The Knight Errant is regarded across Faerun as the exemplary example of a disciplined, skilled, loyal soldier. Knights Errants develop uncanny skills relating to coordinating and leading soldiers. Most are fighters, rangers or paladins, but a few bards, clerics, and rogues have been known to become Knight Errants.
Many of the famed Purple Dragon Knights of Cormyr are Knight Errants.
Player characters that are knighted as Purple Dragons are almost universally Knights Errant, and as such are not a regular part of any military formations, though they remain in direct service to the Crown, and may be called upon at any time.
