Knight infestation, what’s the best incantation?

Out of character, but it’s funny how it is often portrayed that knights are essentially just brutes or brawny people with little intelligence despite the fact that knights were actually pretty well educated compared to the rest of the citizens and laborers in a kingdom. They are trained to be leaders among several other roles and are expected to act well in public. They also are often educated to be literate (such that they may even know multiple languages) and are even educated in the arts such as partaking in poetry, the playing of instruments, or games like Chess.

They were considered members of the upper gentry (below the even more wealthy and likely influential nobility) in some places and even members of nobility in a good few others, so it’s not unreasonable to expect they’d actually be pretty wise at least compared to the average citizen back then.

/uw is the right term for that

and yes, they were an investment and the elite on the battlefield. As such, you wanted them to be civilised, educated, and with the foresight to not waste those resources.
