Vaillant
The Knights of St. Trymir
"The
old world is corrupt, we will carve the new from its corpse"
For over 400 years
the family Vaillant has supplied Knights and sergeants to the Count of
Almaisie from their ancestral chapter of the Order of St. Gerlant. These
knights have been ceaseless crusaders and indefatigable champions of the
Church. In recent times, the Knights have fallen out of favour due to
their resistance to the Ecclesiarch Theoblanc and his new doctrines.
This it the player's
heroband in the Brothers du Vaillant campaign.
