Bitton's WAR: Knight of the Blazing Sun Preview
DateTime:7/8/2009 5:21:12 PM

So, Order finally got a Human tank. What’s the big deal? Well, Order players don’t seem to naturally gravitate towards the available tank classes the way Destruction does. Dwarves typically only appeal to certain types of players, we’ll call them freaky Dwarf-lovers, and Elves are a bit too effeminate for some. So where’s the happy medium been? He’s coming next week (For those of you who weren’t lazy and did the full Heavy Metal event! The rest of you: get busy or you’ll be drooling come next week!), and he’s the middle of the road, non-outrageous (except for his plumed hat) human tank: the Knight of the Blazing Sun.During the desperate battle at Magritta, men and women of all status joined in arms, and following its events the Knights of the Blazing Sun regarded anyone who can prove their competence in battle as an equal. They are not an order made up of nobles, but of capable men and women from all social status and walks of life

The Knight of the Blazing Sun is steeped in backstory. The Knights were established after a critical battle in defense of Magritta, which was miraculously won when, as a result of a tremor, a large statue of Myrmidia fell upon the advancing forces. The Knights of the Blazing Sun were a secular order of mercenaries before this event, but from this point on they worshiped the goddess Myrmidia.
