Year 8
The Unsung Knight Hero Skin
The name of the hero known as the Unsung Knight is a mystery to all. When she was a child, it was said she was a common thief, stealing and scavenging what she could to survive. But when she tried to steal from a noble Knight, the warrior saw something in her -- a spark. Instead of casting her aside, he took her under his wing, and trained her as a Warden. For years, she was taught the skills and the values of the now fallen order of Knights. Thus was she imbued with a fundamental set of beliefs: that she was intended to help.
