Knight-Champion (Stormwind)

Although not necessarily classified as a military rank in the Stormwind Army, the title of Knight-Champion is given to only the most exemplary of Knights. The Knights granted this title are typically Captains who have proved to be prime examples of the essence of Knighthood. The title cannot be purchased unlike the rank of Knight, and requires both a lengthy and impressive service history within Stormwind's forces.

The Knights that have attained the title of Knight-Champion and continue thier military career are sometimes eligible to become a Commander, who are responsible for serving under the Marshals and answer to Alliance High Command. Commanders lead forces of a few hundred, typically commanding a specific group within a larger Regiment.

It is important to note that while many Knights granted the title of Knight-Champion are members of the Stormwind Peerage, it is not always required of the Knight to originate from noble birth, although being of noble birth makes it substantially easier to achieve the rank. Non-human Knight-Champions were once rare in the Grand Alliance, but are becoming more prevalent as Stormwind City continues to develop into a multi-cultural metropolis.

Knight-Champions are only recognized within the ranks of Stormwind's forces.
