What it does
Create a 1/1 white Knight creature token with banding. (Any creatures with banding, and up to one without, can attack in a band. Bands are blocked as a group. If any creatures with banding you control are blocking or being blocked by a creature, you divide that creature's combat damage, not its controller, among any of the creatures it's being blocked by or is blocking.)
"May they speed to their task, for the Skyknights alone cannot hold Kjeldor safe."— Arna Kennerüd, Skycaptain

Where it came from
Errand of Duty was released in the 1996 Magic: The Gathering expansion set Alliances. The set is notable for its grim, war-torn thematic backdrop and its role in rebalancing the game's competitive environment following the power-level volatility of previous releases. As a white enchantment, the card reflects the set's focus on structured, tactical utility, allowing players to create a Knight token at the cost of sacrificing a land.
The card features artwork by Margaret Organ-Kean, who contributed several pieces to the Alliances set. Her illustrative style during this period often utilized a classical, painterly aesthetic that grounded the fantasy elements of the game in a sense of historical realism. While the card is often remembered for its mechanical interaction with land sacrifice cycles present in Alliances, it remains a modest example of the distinct visual identity that defined mid-nineties Magic expansions.
