White Knight



A White knight is a type of NPC found at the White Knights' Castle in Falador. The helmet's plume colour indicates the knight's level. The initiate knights (red plume) have 36 combat, the proselytes (yellow plume) have 38 combat, the acolytes (green plume) have 39 combat, and the partisans (blue plume) have 42 combat(the white knight in Burthrope has 36 combat). The partisans can hit up to 7 points of damage; all the lower classes can hit up to 6. They are also an unusually high level for being in a low/medium level player area. They are known to use crushing attacks, so a chainbody will work well against them.

The White Knights are arguably the most important political group in Asgarnia, as their leader, Sir Amik Varze, is the effective ruler of the kingdom, save Burthorpe. They have a long rivalry with the Black Knights, and more recently the Imperial Guard of Burthorpe. In general, they are said to stand against evil, being followers of Saradomin.

After completing the Recruitment Drive quest, players become members of the Temple Knights, an elite part of the White Knights' order. Completion of the Wanted! quest gives the player access to White Knight equipment once he or she has obtained a sufficient rank in the order. Curiously, players' ranks within the order are different from the ranks suggested by the various plume colours.

Drops
Different levelled knights drop different items. All levels drop bones. Players killing white knights in the white knight's castle after completing the Wanted! quest will lose favour among the white knights' order.

Trivia

 * Before the release of White metals, the White Knights used to wear Full Steel equipment.
 * Most of the White Knights have names that are a play on words. For instance, there is "Sir Vyvin" (surviving), "Sir Prysin" (surprising), "Sir Renitee" (serenity), Sir Amik Varze" (ceramic vase), "Sir Tiffy Cashien" (certification) and "Sir Vant" (servant).
 * There is a lone white knight standing outside of Burthorpe, the only area of Asgarnia controlled by the Imperial Guard rather than the White Knights. Players speaking to him learn that he is watching something, an indicator of another rivalry between the two factions.


 * When talking to Bob the Jagex Cat, the following dialogue can be triggered: "Well, those white knights are far more complicated than you might imagine. Not the 'goodie goodies' they claim to be. Just watch your back."
 * In Runescape Classic White Knights would wander all around Falador, not just around the White Knight's Castle
