Ardok: Path of the Dark Knight

 * A lone warrior emerges from the Elvaan City of San d'Oria. Having been one of the few Hume that actually lived amongst the Elvaan and was kept away from the Apathetic behaviors of the Hume in Bastok. Having gaining strength he had learned how to use different weapons and favored the Great Sword at first as well as knowing a bit of hand to hand and axe. He had been a protector when adventuring into lands such as Valkurm Dunes, Qufim Island, Yuhtunga Jungle, Yhoator Jungle, Garlaige Citadel, and Crawlers Nest. He found himself wanting more than the role as protector. Soon his call was answered by a young Galka Boy in Bastok, Gumbah. A new Journey he would embark on.


 * It was quiet in the mines of Palbourogh. He was told to find the Dark Knight Master, Zeid. With his skill with a great sword, it would prove useful in his trial of becoming more than a warrior. He comes upon the Dark Knight near the fairys that would eventually lead him back to Zeruhn Mines and Bastok Mines, he recieved a sword, Chaosbringer. His mission: Feed it's bloodlust. Upon receiving the sword he was told when he slew the proper amount of enemies, he would have satisfied "the burden", upon doing this, he would have to meet with Zeid once more in Beadeux, the Quadav Stronghold. The Hume Warrior layed in his wake the destruction of one-hundred monsters and creatures of Vana'diel; his mission was complete.


 * Upon finishing his mission, he immediately went to the Quadav stronghold and found Zeid. Having completed his quest for more power he was then known as a Dark Sider. A new Dark Knight that day was born. Now as a Dark Knight, Ardok now abandoned his role as protector, and took up the role as destroyer, with his new powers, his physical attacks would increase and now a new ability that no regular warrior could use; the dark arts. Now that he had just begun his new journey as a Dark Knight, he had to work for his strength once more and eventually surpass what he had learned as a warrior.


 * Hours, Days, Weeks, and Months have passed. The Dark Knight grew powerful. Using the powers of Blood Weapon, Souleater, and Last Resort had made him a fierce foe in a party standpoint. His knowledge in the Dark Arts grew as Dark Knights are the masters of Dark Magic, and he used this to his advantage being a Hume Dark Knight. Trials were set before him, he eventually allied with some other adventurers he knew and gained the raven scythe, and the Chaos Set for the Dark Knight. Ardok emerged as a full fledged Dark Knight and had suprassed all he knew as a warrior. He had also been undergoing tasks from a greater mentor, Maat of Jeuno. The old man often resided in the Grand Duke Palace in the highest point in Jeuno known as Ru'Lude Gardens. By this time Ardok had traveled the well known lands of the Alliance of Altana, the dead cold north of the region of Valedeunia and Fauregandi. The outlands of Elshimo, and even some of the lands of Aht Urghan. Ardok became powerful enough to face the toughest of foes yet; Maat.


 * After a few losses, Ardok looked into his strategies and found one thing that Dark Knights were best at, offense. Having been a Dark Knight for a while now, he finally gathered all he knew and retried an all out strategy. He grieved at the fact that he had to face the old man again, but it was greuling training of a Dark Knight and for a Hume, it was challenging. He felt prepared, but was unsure as to if he would win, but barely surviving the fight against Maat, Ardok like many other adventurers, emerged a star breaker, after this he continued mastering his skills as a Dark Knight and gained the fabled weapon skills Spiral Hell from the scythe, and Ground Strike from the Great Sword. These two weapon skills would prove useful to Ardok's days to becoming another Dark Knight Master. Reflecting back to those days, the Dark Knight uses all he knew then and resides in the past fighting in the crystal war, aiding the Empire of Aht Urghan in the present day, and a leader of his own Linkshell. As well as being an experienced Dark Knight, Ardok also shares his wisdom and knowledge to all Dark Knights who wish to have his guidance.
