In Knights of the Dark Night, a group of heroes, each carrying a remarkably similar tragic past, have been guarding the city of Rothun in solitude for years. But when Watchmaster Norton activates the Vigilante-Beam, these lone crusaders must unite to thwart the sinister Jester, who plans to unleash his deadly scheme on the city that very night.Players have the freedom to combine any race, class, and alignment to create their hero, though they all share the same haunting backstory:“After witnessing the brutal murder of my wealthy parents, I dedicated myself to becoming a shadow in the night, instilling fear in the hearts of wrongdoers. Now, I fight crime in Rothun as a mysterious caped hero.”
