Hear ye, hear ye! Our royals have assembled their army of lovely, loyal knights, all here at last swearing binding oaths to Sword Cross'd: The Life and Love of Knights—thank them for their service and the royals will reward you with previews of their valiant quests!

Preparation is key prior to riding into battle: plan your purchase ahead of our pre-orders opening on August 24th with our bundle comparison below! #knights #zinepreorders #atozines #medieval

Training is very important for new knights, so @cuartosol.bsky.social was sent to the stocks after forgetting to pick up their lance after a mock battle. Luckily, they were drawing knights at the time, so they're all forgiven!

Taming giant sea beasts is no easy feat, so it's no wonder @catzero.bsky.social was knighted for making friends with one! Sure, the beast sunk a few ships and destroyed the coast, but the only ship that matters is their friendship... right?

Our knights have been hard at work fighting deadlines—news might travel slowly from the battlefield, but this special sneak peek from check-in 1 made it home at last, safe and sound (and covered in only a little enemy blood)! #knightzine #knights #medieval #arthuriana

Gentlefolk of the land, hide your suits of armour! Page Artist @foslo.bsky.social has a weakness for plate armour and was put in the stocks when she was caught clanking out of the local armourer without paying.

We support peace, so our Knights support regents across lands: expect to see many familiar faces defending My Liege, a Queer Knights Artbook, run by @damesprod.bsky.social and @novamali.bsky.social! You only have until Thursday to swear loyalty to their Kickstarter. Hurry!

We support women's rights AND wrongs. That's why we freed Writer @WillfulAbyss.bsky.social from the stocks—as far as we're concerned, she's not too darned feminist for the times and definitely not a "nuisance"!

Firmly grasping her pen in one hand and her favourite weapon the katar in the other is Page Artist @kimsokol.bsky.social! Kim's work balances embellished details with symbolism and striking poses to create beautiful art.

Championing the cause of the common people is Page Artist Mochiwei, who we rescued from the stocks after she booed the Duke for raising taxes during an unseasonable drought!

Page Artist @nikruuu.bsky.social was knighted for being a little above average at everything she does. Unfortunately that also includes being sentimental, which is what led her to be thrown in the stocks!

The classics are classic for a reason: Page Artist @riotbones.bsky.social's favourite weapon is a good sword. While he thinks they're basic, we think there's something special about them—and his art!

While tales are told of their prowess on the battlefield, all fall silent when Page Artist @arcanegold.bsky.social sings their rendition of My Heart Will Go On! Their angelic voice pulled enough heartstrings to earn them a knighthood.

Page Artist @d-indy.bsky.social would need a castle's armoury to store all of her favourite weapons! We'll get her kitted out with a burgonet helmet and all the swords she could want before we send her on a quest.

Some crimes can never be forgiven, no matter how many hours you spend in the stocks. Luckily Page Artist @morlevart.bsky.social's next quest will redeem them for their previous sin of asking for a bite of food after they said they weren't hungry!

When you can't beat them, join them—in holy matrimony! Page Artist Jong Yi knew better than to fight the dragon and chose to marry it instead. She was later knighted for her bravery.

Get you a Page Artist who can slay on the battlefield and the tourney circuit! @pictheas.bsky.social's serving looks in his frogmouth helm for maximum protection during the joust, and in a hounskull bascinet for the battlefield!

Sometimes it's not what you know, but who. Page Artist @dreamu.bsky.social was gifted a knighthood by her friends during a visit to an establishment called Medieval Times!

Spot artist @mortiscausa.bsky.social was knighted for her goodly service to her feline lord, whose piteous meows do haunt her waking hours. If only she could convince him that there is food already in thy bowl!

Merch Artist @pokkibon.bsky.social was knighted for their noble deeds: saving 500 kittens from trees and 300 fair ladies from burning buildings. We've heard rumours that these deeds are exaggerated, but their merch is so cute we're willing to look the other way!
