Knight Class

"[...] there is much more to being a Knight than wearing heavy armor. Train with me, and you'll learn that firsthand!"

- Tathlin

Knight Class is a Class quest to become a Knight, available through Blackhawke. It is a revamp for the old Knight Class quest, now unavailable.

The trainers are Sir Tathlin from the Kingdom of Rennd, General Herous from Granemor, Deren's Knight Cerin, and Queen Tyranna of Stormfallen.

Introduction
'''Being a Knight is more than just wearing heavy body armor and riding on horseback. It is a commitment to serve your leader without fail and with absolute loyalty, which is something especially lacking in these desperate times...'''

«Scene: Verdant farmlands before a shining castle.»

'''Long ago, Lore had many powerful kingdoms on every continent that all lived in harmony. They had formed a great alliance that preserved the peace and sanctity over all of Lore. But that peace was shattered one day with the rise of a new kingdom... the kingdom of Stormfallen.'''

«Scene: A volcanic, lava-scarred landscape before a dark castle.»

'''It is said that the demons emerged from deep within Heck and forged Stormfallen to gain a foothold in Lore. The might demon queen of Stormfallen, Queen Tyranna, and her demonic hordes sought to conquer and subvert Lore into a demon haven.'''

«Scene: The same verdant farmlands before are burnt as Demon Knights attack while mounted on fire-breathing salamanders.»

'''Stormfallen's legions pushed forward, conquering many kingdoms and weakening many others. Much of the Western Expanse was torn apart by the devastation of a long, brutal war that claimed many lives and kingdoms. But in order to pass into the East, to reach the city of Battleon and truly conquer the continent... they had to pass through Rennd.'''

«Scene: Several Pria Knights of Rennd stand victorious against their Demon Knight enemies.»

'''Rennd, one of the oldest of the Lorian kingdoms that still remained, stood tall and pushed back their hordes, fighting with an intensity that the demons could not match. But Rennd, the last great kingdom in the Western Expanse, has grown weaker over time. And should they fall, all of Lore could be swept away...'''

«Scene: The Frogzard Knights of Deren ride before the capital.»

'''While many kingdoms fell into obscurity from the ravages of war, two others still stand strong to aid Rennd. One of them is the kingdom of Deren, ruled by King Tralin. When they heard of Rennd's plight, they sent their knights across the world to fight at Rennd's side.'''

«Scene: The 'Emoran Knights stand before the wall of Granemor.»

'''The other is fairly young, born from the ashes of old Granemor. A fierce fighting force raised to defend Granemor from the mutant menace. The 'Emoran Knights have joined in the war effort against the demonic forces of Stormfallen.'''

«Scene returns to Rennd's farmlands.»

'''And one day, when you are ready, you will be able to choose which of these great kingdoms you wish to serve. But you have much to learn about the basics of Knighthood before that day comes.'''

 * When the player reached Level 5 and the following text could be read. (It is no longer available.)

Coming SUMMER 2013!
 * Kingdom of Rennd! The Pria Knights are excellent warriors trained in the use of Light, and are experienced in the art of demon-slaying after many years of warfare with Stormfallen's forces. Despite their numbers dwindling, their honor will not allow them to give up the fight!
 * Kingdom of Granemor! The 'Emoran Knights have developed excellent armor and defensive techniques. Their exposure to the undead and the mutants have turned them into battle-hardened warriors of Darkness that know no fear... but are quite capable of driving fear deep into their enemies' hearts!
 * Kingdom of Stormfallen! The Demon Knights live to serve Demon Queen Tyranna. Their abandonment of their honor and virtues in favor of a merciless fighting style that uses demon magic have labeled them a disgrace to the title of "Knight". Nonetheless, no one dares ignore the bloodthirsty cry of these feral beasts!
 * Kingdom of Deren! The Frogzard Knights have learned to use their knowledge in battle to adapt to changing combat conditions. Their knowledge of nature and Earth, combined with their superior analytical minds, allow them to focus on creating openings and striking at a foe's weakness!
 * The original quest was released in July 5th, 2005, and this revamp replaced it in June 20th 2013.
