I agree that the defining characteristic of a knightly order, as opposed to a band of mercenaries, is the presence of a goal. Therefore, I will move on to them and the most realistic options:
3. We serve our leader personally; he raised us from rags to knights, and we will rise even higher if he receives a title/land/or something else. This fits our leader perfectly, and the idea of knights serving a feudal lord is generally suitable. The question is only what the tasks will be and how it will all be presented.
4. We are actually, at heart, wandering knights, yearning for glory, and our master is quite the adventurer. We participate in various risky ventures (see the ship) in the hope of achieving what is mentioned in point 3, but also for everyone and on a much larger scale. We sail into the unknown, return in triumph, we have honor and a lot of gold, which is what most people initially joined the order for. Our order proudly ranks among the top 3 orders in Tiaral, we have achieved success, and everything is great. And the idea was actually to become pompous, true knights from a gathering of ragamuffins, and now we have everything we need. And the leader enjoys the acquired wealth and command of a full-fledged order, possibly even the first fully independent order on the continent.
All these goals need to be declared in such a way that they can be voiced to anyone who asks why we are actually getting involved in skirmishes, adventures, and sea voyages. Can you suggest any short and acceptable formulations?
Where do we go?
Where do we end up when we save the world?
