Are you at loose end? Need to do something, but not sure what, not quite
ready to settle down, yet not wanting to put your well trained nobles in
the line of unnecessary fire?
    Well then we want you!
        Do the Right thing, Serve your Land!!!!
            The Royal Knights of Olympia are now recruiting in and
around all major cities. Due to an overwhelming demand for services, we
are accepting applications from all trained nobles, i.e. construction,
combat, beast master (bonus), Miners. Great Benefits, Towers, Temples,
Inns, what you need. Good solid negotiating power teamed with honor,
will make your future a bright one!
                    We are not just looking for factions, we do accept
individual Nobles to the Cause.
