Elven Mystic Knight

Elven Mystic Knights are a unique breed. They are champions for the Elven Nation who gain their mystic abilities through their divine connection through nature, but the mystic power resides within themselves, similar to sorcerers. They hold a delicate balance between warrior/mystic, elf/nature, and duty/desire. Elven Mystic Knights usually serve a commander, but many just wander the county righting wrongs and defending the weak. They are serve the nature itself, but some serve a nature deity, the Goddess. A mystic knight can use any weapon. They are capable woodsman, exceptional leaders, and mystics.

Elven Mystic knights have survived in many environments that have proven fatal to experienced rangers. They can use any type of armor, although they prefer Elven armor.
