Felmog Knight

The mounted, black-armored warriors from the northern realm of Felmog, renowned for their adventurousness and prowess in battle. Most belong to one of three martial orders: the Iron Sun, Cloven Tongue, or the Black Candle. But all Felmog Knights live for the quest and the attainment of ancient Relics. The Felmog Outriders, a loose alliance of every martial order, put aside political tensions to operate and trade in realms beyond Felmog.
