Chivalry 2: Agatha or Mason?

Before you start to tear your hair out over which of the two sides in Chivalry to join, you should know that this choice is purely cosmetic and makes no difference to the fighting itself.

You can choose either Agatha or Mason at the beginning of every match, and you can also switch sides after you die, as long as the balance of players allows it. If you join the Agatha Knights, you and your teammates will be wearing blue. If you join the Mason Order, you and your allies will be clad in red. You may also have different voice lines, insults, and so on. That’s really where the differences end, so you may as well ask yourself: do you prefer the colour red or the colour blue?

However, there’s also the roleplay element and the lore to consider. In the world of Chivalry, the Agatha Knights and the Mason Order have very different roots and stories. So if you do care about the lore, you might want to consider reading a little about both sides below to figure out where you belong.
