Preceptors of the KEVII PoI are a select group of Knights who are among the most knowledgeable about our ritual. To become a KEVII Preceptor, a Knight must first perform the role of Marshal in strict accordance with the 'stage directions' that exist within the body of the ritual. Having achieved the necessary high standard, a Knight then takes the Preceptor's chair and performs the ceremony for the installation of a new Knight in a (near) perfect manner.
