BACKGROUND

The so-called Torment Knights bear little resemblance to the noble warriors they once aspired to be. Many were accomplished soldiers, mercenaries, crusaders or household guards before falling into the embrace of the Tormentor Cults. Though their martial skill remains formidable, whatever honour they once possessed has long since been consumed by fanaticism and cruelty.

In accordance with their dark beliefs, each Torment Knight swears an oath of perpetual burden, sealing themselves within suits of heavy, jagged armour nailed shut with iron spikes and prison bars. To them, the armour is both punishment and devotion, a constant reminder that suffering is embraced rather than endured.

On the battlefield, Torment Knights serve as the unyielding champions of the cult. They advance relentlessly through arrow fire and spellcraft alike, breaking enemy formations with brutal displays of strength. Their immense weapons crush armour, bone and shield with equal ease.

Whatever deeds of heroism these warriors may once have achieved have long since been eclipsed by darker accomplishments. Today they stand amongst the cult's most feared champions, capable of meeting even the finest warriors of the Penitent Crusade in single combat.
