Blackguard

---|---|
Realm | Arthurian |
Archetype | Archer |
Motto | To rain Black Death from above. |
This order of archers was created by a young man named Edward. He organized a group of bowmen to defeat a “terror of Abominations” that arose from the Black Mire. They took on that tainted blight, and many horrible risks, in order to protect others. The Blackguard were among Arthur’s earliest followers, before the rebirth of magic in the world. Adopting the color black, these archers became the scourge of all enemies of the Realm.

Trivia[]
- The Blackguard may be in reference to the historical Edward III, known as the Black Prince. During the Battle of Halidon Hill, Edward used longbowmen to devastating results as Scottish soldiers tried to cross a marshy hollow and run up the hill, during the Second War of Scottish Independence.
