[edit] Knight-Errant Rank

The Dark UI is indicating to me that there is a "next rank" of Knight-Errant in this faction. Does it actually exist, and if so is it attainable? 74.69.245.119 04:52, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

Yes, there is a rank of Knight-Errant, and that is the rank held by all the NPC members of the faction (except for Pumpkin, the dog). Other than console cheats, there is no way for the player to obtain that rank. --Nephele^Talk 12:11, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Thorn Shield

I need a second opinion on whether or not the "Thorn Shield" should be included on the main page or not? It does relate to Knights of the Nine, but is actually only found in Shivering Isles. If the purpose of that section is to list new items introduced by KotN, then the Thorn Shield is inappropriate; if it's to list any items related to KotN, then it's fine. For now, I've reverted my own removal of it, pending further opinions. --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 18:51, 25 June 2008 (EDT)

Assuming by "Knights of the Nine" you mean "Knights of the Thorn" ;) I think the shield belongs on this list. We don't have a separate page devoted to the Knights of the Thorn in the Shivering namespace, and don't really need one to document a single person and a couple items. Adding the information to this page seems like the best way to organize the information. There are other examples where SI information has been added to Oblivion articles (e.g., Oblivion:Alchemy Effects), generally in cases where merging the SI and Oblivion information seems to be the most useful way to present the information.

Also, since the Knights of the Thorn are part of the original Oblivion content, the purpose of the page isn't to document items added by a mod. Rather it's just to document all of the information related to this faction. So I don't think that including SI items here introduces unnecessary confusion, as long as the items are tagged as being SI items. Towards that end, I've added SI superscripts to Pyke and his shield--although the Shivering Isles information was there before, the SI superscript is more consistent with how SI content has been flagged on other pages. --Nephele^Talk 19:41, 25 June 2008 (EDT)

Oh dear. I kept reading "Thorn" and thinking "Nine", and therefore associating it with the mod...silly gamemakers that don't account for my confusion! :) Either way, I like your solution of just adding the SI superscript. --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 11:25, 26 June 2008 (EDT)
