Knight High Warden

''"I am the Knight High Warden. I do not serve for my own good, nor any King or Lord of Men, but Men themselves. Every Man, Woman and Child is under my protection, and I bear this burden wilfully and eternally." ''-Kevading Strongfist, 749th Knight High Warden.

The Knight High warden is appointed jointly by both the King of Ceorlund and the King of Amelund to serve until death as the leader of The Order of Wardens. The Knight to be appointed may refuse, but the honour of living the remainder of one's life and dying as Knight High Warden is far too great for many. Of 809 Knights chosen for the post, only 3 have refused. None in the last 10,000 years.

He commands both the Ceorlund and Amelund Division of The Order of Wardens, with 6 March-Wardens under his command. After his appointment he takes an oath, and thenceforward answers to no one except himself. The Knight High Warden is the supreme and absolute commander of all in The Order of Wardens. This large amount of power has made the Knight High Warden and his order at odds with kings throughout the millenia, some kings even having the audacity to go to war with The Order of Wardens - effectively going to war with the protectors of Mankind. Needless to say, this has never gone well.
