then a rite of death shall proceed.

During the Rite of Death, the High Priest/Priestess will recite the passage of Ascension and the squire will avow his faithfulness to Myrkul. At that time the Arch Lich will prepare the alter, then summon the squire to him. The squire will then offer his worthless body and soul as a sacrifice to Myrkul. Upon the death of the squire, the High Priest/Priestess will incant the Resurrection spell and raise the body of the squire, now a knight of Myrkul.

The new knight having selected a guild title/surname will then be called forth as such by the High Priest/Priestess and then go forth on a quest to bring Souls to Myrkul's altar in thanks in becoming an UnDead Lord.
