EKC Rank Structure

 

The EKC is a Brother/Sisterhood. All those who reach the rank of Eternal Knight are considered equals within the guild. Only the King and Queen hold absolute authority over the guild. Only in their absence may the Regents wield that same authority. Those of a rank higher than Eternal Knight, other than the King or Queen only supercede the other knights in their particular section, division, or office. 

When a member steps down from an office, he or she will return to the rank of Eternal Knight.

The Basic EKotC ranks are as follows:

King and Queen Co-leaders and Rulers of the EKC
Regent Acting for the King and Queen in their absence with full authority.
Duke/Duchess Supervises and guides the Baron's in the fulfilment of their duties.
Baron/Baroness Commands an EKC Division (or subsection) under the terms of the Baron's or Section's Charter.
Knight Captain Assists the Baron/ess.
