Guild Knighthood
Royal Order of the Rampant Unicorn
To reward our Members as well as others in the Faire Community, the Royal Order of the Rampant Unicorn was created for those deserving. The Order is governed by its Charter which outlines Ranks of the Order, the Officers and the manner in which knighthood is conferred.

Ranks of the Royal Order of the Rampant Unicorn
Cardinal Knight: Cardinal Knights are appointed at the sole discretion of the Grand Master. This honor is rare and is bestowed on those Knights who demonstrate extraordinary dedication and service, not only to the Order but to all Guild knightly orders. Cardinal Knights are tasked with assisting other Guild knighthoods in matters of ceremony, leadership, and service. Currently there are 7 active Cardinal Knights in California and our Membership hosts 4 of them.
​
Knight Grand Cross (KGC): The highest level of the Order, awarded for
exemplary service and leadership within the Guild and beyond. This honor is
bestowed by the Grand Master upon worthy Knights.
Knight: The backbone of the Order. A Knight is awarded this title upon
completing the Knighting Quest after a period of being squired. Knighthood
signifies full membership in the Order.
Squire: A title conferred after a vote of the Council in recognition of dedicated
service to the Guild. Squires embark on the path to knighthood and serve under a
Knight's guidance.
Page: The title awarded to children aged 5 and older. Pages learn the virtues of
knighthood and service under the guidance of Knights and Squires.
