The Exiled Knight's blade never leaves their side, a symbol of their unbroken will and readiness to defend themselves against any threat.

Exile’s Journey

Exiled from society, yet still bound by personal honor, Exiled Knights are warriors of great skill who carve their own path in an unforgiving world.
