Dusk Blade
The Dusk Blade is a traditional fighter-mage of the High Elves. Less popular then in ages past, there is still a strong philosophy in most Northern High Elf settlements. The Elves of Tranquility, in particular, still maintain many Dusk Blades. They are largely responsible for the presence of the class in Marble, having traded its secrets to the Warwizards over generations. Both the Drow and the Free Dark Elves have some Dusk Blades. The Class has slow spread to other races, but the vast majority are still elven.
