Everything below is for the omnissiah. But like, you can read it if you want. Just a synopsis of the video you're watching. 

In this episode, we cover the Imperial Knights within the Warhammer 40k universe. These towering bipedal engines of war hail from feudal worlds known as Knight Worlds with each Knight being piloted by a Noble on the Throne Mechanicum. With Knights sworn to the Emperor being known as Questor Imperialis and those to the Omnissiah as Questor Mechanicus. Operated from Knight Households or Questoris Familia, these Knights are piloted by Knight Scions.

The history of Imperial Knights dates back to the Dark Age of Technology, with colonization ships reaching their pre-chosen worlds and facing lethal wildlife or hostile conditions. The first Knight suits, created by STC machines, were designed to defend against predators and hostile Xenos. Over time, a feudal system formed, with those protected by the Knights becoming vassals to their masters.

During the Age of Strife, Mars sent expeditions to find remnants of human knowledge, leading to the discovery of Knight Worlds. These worlds, ruled by aristocratic nobles, welcomed the Tech-priests as saviors. The Tech-priests traded with these worlds, providing technical expertise and rebuilding assistance in exchange for manpower and security against enemies like Orks and Eldar Exodites.

Knight Worlds operate under a strict feudal system, typically sworn to either the Adeptus Terra or Adeptus Mechanicus. Each world is led by Knight Houses, made up of Nobles who pilot Knight suits into battle. To become a Knight Pilot, one must undergo the Ritual of Becoming. Knight Houses sworn to the Adeptus Terra are led by a High Monarch, with Barons ruling fiefs of territory. Knight Houses sworn to the Adeptus Mechanicus often accompany the Collegia Titanica or defend key Forge Worlds.

Knight armour comes in various forms, with common types being the Knight Paladin and Knight Errant, both using the same basic body form but fitted with different weapons arrays. All Imperial Knights are protected by thick adamantium armour and Ion Shields. Other types of Knight armour include the Crusader, Castellan, and Lancer, each suited for specific roles in warfare.

In this episode I try to cover all the comprehensive details of the Imperial Knights, including their history, society, types of Knights, Knight armour, and notable Knight Scions. It provides an in-depth look into the world of Imperial Knights, their role in the Warhammer 40k universe, and their significance in the lore and gameplay. While also having a dash of humor whenever possible.
