Gavrion does not define a knight by armor, bloodline, or the number of enemies they can defeat. A knight is read through oath, service, witness, discipline, and the line placed in their care.
Form before spectacle. Service before prestige.

Atlas question
What remains standing because the knight did not leave?
Cultural spine
Honor must remain useful.
The oath gathers fear, breath, hand, posture, and duty into a form the knight must continue carrying after the ceremony ends. Prestige follows entrusted work: a line held, a route protected, a command carried, a place returned to order.
Hall and duel
Memory is institutional.
The Hall of Oaths confirms rank, appoints captains, restores form, and gives service witnesses. Controlled duels reveal restraint, posture, judgment, and what kind of oath a person can still carry under pressure.
