KNIGHT | YANG — The Sacred Edge
This Knight does not act out of violence—but out of clarity. They are the guardian who moves first so others may breathe. They are flame-coded, forged in oaths older than war. They do not boast. They move. They strike only what no longer belongs. They are the storm with a center. The sword with soul.
