A knight's class is determined by the weapon in which the knight is wielding. Knights can change classes at anytime but are required to re-learn the different weapon skills each time they switch.
CHAMPION

It is said that a Champion of an Order is the highest standing a Knight can achieve.
CRUSADER
Dual Swords, Axes, or Hammers
Crusaders have no fear and will fight until their last breath. Dual wielding axes, blades or hammers, a Crusader feasts on the blood of their enemy.
