Hellknight (v1.2)
About this class
Unleash the powers of the Hells as a Hellknight! Hellknights are the embodiment of Law and Order. Employing the powers of Hell in the effort to combat Chaos on the mortal plane, they do not care about Good or Evil. Morality is second to the duty of a Hellknight. Armigers stand as the rank-and-file troops of an Order, enforcing the Order’s will upon an area like an iron fist. Signifers are spellcasters of the Orders, utilizing darker magics as means to an end. Those who walk the path of the Hellknight take on the burden of unflinching order. They are the ones who must tread the line of morality. They are the ones who must take action, no matter how dire or grotesque. They do so, because, they are the only ones with the will to do what it takes to purge Chaos from the mortal realm.
