The Dragon Knight

The Dragon Knight is a fearsome warrior who specialises in hunting down dragons and protecting others from their destructive might. These valiant fighters draw inspiration from the heroic deeds of the legendary Targa Vigil, the renowned dragon slayers. As a Dragon Knight, you harness the essence of dragons and channel it into your combat prowess, becoming a formidable force against these ancient beasts.
