Eclipse Knights

"Power exerts itself onto Aitso. Natural phenomena see massive flows of mana and aether that fuel the world and give the magical ones more and more power. Eruptions awakens pyromancers and powerful monsters - flooding awakens the tyrants of the sea, and the ones that bend the waves to their will. The hurricanes bring those that ride the wind as if it were a steed. Earthquakes cause dungeons to form - and the creation of monsters are tied to disasters that see life get snuffed. A vicious cycle. The Eclipse is coming. Suns, and Moon, aligning. Night and day, as one. If this event, only lasting mere minutes, will be considered like all other disasters we've seen - then we are truly doomed. Which is why we must protect heart of the eclipse. Where the celestial objects shall be found - directly - and where most of its power shall be found. Our knights shall be the one to take the power - what will be given to them, it will not be used as a method of temptation. It will simply be used. And it'll be used accordingly,"
 

- Knight Captain Luhman, regarding the purpose of the Eclipse Knights.

  The Eclipse Knights are some of the most powerful warriors and soldiers to exist near the Wayfarer's Belt. They serve as a barrier, for New Vytalie, for those that are considered as undesired residents of the Wayfarers Belt. Their home, where the Eclipse is said to occur at its strongest point, is built into the horrific region that seperates New Vytalie from the seas. The only way to pass through, without turning to the closer oceans of the Vytalie Peninsula.
  Many of the Eclipse Knights got their title from exceptional work in different regions across Aitso. The knights are known for being extremely powerful, but even more strict and violent with their training regiments. The only thing they lack in extremities or excess, is mercy.
  Very few Eclipse Knights exist - the first sightings of a potential Eclipse, after the shift of the Calendar, had caused for a demand of extremely powerful combatants to prevent the wrong hands from acquiring this power. Less than two decades on, and the demand is still strong.
