The Chivalric Code is the code that The Knights followed.[1]
Overview[]
The Chivalric Code is a talking sentient entity that is shaped like a diamond and emits a very bright light.[2] It is the will to protect the world itself. A collection of great powers that have existed since the birth of the Knights. By borrowing the accumulated mana in the Chivalric Code, Knights are able to gain strong powers.[2]
It is located in the portal that leads to the Land of the Knights.[2] It communicates with candidates that have gone through the Path of Trials and gifts the new Apprentice Knight both the Inventory skill and the Gacha of the Knights.[2] It appears to be able to read the heart of the Apprentice Knights as it told Ash that he would be able to discover his past as he walked the path of a knight.[2]
The Chivalric Code is able to see the past, present and future of the Apprentice Knights and gifts them the Gacha of the Knights and Inventory skill are a gift for passing through the Path of Trials.[2] It is the Chivalric Code that decides the suitable Apprentice Knight's Weapon for each apprentice knight based on each of their individual aptitudes.[3]
It is through the Pendant of the Knight that Knights are able to use the Chivalric Code's power.[4]

Translation Notes[]
기사도 is the Korean form of the hanja 騎士道, which literally means "Chivalric Code; Chivalry Code; Chivalry; Code of Chivalry". It is sometimes written as "the Knight's Code of Chivalry" or "the Knight's Honor Code of Chivalry".
So 기사도 can be translated as Chivalry, Chivalric Code or Code of Chivalry. It can possibly be translated as Knight's Code of Honour as it is a Knight's ethical code, but that is not the literal meaning.
LINE WEBTOON translates it as The Code of Chivalry in X Ash Episode 1 and Chivalry.

Notes & Trivia[]
- The Chivalric Code was first mentioned by Full Moon Ryu in X Ash Episode 1. It was first seen in X Ash Episode 10.
- Chivalry, or the chivalric code, is an informal and varying code of conduct developed between 1170 and 1220. It was associated with the medieval Christian institution of knighthood; knights' and gentlemen's behaviours were governed by chivalrous social codes. The ideals of chivalry were popularized in medieval literature, particularly the literary cycles known as the Matter of France, relating to the legendary companions of Charlemagne and his men-at-arms, the paladins, and the Matter of Britain, informed by Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, written in the 1130s, which popularized the legend of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table. All of these were taken as historically accurate until the beginnings of modern scholarship in the 19th century
