Kota

on Dec. 17, 2007

I know what some of you are probably thinking. A red collar again?!
I'll admit it. I became infatuated with the idea back in Kota's World when I gave one to Lewis. I liked it so much I brought it back here. The meaning is different this time, of course. When a knight makes the transition to priest-hood he must wear a red collar. White being a symbol of purity, the knight is anything but. Even with the Redemption they are seen as "stained" by the church. Blood has been spilled by them. Hence the red collar.
Takewell was a knight for many years before being selected to head the South-Eastern division of the Order of St. George. He wasn't the most famous, but he was considered one of the most loyal and pure of them all. Now he over sees the Knights from South Carolina to Texas with varying degrees of success. While a friendly man and not prone to anger, his reach extends far and his influence is great. If Council of the Order could be said to have a leader, he would be it.
Okay, that's enough for me. More next time!
