Unholy Knight

A human, clad in heavy, black metal armor, illuminated by the moon, opens a big smile on his face and laughs frenetically as the village before him crumbles in chaos. Houses are burning and people are running at the streets, terrified by the human, who has already killed dozens of them.

The light provenient from a few torches illuminates a tall elf with long, silver hair. She raises her hand, whispers a few words, and suddenly, three long-dead bodies start moving, reanimated as skeletons.

A dwarf, bathed in blood, cleaves another orc with his axe, and as he sees the last orc running from him, he creates a spear with his right hand, made with the blood from the other orcs he defeated. With a grim smile, he throws the spear, which hits the head of the target, finally ending the battle.

All three of them are unholy knights, warriors who combine their mastery with weapons and the use of forbidden magic, a foul, evil type of arcane magic. They go against all that is holy and pure, and use their magic to bring fear and destruction to common people.

Forbidden Magic Since the early days of arcane magic, evil creatures have created especially evil types of spells, trying to break the laws of death, bring chaos to the world and terrify other creatures. Of course, there were those who fought against these creatures, preventing spells such as these to spread across the multiverse. However, some of these spells escaped from destruction, and received the name of forbidden magic. Nowadays, exceptionally powerful evil creatures still create forbidden magic spells, and even if this type of magic is prohibited on many places in the multiverse, some other creatures still manage to put their hands on it. Unholy knights are those who combine forbidden magic with weapon fighting techniques. By searching and studying forbidden magic, they are able to use this type of magic via their unholy symbols, which are trinkets, such as rings or necklaces, infused with forbidden magic, making them fearful enemies. They are also able to use other types of arcane magic that aren't usually prohibited, since these can be useful for them to better study forbidden magic, but these are not their focus.
