The Grand Hoboknight Order
We are the Hoboknights!
Since the early days of beta, we have rocked the US Warband scene. Our influence has since spread across the globe, and we have become a Warband phenomenon both on the servers and these forums. Who does not know the Hoboknights, with their quirky antics, ragged outfits, full helms and fun-loving spirit? We are an icon!
We are not your typical gaming clan. We are above your petty disputes, greed for more members and SRS BSNS. We do not succumb to your obsession with winning and competitive ferocity. We have attained enlightenment in that we play games for that elusive reason which the gaming world seems to have forsaken; that is, fun! We've been known to participate in the occasional clan match or community event, but though we boast some of the best players in the community, our aim is always enjoyment.
The Hoboknights are a social group. We do not take recruitment lightly. While other clans may seek to swell their reputation by swelling their numbers, we are wiser, and jealously guard the close-knit familiarity between our members. We do not allow people into our ranks unless they have invested time into getting to know us and learned to respect our values.
The Hoboknights were founded by our beloved Hoboduke Gabeed. He is solely responsible for every ideal that makes us stand apart. He has since retired to pursue the leadings of his whims, but we will remain forever grateful to him for what he has created. Through all the growing pains our order has experienced down the line, the principles which he instilled in us have remained unscathed.
I am Scipio the Scholar, Grand Master of the Hoboknight Order, the first man ever to take up the Hoboknight mantle under our Hoboduke. With the help of Pawncakes the Hobochampion, the third in our founding triumvirate, I hope to lead us on to further glories until we have fully taken our rightful place in Warband lore as the clan which was above all other clans.

Hobocreed
These are the reverend words by which every true Hoboknight lives, breathes, speaks, walks, acts, and fights.
A Hoboknight is carefree, yet controlled.
A Hoboknight is proud, yet not arrogant.
A Hoboknight is humble, yet not lowly.
A Hoboknight is respectful, yet not condoning.
A Hoboknight is honest, yet not insulting.
A Hoboknight is above all others, yet below.
A Hoboknight is bound, yet free.
If any among you willfully contradict these ideals, let the base cur be cast out in shame.

Grand Master Hoboknight
I, Grand Master of the Hoboknight Order, am the highest voice of decision in the clan. Only I may amend the structure or policies of the clan. I bestow promotions upon those who are worthy, and I may even bestow new titles upon those who distinguish themselves.
Grand Hoboknight Champion
My Grand Champion is the defender of my honor, and marshal in our military endeavors. He has shown himself time and again to be not only formidable in battle but also valiant and chivalrous in nature. He oversees preparation for battle, lays down challenges to our rivals, and leads us in combat. He may induct new squires into our order, and honored indeed are those who he so honors. His voice is law even over the Grand Hoboknights.
Hobopaladin/Grand Hoboknight
There are many smaller orders enveloped within the Hoboknights, each of them led by a Grand Hoboknight known as a Hobopaladin who embodies the ideals and principles for which we stand. They are appointed by me, and I would and do entrust them with the very leadership of my order in my absence, for they are given the power to do whatever they will, save alter this document with which I present you or appoint another to their number. They may channel their own revelations of the Hobocreed into the ideals of the sub-order which they name and lead.
Hoboknight
The Hoboknight is a fully-entitled member of our order. When a squire is found loyal and worthy, he is raised to knighthood by a paladin, the champion, or even the grand master. He is a free man within the guidelines of the Hobocreed, and has the right to sit in and speak up at council meetings. If any of the lesser creeds written by our paladins strike his heart true, he may join himself to the related sub-order. In battle and in everyday conduct, the Hoboknights are the true voice of the Hobocreed.
Hobosquire
The right to induct new members into our order is reserved by the Grand Master, his champion, and the paladins, who may only have a single squire at a time. They are not yet entrusted with the full responsibility of knighthood, and may not attend council sessions. They are second to the knights in battle, and are only called upon to fight if the situation requires it.
This is the structure of our knightly order as set down by Scipio, Grand Master of the Hoboknight Order, under review of the Hoboknight Council, and it is to be honored until amended by him or his successor.
