It also says the same thing about the Rokari. The Western Freeform interpreted this as Loskalmi and Seshnegi missionaries having crossed the Ocean and converted some people there rather than the Sedalpists (who are not mentioned there) as being Idealists.
While this is probably the wrong forum, the concept of Knights in Malkioni Society and Idealism are actually two separate issues (in that a creed could adhere to one issue and deny the other).

Knight is correct as it is. Rokar proved that when Hrestol instituted the caste of Knights, he was really only redefining the Soldier Caste and the Loskalmi Church has been unable to refute this argument.
