Once upon a time Orchid was a camp, a place where captive mages lived under the watchful eyes of the government. It was never a happy place, but it had once been filled with life besides the sparse peppering of grass and trees. Like many places, the land was scarred with the sins of those that had turned the settlement into a sprawling graveyard. While there were headstones for the knights, mages were not afforded the same respect, instead they lay in mass graves, unmarked and forgotten by time.
He is still stuck in those times, perpetually suspended in his last memories. Memories of battle, betrayal, and death.
He must protect Orchid. He must prevent anyone from entering it.
Once a man skilled with the sword, he is now a restless beast, a foul creature whose body has long died only to be reanimated with his soul.
A dread knight, tied to the land of the living because of feelings of unfinished business. Rumors of his presence have been spreading through North Fiore, and it's been said that he's attacked several merchant caravans that ventured too close to the graveyard.
[Ooc: This is a special mission that may only be completed once. It can be completed by multiple people, in which case everyone will still get the same rewards. This mission will have no further moderation so it is up to the players to run with the story and make something of it.
Name: Knight of the Living Dread
Rank: B
Objective: Defeat the Dread Knight, pacify his spirit to send him to the afterlife, or find another way to stop him.
Reward: 1,200 Jewels, Sword of a Fallen Hero
Item Name: Sword of a Fallen Hero
Item Type: Sword
Physical Description: The decorated hilt of a sword that seems to have the emblem of a noble family engraved into it. Strangely, the hilt has no blade attached to it, nor does it appear to be broken. Where the blade would be, there is only a mysterious splinter of lacrima that cannot be pried from it.
Special Effect: Summons a D Rank magical blade where the blade of the sword would be. This phantom blade can ignore D rank armor and strike phase through to the person beneath it. Can be used to strike a person once per thread without costing mana.
Cost: N/A]
