Dagon'hai Knight

"I am free from the chains and hypocrisy of Saradomin as I vow to devote my life to countering his evils in as many ways as possible. I accept that violence against the wicked as my way of life, and I accept the grief and trial it will bring. May I bring glory to the holy name of Zamorak."

- The oath taken during the Knighting Ceremony

Knights of the Dagon'hai were soldiers in Zarok's army who were honored by the Dagon'hai order. Knighthood was among the highest titles a warrior could receive, second only to Lordship. Knights would be referred to by their inferiors, depending on their gender, as "Sir" or "Madam" followed by their name.

Knighting Ceremony
After the oath is taken, the presiding Priest will give the Knight a long blessing, which will give them strength, skill, and reflexes from Zamorak. This blessing is consummated when a permanent scar is branded in the palm of the Knight's left hand with a hot iron. This scar is in the shape of the Dagon'hai order. The branding is to symbolize that with greater power comes greater responsibility and greater commitment to Zamorak.

Knight Regalia
"No, I'm always very respectful towards her, she's a knight. To be honest, I'm actually afraid of her."

During battle, knights would wear shiny, red-trimmed, blackened Dragon armour with the logo of the Dagon'hai on the chest. Before battle, they would normally were a black cloak with a red trim which they most often would remove before the battle, as it would restrict their agility. They were considered to be a terrifying sight; even most warriors on their own side preferred to stay out of their way.

Prerequisites
Contrary to many beliefs, combat prowess was not a big factor in determining knighthood. In fact, "above average" was satisfactory for a knight when it came to combat ability. However, only those who were very devout in the ways of Zamorak, and those with a great understanding of his ways would be eligible to become a knight. A knight must understand pain, both physical and emotional, and they must go through great trial to become a knight; trial that would make pain familiar to them.
