Do you have what it takes to be an Honorable Templar Knight? Want a good alliance? Try TTK, you'll be among the best. We are a strong alliance with well over 100 members, and great relations with many other alliances. We strive to live the chivalrous life - offering our members protection, aid, and brotherhood; for we aren't just an alliance, we are a family. We know how to take care of our own.

What does The Templar Knights have to offer, you may ask? Well, as a large alliance, we have a large amount to offer. We offer a well established Bank Program that will hand out loans to any nation weak or strong to help you grow to your fullest potential. TTK also offers a vast amount of Tech Sellers as well as a great Aiding system. TTK also holds an Academy for newer and older members of CN. Our members are friendly and will help with any task you may seek. TTK has many positions within its government for which you may run. If you wish to serve and protect the great name of The Templar Knights, we offer Divisions within your Strength Range that you may join. TTK also offers many Contests that hold many rewards. This is just a small amount of what we offer as a alliance.

As a large alliance we still wish to grow peacefully, and as such we do not tolerate any unjust attacks by or on our members. That said, if provoked, we will defend those in need with great honor. We do not judge people in The Templar Knights. We welcome any member of planet bob, no matter what your past may have held. When you become a Templar Knight your past is forgotten and your future begins.

Charter of The Templar Knights

I. Introduction

A.) The undersigned nations, in pursuit of peace and the right to flourish, have sworn to defend each other and our sovereignty from outside aggression. We bind ourselves to the Knight Code, and will act according to its precepts.

B.) The Knights’ Oath:

I, *insert name*, as a Knight Templar, hereby solemnly swear to act at all times with the utmost of honour, towards both ally and enemy, I will not flame nor insult my brother knights nor any other member of Cybernations, be they friend or foe. I shall wage war only in defence of my brother knights, or in retaliation to those that strike me first, in the defence of my brother knights I shall not quail but instead shall stand tall and fight with all my might to aid my brother. I shall declare my neutrality, in the name of The Templar Knights, against all happenings and hostilities, unless it is directed towards our alliance in any form or is necessary for the future of The Templar Knights. Finally I shall realize that the welfare of The Templar Knights is my first priority, coming before the welfare of any individual members, including myself. If I fail in my duty to uphold this oath, I render myself open to the wisdom of the Elder Council in deciding my fate.
