Millwood Knights

Lore

Millwood is a land of primitive earth worship. The knights who called it home were said to fight hand-in-hand with the earth itself. Even their weapons were emblazoned with the symbol of an "ethereal", or spirit, tree. This imagery is mirrored on their armor and shields as well. The chieftains of the knights served as high priests and performed certain sacred rites.

When the fabled Millwood forest was discovered, it was a vacant ruin. Only the Ethereal Oak still stood, though it was rotting. No corpses were discovered, though their belongings were arranged neatly on the ground. An attack by an abyss dragon is probably the cause of their ruin, causing the knights to engage on a long journey. Thus, the knights of Millwood had their home taken from them, and their duty as well. Forlorn, the knights were drawn into the Painted World of Ariandel, where they could forget what had befallen them.
