—In-game description, The Blazing Blade
The Knight Crest is a promotional item that recurs across the Fire Emblem Series, permitting knight units Level 10 and above to promote into the second tier of their respective class lines. The Knight Crest promotes Cavaliers into Paladins, and Knights into Generals.
In the English localization of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, the Knight Crest was christened the Paladin's Honor, likely to avoid confusing association with the armored Knight class, as this early version solely promoted cavaliers into paladins.
In Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, Knight Crests are known as Knight Proofs, and are used to indiscriminately promote all units of Level 10 and above, except those with event-based promotions.
In Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, the branching promotion system allows the various knight units to promote into alternate classes. In this regard, both Cavaliers and Knights can be promoted into Great Knights.
