The true glory seekers, Knights are chivalrous to a point but have none of the Duelist's respect for battles. Knights are the weapon masters, well-armored but relying on their swift, powerful attacks and powerful strength to destroy their enemy before they can counter-attack. Knights are the real behemoths of the battlefield, leading troops into the fray and slaughtering all they can. If you are a Knight, be looking for glory, looking for the next powerful weapon.Metadata.
