Knight 101

The oath is the thing. Everything else is just the armor.

This course explores the Knight archetype in BDSM: the submissive who serves from a place of honor rather than diminishment, whose pledge is freely given to someone found worthy, and whose service is an expression of their highest values. You will learn what makes this role distinct from other forms of service submission, how to develop the character and the commitment the role requires, and how to build the kind of dynamic where sworn service deepens over time.
