- **Type:** Trainee Paladins
- **Status:** In training beneath a designated Captain or Knight
- **Role:** Perform foundational duties, train relentlessly, and prepare for full knighthood
**Reporting Structure:**
- Every squire is assigned directly to one Captain or one Full Knight.
- Most squires report to the *Training & Discipline* Captain [[Aeris Coinflare]], who oversees their daily regimen.
- Specialized squires may be placed under:
- [[Therona Eldwynair]] for monster-hunting training
- [[Thorrin Embergaunt]] for expeditionary combat
- [[Lyselle Dawnsworn]] for law and diplomacy apprenticeship
- [[Sir Zavian Brannock]] for town guard training and civil service
- A handful of older squires shadow non-combat roles (armory, logistics) to round out their education.
**Duties & Expectations:**
- Maintain equipment and stables
- Assist knights in field preparations
- Attend daily drills at [[The Openfield Grounds]]
- Study law, history, and Tymoran doctrine
- Observe (*but rarely participate in*) major missions
- Serve rotating shifts at [[The Ironpost Barracks]]
**Progression:**
A squire typically trains for 3–5 years, earning knighthood only when:
- Their captain or knight-mentor vouches for their courage and readiness
- [[Saelar Quinnlight]] blesses their oath
- Highblade [[Vaela Sunsong]] gives final approval
