  The Order of the Silk Garter is a small order of knights dedicated to the protection and 
  defence of the Archbaroness as opposed to the defence of the nation as a whole.  Also known 
  as the Knights of the Silk or the Silk Knights, these men and women serve as champions and 
  bodyguards, protecting the Baroness from both physical harm and insults to her honour. 
  The symbol for the Order is a blue garter embroider with a white rose and the arms 
  are Vert, a rose Argent, chief Azure (Green with a white rose and a blue band at the top). 
  Squire is the entry level for the Order of the Silk Garter.  Considered Knights in 
  training, the squires are expected up uphold the values and traditions of the Order and prove 
  themselves worthy of knighthood.  Due to competition for the two knighthoods awarded in 
  this order each year, it is not unknown for aspirants to remain squires for many years.
