Rycerz

Each Moarvik clan was expected to support the Piast with a force of armored mounted warriors he could call upon as needed, the Rycerz. These chevaliers spent much of their effort in proving to the Prince (Piast) their worthiness. They often held contests to prove their skill in battle. Over time a code of chivalric tradition arose from these early knights. A warrior’s greatness was primarily measured by his skill in battle. Noble warriors challenged each other to single-combat in a test called the Chezivor (battle of honor).
