About this class
The Knight of Adornment is a knight, or other powerful figure, who has adorned themselves with magic jewels in order to carry out their duties better. While this might give them an air of status, they are still people, and would do what they do even without the magic jewels. The jewels are just a sign that they are capable of extraordinary things. They use their jewels, and their skills, to aid others, which makes them keen figures to team up with. However, don’t get on the wrong side of a Knight of Adornment. For if you do, you will see that their jewels are not just for show.
