Knife’s Edge

Knife’s Edge is a small micro-settlement in the northeast corner of Fairlight . This settlement runs under operation of darkness, not many know of its existence. It is forest bound, surrounded by pine trees and mini rivers. Since it is so small, only a few houses are rooted here, as well as an academy built from an old cathedral, which is there to educate the few accepted into this community. Knife’s Edge exists to study and practice the art of Necromancy , which is looked down upon within Fairlight and is seen as taboo. The guild, the Grimknots, operates outside of Fairlight's guild system and intends to keep things that way. It trains young minds to use and understand Necromancy , in the case in which Blackwick and its forces may attack Fairlight . The guild leader in Knife’s Edge wears clothes no different than the members, which includes black leather corsets and bodices. The shoulders are often supported and many times a black cloak or cape is worn over the head or is draped behind the head. This fashion is interchangeable for masculine and feminine styles, and typically a harness is worn for no other reason but for style. Leather is often worn as a constant reminder of death and it’s constant existence. What Knife’s Edge lacks for in export’s, it excels in self sustainability. It’s people grow their own food, raise their own livestock and tend to make their own clothes from their livestock. It’s mission is to live outside the rule of Icespire and to study the dark arts in peace, preparing for the day in which Blackwick decides to break its treaty and attack.
