The Peerage

The Peerage, is a division within the Brotherhood of Disciples that compromises of the Sovereign Order's knights and paladins. Those that serve the Peerage are represented as beings of virtue, willing to defend the innocent and undo the Order's opposition.

Like all in the Brotherhood, those in the Peerage have a strong connection and devotion to the Holy Light.

Organization
The Golden Eagle's knights and templars are members of the Peerage, which serves as the militant arm of the Brotherhood of Disciples, and as a major force against those that threaten the Sovereign Order. As such, the Peerage operates itself under the Grand Master.

The Peerage draws inspiration from the old ideals of the Silver Hand, and other knightly orders throughout Azeroth.

Hierarchy
The Peerage is generally organized under a specific hierarchy:
 * Grand Master - Absolute leader of the Peerage.
 * Commendator - Officer and second-in-command of the Peerage.
 * Order Templar - Elites of the Peerage.
 * Order Knight - Ordained members.
 * Knight Elect - Disciples who aspire to join the Peerage and have yet to undertake the three trials.

Trials of the Knight Elects
Disciples who seek to join the Peerage are required to complete three trials.

Trial of Will
The elect is instructed by their betters to venture on a pilgrimage to a holy site. The elect must remain in their robes as they journey and must abstain from using any luxuries such as mounts to get to their destination. At times aspirants can receive certain visions of the holy knight Cassius Palenix throughout their pilgrimage, but these experiences tend to vary.

Trial of Fortitude
The prospect is to receive a quest from their mentor to cleanse or eliminate the source of evil from a certain area. These challenges may vary from one prospect to another, but it is meant to be a test of strength as the Peerage must stand strong against darkness.

Trial of Faith
The Trial of Faith is the final trial and must always be taken last. The prospect is to remain at a chapel or holy site to meditate for an entire day in preparation for their anointment ceremony. Once their ceremony comes they must have already memorized understood the vows of faith.
