CLOSED ♔ knighting ceremonies

[wynn]

WHO || Wynn, Dovan, Koraith, Hasmed, Lis'sa, Solace, graduating squires, various members of the Knighthood, invited guests [closed]
WHAT || Full Knighting ceremonies for various squires
WHERE || Knight's Headquarters, the Great Hall
WHEN || Late September BACKDATED
HOW || Actionspam

Unlike the grandiose nature of the squiring ceremony each Knight undergoes upon their initial entrance into the Knighthood, the graduation to Full Knight status takes place in a much more intimate affair, between the Knight, their mentor, invited friends, and the members of the sect to which they will be inducted. There's no pompous music, no stolid rank and file, no elaborate march.

The Knight's new section head, Wynn, and their mentor Knight wait up at the front of the room for their approach, but the attitude of the ceremony is much more relaxed, full of smiles and light conversation on all sides. Of course, when Wynn speaks, people still hush. It's just how he rolls.

"Please kneel."


((Given the large amount of promotions occurring, we will not be doing individual posts/parties for each.  Instead, please there are top comments on this post for each section's ceremonies, and each section's parties.  Feel free to make Drakenet posts or plurks establishing your character's invited guests, and tagging into as much as you would like/handwaving as much as you'd like.))

Those are the sort of exams I'm speaking of.

[Whatever England's equivalent of a GED is. Idk.]

With all types of people coming in with varying levels of knowledge, we can hardly expect every scholar to start from the very beginning. There are tests that confirm what you've retained from the studies you've had and can help you fill in any spots that might be lacking. Not that I imagine you'll have many of those.

Thank you. [ A genuine, flattered smile lights on her face and she tilts her head slightly as she agrees. ] I'm sure you're right. [ What is modesty? ]

I would also be willing to write a letter of recommendation if you would like. Since coming through the Veil, I have picked a few more degrees, and my doctorates have never been questioned in a scholarly setting.

[immuno]

I'll take you up on that once I've looked over the application.

Very good. And until then, there's much to celebrate. [Such a proud mentor. Look at her baby bird all grown up. Even if the baby bird was like already out of the nest before she even showed up, practically. Whatever.]
