Page

  • The Path of the Page - First Steps into Knighthood

    At STEED, becoming a Page marks the beginning of a profound journey into self-mastery and service. This ancient tradition, open to both men and women, represents more than just skill acquisition—it's a commitment to personal growth and community enrichment.

    As a Page, you'll embark on a path that weaves together:

    • Regular training in core medieval arts and martial skills

    • Monthly community service alongside fellow STEED members (once a month)

    • Practice of random acts of kindness in daily life

    The Page's journey extends beyond our training grounds, encouraging growth in both skill and spirit. By participating in community service and fostering kindness, Pages demonstrate their dedication to STEED's core mission: the cultivation of self-mastery in service to humanity.

    This initial step into knighthood isn't merely about learning—it's about evolving. Through consistent practice, community engagement, and mindful action, Pages begin to embody the timeless virtues of knighthood while developing tangible skills that will serve them throughout their journey.

    For those ready to commit to regular training and embrace our philosophy of service, the Path of the Page awaits.

Squire

  • The Path of the Squire - Advancing in Knighthood

    Attaining the rank of Squire represents a significant milestone in one's journey, open to all who demonstrate mastery of core knightly skills. This elevation marks not just technical proficiency, but the beginning of a deeper commitment to leadership and service.

    A Squire's path encompasses advanced martial disciplines:

    • Mounted combat arts: archery, swordsmanship, and polearm

    • Advanced horsemanship: dressage and jumping

    • Historical crafts: blacksmithing and chain mailing

    • Specialized skills: weapon throwing and tactical mounted maneuvers

    Beyond these martial accomplishments, Squires embrace the role of mentor and guide. They share their knowledge by assisting during training sessions and, under knightly supervision, may begin teaching others. This mentorship, combined with monthly community service, cultivates the essential virtues of responsibility, leadership, and gallantry.

    The Squire's journey transforms technical mastery into something greater—the ability to guide and inspire others while continuing their own path toward knighthood. It is here that skill meets service, and the foundations of true gallantry take root.

    For those who have mastered the basics and yearn to deepen both their abilities and their impact, the Path of the Squire beckons.

Knight

  • The Path of Knighthood - Mastery Through Service

    Attaining Knighthood represents the culmination of a profound journey—one that transcends mere skill mastery to embrace the true essence of leadership and service. This distinguished rank is earned not simply through personal achievement, but through the successful guidance of others along their own paths from Page to Squire.

    A Knight's mastery encompasses both martial excellence and cultural refinement:

    • Advanced mounted combat: archery, swordsmanship, and polearm mastery

    • Superior horsemanship: advanced dressage and jumping

    • Refined craftsmanship: intermediate blacksmithing and complex chain mailing

    • Cultural arts: dancing, poetry, and public speaking

    • Inner development: mindfulness and spiritual growth

    Knights stand as living examples of STEED's highest ideals, actively shaping the next generation through teaching and mentorship. Beyond monthly community service, they bear the responsibility of nurturing growth in others—from Pages to Squires—while continuing their own journey toward Master Knight status.

    The path of Knighthood beckons to those who aspire to become more than skilled practitioners—they become mentors, teachers, and guides whose experience and wisdom inspire growth in others. At this level of mastery, Knights discover that their greatest achievement isn't in the skills they've perfected, but in their ability to nurture potential in those around them. To become a Knight is to join a tradition of leaders who honor the past while guiding others toward their own path of excellence.

    For those who seek not just to master skills but to embody the timeless virtues of knighthood, this path offers the ultimate challenge and reward.
