- Permissions and credits

He was a commander. He was a protector. But most important, he was a failure.
Crowned as a hero, a false one of course. Wealth and palace only reminded him how many died because of him, and how much the debt he could never repay. Shame, perhaps, was all he had left.
He stayed at a cabin in the middle of nowhere, not to hide but to punish himself. He would spend days and nights staring at the wooden door, waiting for a knock. Waiting for all the childless mothers, widows and their kin to seek revenge, freeing themselves from a life-long anger, so that they will finally be free. So that, he will be free.
He would sleep. He would wake. He would stare. He would wait. Waiting, waiting for days, waiting for weeks, waiting for months, for years........
There was not a single knock in centuries. Just a bitter old man sitting inside an empty house, half blinded, covered with white hairs, face full of wrinkles, still waiting, waiting for something he didn't even know if it was coming or not.
One day, he heard a knock. But it was a short and light knock, not a loud or heavy knock. "Tis not the day" he thought. Outside the wooden door, a strange wagon was here in the rocky road. Three shadows lurking inside, peeking out behind the curtain, glancing the man standing in the dark.
He picked up his shield with his trembling hand, walked out the door with his crippling legs, rode the wagon with his fading mind.
One last ride to the battlefield. One last ride to salvation. One last ride to die........
Descriptions
A complete overhaul of Man-at-Arms' skills making him like a paladin.
Most of his skills have been changed to make him more a heal-support-debuff character.
Skills have been buffed to be more impactful. But for the sake of balance, certain skills require conditions to be meet before using.
Courageous Abandon & Strategic Withdrawal only unlocked after the 5th hero shine. But they are really weak comparing to other skills. Thus, they are heavily buffed.
Courageous Abandon as a new way to increase flame in battle has been introduced.
