Knight Orders are a group of ten knightly groups, spread across ten separate Regions during the events of The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. The Orders were aligned to a specific region, most often led by the region's ruler, or a highly influential noble.
Given their position as defenders of a region, Knight Orders rarely gave gold to their members as a reward. Instead, a member could expect a huge boost to their reputation by working for an Order.
Knight Orders[]
The Agent could only join one of the Orders during their time in the Iliac Bay, as an aside to their quest for Uriel Septim VII. When they did so they faced a choice of ten, representing ten influential regions across the Bay. Acceptance into any of the Orders would be based on their regional reputation, as well as their reputation within each Order itself.
The joinable Knight Orders in The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall are as follows:
Knights of City-States[]
Knights of the Dragon[]
The Knights of the Dragon were a famed Order, located within the Bay's capital and main region: Daggerfall.
Knights of the Moon[]
Protectors and warriors for the city and royal family of Sentinel.
Order of the Candle[]
The Order of the Candle, despite being among the youngest Orders during the events of Daggerfall, serve the Lords of Sentinel Vhosek and K'avar.
Knights of the Rose[]
The Knights of the Rose led the defence of the King of Wayrest, Eadwyre, during the events of Daggerfall.
Knights of Towns[]
Knights of the Flame[]
Anticlere relied upon the Knights of the Flame to uphold their honour, although the Order is led directly by Lord Flyte and his Lady.
Host of the Horn[]
Baron Shrike and the region of Lainlyn called upon the Host of the Horn for their protection, despite their mutually murky pasts.
Knights of the Owl[]
The region of Glenpoint relied on the Knights of the Owl for their protection, led by the region's Baron.
Order of the Raven[]
Dwynnen owed its very existence to the Order of the Raven, which famously led a subjugated Tamriel against the Camoran Usurper.
Knights of the Wheel[]
Considered the best knights in all Hammerfell during the events of Daggerfall, the Knights of the Wheel defended the region of Abibon-Gora and its rulers.

Joining a Knight Order[]
Joining one of the Knightly Orders is relatively simple. The Agent must find a local garrison and its recruiter and speak to them, creating the following conversation:
"Ah, Agent (Player name), your reputation precedes you. The Knights of the Dragon (Knightly Order) always has room for a skillful knight of high moral standing. I humbly ask that you join our ranks."
- Yes "Then consider yourself one of the ranks of the proud The Knights of the Dragon (Knightly Order). You shall begin as a Aspirant. Though your rank in The Knights of the Dragon (Knightly Order) is low in Daggerfall (City), our reputation will follow you. Do not be surprised when you learn that no Daggerfall (City) innkeep will charge you for a room. It is an honor paid to all The Knights of the Dragon (Knightly Order)."
- No
After refusing to join an Order, one cannot join that Order again.
Trivia[]
- There is a universal Faction for Knight Orders, as well as subdivisions for each individual Order.
- Despite being an overtly militaristic organization, none of the Orders can offer the Agent training.
