The Dark Knights of Baron

Powerful Soldiers who use their stamina to summon the power of darkness

Currently the most elite caste of warriors within the army of Baron are the Dark Knights. It is they that most regular soldiers look up to and aspire to be. Only soldiers chosen by decree of King Baron may be allowed to join their ranks. Only a few men are chosen each year, they must not only be good soldiers but excellent swordsmen as well. The king also takes into account how the soldiers rely on one another and work as an effective unit. Being chosen requires that the soldier master the dark sword, and be able to wield it's dark power and channel this dark mana through his soul. Only after mastering that skill can the new recruit be permitted to fight in combat as a Dark Knight. Because of the high level of skill involved in becoming a Dark Knight they, together with the new Airships have become the commanding force for all of Baron's military.
