Story[]

The Noblesse[]

During the Ancient War, the divine bird Shinsoo had taken pity on the people of Maple World, who had been suffering immensely in the chaos of the Ancient Gods. Shinsoo took it upon herself to protect humanity from the carnage with her immense power.

After the end of the war, Shinsoo was tasked with protecting a particular bloodline, which had grown intertwined with the Transcendents, such that a descendent of that bloodline would one day awaken to become a replacement Transcendent should the need arise.

To this end, Shinsoo used her power to create the floating island of Ereve, which became a seat of power for the Empress of Maple World, whose bloodline held the power of the Transcendents. Shinsoo also created the Piyos, a race of bird-like creatures, who would carry out her will to aid the Empress.

In the absence of the Ancient Gods, a brief time of peace began as the people began rebuilding and creating new kingdoms. However, chaos soon reigned once more as these different kingdoms waged war on one another. Amongst those who had been protected by Shinsoo, a small number chose to stay at her side in Ereve, where they learned from her teachings.

Having expended most of her power on protecting humanity, as well as creating Ereve and the Piyos, Shinsoo had considerably weakened in the aftermath of the war. In her stead, her followers chose to carry out her will and protect the weak. Shinsoo gave them her blessings and named them the Noblesse.

Though they were bound by ideology, rather than bloodline, the Noblesse fought bravely to defend humanity. The Noblesse also built a large mansion on Ereve, in which they and those who joined their ranks resided, though they spent much of their time away from Ereve in order to fight in the many wars that took place across the ages.

During the war against the Black Mage, Orchid and Lotus laid waste to Ereve and killed Empress Aria, her Knight of Light, and a majority of the Noblesse.

Around 300 years ago, a mysterious war broke out in Maple World. Though nearly all details about its origins and history remained shrouded in mystery, it was rumored that Lotus, whose spirit was capable of leaving his comatose body and possessing others, may have been the cause. The Noblesse fought alongside several others, such as Athena Pierce, in order to bring an end to the conflict. However, many Noblesse fell in battle during the war, bringing about their extinction.

Over the next few centuries, few people would remember that such a war had even occurred. Though the Noblesses had gone extinct, their ideals would be passed down over generations through their descendants, thus keeping a spark of their memory alive.

Search for the Empress[]

On Rien, a small clan who still remembered the legend of the Heroes held faith that the lost hero Aran, who remained frozen on the island, would one day awaken. Over the centuries, the Rien Clan continued passing down the prophecy of the Heroes' return, though many slowly began to lose faith. One by one, the clan began to leave Rien until only two siblings, Lilin and Neinheart von Rubistein, remained. Eventually, even Neinheart lost faith in the prophecy and decided that he would rather take fate into his own hands by finding the lost descendent of Empress Aria in order to have them become the next ruler of Maple World.

Lilin and Neinheart got into an argument, and when Lilin refused to abandon her faith, Neinheart left her behind. After a long and difficult search, Neinheart succeeded in finding the descendent of Aria's niece, a young girl named Cygnus. He brought her before the Senate of Ereve, hoping that they would recognize her as the heir to Ereve. The elders gave Neinheart one year to prepare her for her responsibilities as Empress, after which they would give their decision. In order to help prepare Cygnus for her evaluation, Neinheart summoned a wandering warrior who owed Neinheart a life debt.

Over the course of the year, the wandering warrior and Neinheart tutored Cygnus in subjects such as history, leadership, and diplomacy. However, Cygnus fell gravely ill partway into the year. The wandering warrior found a cure for her sickness in Mu Lung, but word reached Orchid that an envoy of Ereve had sought children's medicine. Realizing that Aria's descendent may have been found, Orchid prepared for the Black Wings to invade Ereve.

At the end of the year, Cygnus was brought before the elders, who questioned her about her lessons. They asked Cygnus whether she was ready to shoulder the burdens of being the Empress, warning her that not only would her health deteriorate while absorbing the power of Shinsoo, but there would also be many assassination attempts on her life, not to mention the constant struggle of having the entire world depend on her leadership.

Before Cygnus could respond, word arrived that the Black Wings had invaded Ereve, as the kingdom's borders were weak without an Empress to use Shinsoo's power. Cygnus resolved to take on the responsibility of being the Empress and accepted Shinsoo's power. With her leadership, the wandering warrior and the army of Ereve successfully repelled the Black Wings' invasion, and Cygnus was crowned the next Empress of Maple World.

Formation of the Knights[]

After having struggled to repel the Black Wings' invasion, Cygnus realized that Ereve lacked the military strength to protect Maple World. To remedy this, Cygnus' first act as Empress was to create the Cygnus Knights, an order of knights who would defend the people of Maple World from the Black Wings and other threats. Cygnus and Neinheart began searching Chief Knights to lead her forces, and their mission would lead them to recruiting the five Chief Knights: Mihile, Irena, Hawkeye, Oz, and Eckhart.

Eleanor the Black Witch[]

In Edelstein, a fledgling Resistance was forming against the Black Wings who had taken over their town. Over time, the Resistance grew in numbers and soon decided that it was time to take back their city. They reached out to the Cygnus Knights, proposing a joint operation to remove the Black Wings from power. However, the Cygnus Knights soon learned that the Black Wings were plotting to assassinate the Empress.

A veteran knight named Dunamis was sent to infiltrate the Black Wings' base in Edelstein, where he discovered the mastermind of the plot: a high-ranking officer of the Black Wings named Eleanor the Black Witch. Although he couldn't finish her off, Dunamis took a black scale from her that she was carrying and returned to Ereve.

Unsatisfied with his failure to capture her, Dunamis went back to Edelstein against Neinheart's counsel in order to defeat the Black Witch. However, Eleanor lured him into a trap and captured him. To retrieve Dunamis, Neinheart dispatched a second Knight. Sneaking past the defenses, the Knight made their way into the mine. There, they met a ghost named Big Daddy, who offered to help locate Dunamis in exchange for recovering his daughter's photo from the Ore Munchers.

After finding the photo, Big Daddy led the Knight to Gelimer's secret prison. There, the Knight met a researcher named Allen, who agreed to help free Dunamis, as he himself had been kidnapped and forced to work for Gelimer. Taking androids apart for their parts, the Knight brought the necessary components for Allen to unlock the prison cell.

Dunamis thanked the Knight for rescuing him, explaining that he had almost captured Eleanor when she trapped him. He was confused about why she had gone easy on him the first time, even allowing him to bring back the black scale to Ereve. They decided to investigate and went deeper into the mine to Eleanor's room. Inside, they found her secret plans and were horrified to learn that the black scale was part of a spell she was planning to cast. They fought their way out of the mine and returned to Ereve. Upon arriving, they saw that the entirety of Ereve had lost its color. At the Empress' resting spot, they found Cygnus, Neinheart, Shinsoo, and all the Chief Knights turned to stone.

Eleanor explained that Shinsoo's power prevented any curse from befalling Ereve, but that a resident of Ereve could inadvertently bring it in, which was why she allowed Dunamis to take the black scale with him. The Knight then defeated Eleanor, causing her to retreat and breaking the spell. Though the Black Witch had been defeated, they realized that Eleanor's true plan was to prevent the Cygnus Knights from aiding the Resistance.

As a result, the Resistance went into battle expecting reinforcements that never arrived. The failed attack resulted in heavy casualties, and the Resistance was forced underground once again. Believing that the Cygnus Knights had betrayed them by going back on their word, the Resistance vowed that they would take back their city alone, and this event sparked heavy animosity between the two.

Hunt for the Seal Stones[]

Some time later, Francis the Puppeteer was sent to find the Seal Stone of Victoria Island. In order to do so, he seized control of the monsters in Henesys and Perion to help locate it. In addition to facing Aran, who had recently awakened from the ice, Francis came into contact with the Cygnus Knights, who did everything in their power to prevent him from completing his mission. Aran eventually learned that the Black Wings were planning to steal the Seal Stone of Ereve and warned Neinheart. Thanks to her intervention, the Chief Knights successfully protected the Seal Stone from Baroq the Master of Disguise.

Silent Crusade[]

At the end of the Silent Crusade storyline, Wence reveals that the organization had secretly been created by Empress Aria centuries ago in order to gather information about the Black Mage and to prevent disasters from occurring.

Aiding Elluel[]

Mercedes, who had recently emerged from the ice, approached Cygnus and Neinheart in order to request their aid in protecting Elluel from the Black Wings. Neinheart dispatched three knights in order to help defend the kingdom.

Feather Plants[]

When the Cygnus Knights learned that the Resistance was in desperate need of Feather Plants in order to create antidotes, Eckhart traveled to Edelstein and gave them to a Resistance member. However, Claudine refused the Cygnus Knights' help and sent them back.

Gate to the Future[]

In the Gate to the Future, it was revealed that Cygnus and her knights had fallen to evil. Cygnus had grown obsessed with finding the World Tree, which she believed to be the key to defeating the Black Mage. Upon finding the World Tree, she realized too late that it was a trap set by the Black Mage, who then corrupted her and the rest of Ereve. With both Cygnus and Shinsoo fallen to evil, the divine power of the Empress was lost to them, causing Ereve to crash down upon Maple World. Cygnus then sent her corrupted Knights to conquer the rest of the world.

Root Abyss[]

Word soon reached the Alliance that a previously uncharted area in Sleepywood had appeared. After learning that Alicia, the Transcendent of Life and the World Tree was trapped in Root Abyss, Neinheart mobilized the Alliance against the Seal Guardians in order to free her. They were able to defeat the Seal Guardians and brought Alicia back to Ereve, where she was absorbed inside the gemstone on Shinsoo's forehead for her safety.

Cygnus Knight Class Storyline (Current)[]

Main Story[]

Knight's Path[]

In Ereve, a young traveler came to participate in the Cygnus Knight entrance exam. While exploring the island, they came across a large mansion with training grounds, and though it appeared old, the traveler noticed that someone had been taking care of it. Just then, a Piyo elder arrived and greeted them.

When the traveler asked whether the house belonged to him, the elder explained that he was merely its caretaker, and that those who had lived in it had left Ereve long ago. He then asked the traveler whether they were familiar with the Noblesse, to which the traveler replied that they had been looking for the Noblesse's old lodgings.

The elder was surprised, as he had believed that the Noblesse had faded from human memory. He asked the traveler what they knew about the Noblesse, to which the traveler explained that they only knew that their ancestors had left a message saying to never forget the way of the Noblesse, as well as how the Noblesse had stayed in Ereve long ago.

The elder explained that the story of the Noblesse had been handed down through generations of Piyos, revealing that the Noblesse had been ordinary humans that held extraordinary faith. He told the traveler that Maple World's early history had been steeped in war and chaos, with generations suffering an endless cycle of violence. Feeling pity for humanity, Shinsoo had used her power to protect them, and after the war, many began rebuilding their homes. However, a small number had stayed and learned from her teachings before journeying out in the name of self-sacrifice. In accordance with her will, they had chosen to protect the weak and stand against evil, and had soon come to be called the Noblesse.

The traveler asked where the Noblesse had gone, to which the elder explained that they had gone extinct, with many falling in the wars and the rest fading into obscurity. However, he revealed that one of his ancestors had dreamed that the Noblesse would return one day. Though he conceded that it may simply be a dream, he noted that they now had Empress Cygnus, whose ascension had restored a long-lost bloodline.

He then added that even the traveler's arrival was auspicious, as they knew the Noblesse name and had come in search of them. The surprised traveler asked whether they could be a Noblesse, explaining that though they had come to Ereve in order to become a knight, the Noblesse sounded similar. The elder explained that Noblesse was neither a title nor a bloodline, adding that to his understanding, the Noblesse had never referred to themselves as such, as they had earned that title from the people for their good deeds.

The traveler, realizing that they were a descendent of the Noblesse, vowed to do their best in order to honor their ancestors. They told the elder that they wanted to protect people, which was why they wanted to be a Cygnus Knight. The elder replied that if they truly had that desire, then they would find what they sought. Realizing that the Initiate Trials were about to begin, the elder directed the Noblesse to be on their way. Before they left, the elder gave them a book about the Noblesse, which also contained information about what it meant to be a knight.

The Noblesse then attended the Knight's Orientation, where a ceremony was being held to welcome those who wished to join the ranks of the Cygnus Knights. At the ceremony, Mihile greeted the prospective candidates and informed them that though he wished that all the candidates could join their ranks, not everyone would make the cut. He explained that the Cygnus Knights had been created to be the shield and spear of the Empress, to protect her and to fight against the Black Mage. He then noticed the Noblesse's determined look and asked what drove them. He was pleased to hear their response that they wanted to protect others. He then told them not to reveal their name, adding that he would learn it if they passed the trials, when their name would follow the word ‘Sir' upon knighthood.

After the welcoming ceremony, the Noblesse underwent several examinations that tested their physical strength and knowledge. During the exam, the Noblesse wandered over to a pavilion, where they encountered Empress Cygnus. Unaware of her true identity, the Noblesse mistook her as another examiner and the two began to make small talk.

Cygnus noted that they had shown many knightly qualities during the exam, such as strength, knowledge, and perseverance. However, she added that a knight needed more than that. Upon seeing the Noblesse's confusion, she asked them what differentiated a knight from a simple brawler. The Noblesse answered that a knight was someone who knew how to sacrifice for the weak, and though Cygnus acknowledged that it was important, she explained that a knight also needed to know when to make that sacrifice.

She then added that though they were all weak alone, they were stronger when they came together. She noted that the Noblesse still had a ways to go, though when the Noblesse asked whether it meant that they had failed, she laughed and explained that she simply meant that she was looking forward to seeing them grow with time.

Cygnus decided to name them a Knight-in-Training, but just as the Noblesse wondered how an examiner could knight them, Neinheart arrived urgently and reported that Baroq the Master of Disguise had infiltrated Ereve and stolen an important treasure. The Noblesse offered to help, and though Neinheart noted that they were not a trained knight, he nevertheless allowed them to join the search party, though he warned them not to engage Baroq.

The Noblesse soon encountered Mihile during their search and quickly deduced from his behavior that he was Baroq in disguise. After defeating him, they recovered the missing treasure and brought it to Neinheart. Neinheart congratulated the Noblesse for passing the mock training, explaining that it had been the final part of the examination. He added that the exercise had been based on an actual situation, in which Baroq truly had invaded Ereve and attempted to steal Shinsoo's Teardrop.

The Noblesse expressed their surprise that they had been able to defeat the mock Baroq, to which Neinheart clarified that they would surely have been killed if they had been facing the real one. He emphasized that their decision to face Baroq alone despite being told not to engage in combat directly impacted their fellow knights and the Empress, which was why it was important that they remember that they didn't have to do everything by themselves.

He then sent them to meet with Cygnus, who would determine whether or not they had passed. Cygnus formally introduced herself after their brief meeting in the pavilion, and the Noblesse apologized for their behavior during the mock exam. Though Cygnus noted that Neinheart had been right to ask them to retreat in the mock training, the Noblesse had also demonstrated a knightly quality in marching towards their destiny with conviction. Because of this, Cygnus decided to formally recognize the Noblesse as a Cygnus Knight.

Knight-in-Training's Path[]
Victoria Island Dispatch[]

The Noblesse, now a Cygnus Knight, met with the five Chief Knights and chose their path. After learning new skills, they returned to Neinheart, who explained that the Cygnus Knights were investigating the Black Wings, and so he assigned them their first mission, which was to go to Victoria Island and investigate the actions of Francis the Puppeteer. He instructed them to seek out an informant named Roca, who would tell them more about the Black Wings.

In Henesys, they met with Roca, who began telling them about their mission. He explained that the Cygnus Knights had been formed to face the Black Mage, who had been sealed away by the Heroes centuries ago. Despite being sealed away, the Black Mage's influence had spread to his followers, among which were the Black Wings, a militant cult that sought to revive him. He then asked them to follow a lead on reports of unusual monster activity on Suspicious Hill, where Roca believed that Francis was controlling the monsters with his puppets.

The Knight discovered several puppets in the Cynical Orange Mushrooms and brought them to Roca, who then asked them to investigate strange behavior in the Horny Mushrooms, which had gotten more aggressive. The Knight obtained puppets inside the Berserk Horny Mushrooms and brought them back to Roca, explaining that the Horny Mushrooms were even more aggressive than the Orange Mushrooms. Roca realized that the Puppeteer was indeed active again, though he wondered what he could be after.

Roca then asked the Knight to speak with Pia, who told them that no one would believe her testimony that Angry Horny Mushrooms were near the Pet Park. The Knight went to investigate and discovered several large puppet dolls hanging from large pieces of rope. They also discovered a horde of Angry Horny Mushrooms in the area. After defeating them, they reported back to Roca, who realized that Francis had likely intended for the monsters to raid Henesys. He decided to request for backup from Ereve and sent the Knight to work with 10 Boogies in Perion.

In Perion, 10 Boogies showed the Knight her Puppeteer Detector and explained that Oz had helped her create it. She told them that the detector was capable of picking up a trace of the magic that Francis used to control monsters. She told them that it had recently started picking up a large amount of activity near Perion and asked the Knight to investigate.

The Knight investigated the source of the signal and defeated the Berserk Ghost Stumps in the area. After they returned back, 10 Boogies checked the detector again and was shocked to find that there was a huge signal nearby, despite there not being a high number of monsters. She suspected that it might be Francis himself and emphasized that they needed to check as soon as possible before he left. Though she also realized that it may be a trap, she also knew that there wasn't enough time to request backup from Ereve, and so the Knight agreed to go in alone.

The Knight began to investigate and discovered a cave, inside which they discovered Francis creating puppets and complaining aloud that there was no way that he could invade every town in Victoria Island and gather enough energy for the Black Wings, noting that it had taken quite some time to conquer Edelstein to begin with. The Knight crept closer to hear better, but Francis immediately heard them and ordered the Knight to reveal themselves.

Having been discovered, the Knight fought and defeated Francis, who managed to retreat. The Knight noted that Francis had likely not been at full-strength, as he had been busy making more puppets. They returned back to 10 Boogies and told her about Francis' plan to invade Victoria Island with the monster army, as well as his goal to collect more energy. 10 Boogies was curious about why he had been sent to gather energy, but the Knight apologized and explained that they had been discovered before learning the answer. Nevertheless, she thanked them for their help as a Knight-in-Training and asked them to deliver her report to Neinheart in Ereve.

Investigating Edelstein[]

Neinheart was pleased that they had been able to defeat Francis with ease, informing them that Francis was the lowest-ranking Black Wings officer, and that the others would be much more difficult to defeat, as each of them had bizarre and powerful abilities. The Knight asked him why the Black Wings were trying to resurrect the Black Mage, to which Neinheart told them that the Black Wings believed that the Black Mage would allow them to rule the world, though Neinheart dismissed them as fools who were wasting their talents.

Nevertheless, he warned the Knight not to underestimate the Black Wings' power, explaining that they had taken over the land of Edelstein. He told the Knight that Edelstein had once been prosperous in the mining industry before the Black Wings had taken over. As the Cygnus Knights were unsure about the Black Wings' motives, he told the Knight that he was sending them in to investigate. The Knight was eager to have been assigned the mission, as they hoped that their actions would make a difference to the people of Edelstein. However, Neinheart told them that he needed to explain something important before they were dispatched.

He told the Knight that there was a Resistance against the Black Wings, but that they were not allied with the Cygnus Knights. When the Knight asked why that was, Neinheart told them that they would learn the answer themselves on the mission. He also emphasized that they should expect no support from both the Resistance and the citizens of Edelstein. With that, he sent them to rendezvous with 10 Boogies in the outskirts of the town.

As they were about to board the airship, their Chief Knight arrived and asked whether it was true that they had defeated the Puppeteer. The Knight dismissed their actions as merely luck, and though their Chief Knight was pleased by their humbleness, they warned the Knight to remain vigilant, as darkness grew stronger even as they did. They then wished the Knight good luck on their mission, explaining that they had a mission of their own to complete.

In Edelstein, the Knight met with 10 Boogies, who was relieved to see a fellow Cygnus Knight. She told them that some of the local children had covered her in bugs while she had been asleep and had stolen her belongings. She asked the Knight to get them back, warning them not to reveal that they were a Cygnus Knight while doing so. While obtaining the items, the Knight was shocked to hear just how much animosity the townspeople held for the Cygnus Knights.

The children who had stolen 10 Boogies' belongings led the Knight to a remote part of town and began to ask them about why they were helping a Cygnus Knight like 10 Boogies get her items back. The Knight told them that it was only right to help those in trouble. The children believed the Knight's explanation and agreed to give back the stolen items. When the Knight asked why they hated the Cygnus Knights, however, the children told them that everyone knew how the Cygnus Knights had betrayed the people of Edelstein. They then showed a flyer which contained misinformation, such as how Cygnus and her Knights were hollow shells, painted up in declarations of virtue. On the flyer, the Knight noticed a black symbol and decided to ask 10 Boogies about it.

10 Boogies was relieved to get her belongings back and warned the Knight not to underestimate the hatred for the Cygnus Knights in Edelstein. She explained the story behind why the Resistance hated the Cygnus Knights and why even the citizens of Edelstein viewed them as traitors. The Knight then showed her the flyer denouncing Cygnus and asked about the symbol. 10 Boogies explained that it was the symbol of the Black Wings and suspected that they must have released such propaganda in order to further deepen Edelstein's hatred of the Cygnus Knights, to the point that the Resistance had stopped responding to all of the Cygnus Knights' communication.

Nevertheless, she told them that their role as informants was to work with the citizens of Edelstein in spite of their hostility in order to learn the true goals of the Black Wings. She then explained that the Knight's Chief Knight had reached out to her and asked her to supervise the Knight's training while on their mission, and so she had them defeat the Water Thief Monsters nearby.

After the Knight finished training, 10 Boogies asked them to speak with the townspeople in order to gather information, telling them to be careful not to let the citizens know that they were a Cygnus Knight. In town, the Knight spoke with Checky, Brighton, Elex, and Belle, all of whom immediately recognized them as a Cygnus Knight and rebuffed them. They then spoke with Claudine, who told them that one of the children who had stolen 10 Boogies' belongings was her sister, Ulrika, who had told her that the Knight had claimed not to be a Cygnus Knight. When Claudine asked whether that was true, the Knight decided to be honest and revealed themselves as a Cygnus Knight, claiming that they just wanted to help the people of the town.

Annoyed, Claudine took them to a back alley in order to speak more freely. Claudine told them that the Knights didn't understand Edelstein's circumstances, and that lies and secrets only led to unnecessary complications while staying vigilant around the Black Wings. She then asked why the Cygnus Knights had come to Edelstein, to which they told her that they had come to gather information on the strange activities in Victoria Island. Claudine told them that they were free to do so, but warned them to give up on befriending the people of Edelstein.

The Knight asked to get in contact with the Resistance, but Claudine merely scoffed and asked how they planned on allying with the Resistance when they couldn't even get the townspeople on their side. She added that for the sake of security, none of the citizens even knew about the identities of Resistance members. She also added that there was nothing to say to those who broke their word without even giving a proper justification as to why. The Knight replied that there must be some misunderstanding, as the Resistance had been ignoring all of Ereve's attempts at communication. However, Claudine retorted that it was the Cygnus Knights who had cut off communication.

She then told the Knight that they were wasting their time and warned them to go back to Ereve. As the Knight walked away, Claudine called the Resistance headquarters and told them that she had acquired their target. However, she also added that she had something that she wanted to confirm.

Though they had been told to leave, the Knight refused to give up and continued trying to find an ally in Edelstein. They soon ran into Ulrika, who told them that she knew what they were after and claimed to be a member of the Resistance, adding that her youth lent credibility to her story, as it was easier to avoid the suspicion of the Black Wings in order to help the Resistance on secret missions.

She offered to take them to the Resistance base in exchange for Black Plastic Bags from Dustboxes and Streetlight Bulbs from Streetlight monsters, which she claimed to be for stocking their supplies. However, after the Knight collected them, Ulrika told them that the materials were actually for her homework. She then gave the Knight directions and went on ahead.

As the Knight followed Ulrika's directions, she and her friends prepared to ambush the Knight by setting bugs on them, just as they had done with 10 Boogies. Upon hearing footsteps, they jumped out to launch their surprise attack, but realized that Black Wings henchmen had appeared instead. The henchmen realized that the children were pretending to be Resistance members and decided to kidnap them for Gelimer to use as test subjects.

Just then, the Knight arrived and found the henchmen advancing on the children. The Knight quickly defeated the henchmen, just as Checky rushed to the scene. Checky was grateful to the Knight, but told them that it still wouldn't change their image in the eyes of the townspeople. Nevertheless, he gave the Knight a note and told them to read it somewhere in private.

The Knight opened the note and read instructions for them to wait for a call at an abandoned phone booth in Edelstein Park. As soon as the Knight finished reading, the words on the note vanished. Soon after they entered the booth, the phone began to ring and they picked it up to hear the modulated voice of Claudine, making the Knight unable to decipher who was on the other end.

Claudine asked them what they wanted, to which the Knight explained that the Black Wings were active on Victoria Island, and that they wanted to know why. When Claudine asked if they expected the Resistance to share that information with the Cygnus Knights, the Knight pointed out that they had a common enemy. Claudine replied that she had no intention of allying with them, but as they had saved the children, she would share the information in order to make them even.

She explained that the Black Wings were directing all of Edelstein's energy towards a single spot, which had been causing rolling blackouts in the city. The blackouts were affecting the city's power plants, fish factory, lighting system, and even their water supply. She believed that the Black Wings were gathering large quantities of energy in order to fuel their top-secret experiment. She explained that the Resistance didn't know what the experiment was, but they did know that the Black Wings were stealing Seal Stones from Maple World, and she believed that the two were likely related.

The Knight confirmed the Resistance's suspicions about the experiment by telling her what Francis had said in Perion. They also told her that the Black Wings were using children as test subjects, which they had learned while saving Ulrika and the others from the Black Wings henchmen. Claudine noted that they seemed to know a lot about it, but told them that she had shared enough and ordered them to leave Edelstein as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Brighton reported to Claudine that the Black Wings might have cut off communications. He noted that the Black Wings had a presence all across Maple World, and that it would be easy for them to cut communication lines or intercept letters in areas that they physically controlled. Claudine thanked him for the information, though she added that their primary focus was still to protect Edelstein.

Into the Verne Mine[]

The Knight returned to 10 Boogies and told her everything that they had learned from the Resistance. 10 Boogies noted that even though they now knew that Francis had been gathering energy for the experiment, they still needed to know what kind of experiment was being conducted. She asked the Knight to collect Memory Chips from the Patrol Robot S monsters in order to analyze their data, as well as Rue Batteries from Safety First monsters in order to power the analysis machine.

With the materials, they began processing the chips and found surveillance of Francis in Edelstein. 10 Boogies noted that he seemed to be using a side path to enter the mine, rather than the main entrance, and wondered why a Black Wings officer wouldn't simply use the most direct route. She asked the Knight to investigate the side entrance, though she warned that it would be dangerous. Nevertheless, the Knight accepted and infiltrated the mine through the side entrance, where they found themselves in Francis' room.

The Knight hid behind a large crystal in order to eavesdrop on Francis and Baroq. Francis was complaining to Baroq that the Cygnus Knights had foiled his plans once again and wondered why they always seemed out to get him. Baroq pointed out that the Cygnus Knights weren't the only ones who targeted Francis, which he earnestly agreed to. He expressed his annoyance at everyone focusing on him, and how a new ‘hero' seemed to appear all the time in order to mess up his plans, adding that all he wanted was to be recognized by ‘her'.

Baroq realized that Francis had come through the side entrance because he had failed his mission and warned that ‘the master' wouldn't be happy. Francis replied that it wasn't that he was afraid of the master, but rather, he hated dealing with Gelimer. As the Knight overheard their conversation, they realized that they had never heard of Gelimer before.

Baroq told Francis that he didn't care for Gelimer either and added that he had heard a rumor that Gelimer had angered the master. Francis asked what had happened, to which Baroq explained that Gelimer had fallen behind his timetable once again, thus delaying the ‘resurrection'. Though it had been Gelimer's fault, Baroq added that he had been blamed as well, as the master had said that they wouldn't have gotten off-track if Baroq had managed to obtain the Seal Stone of Ereve.

After hearing their conversation, the Knight began wondering about what the Seal Stone of Ereve had to do with the 'resurrection', as well as whose resurrection it was. As the Knight moved closer to hear, they accidentally caused a disturbance, alerting Francis and Baroq to their presence. With no choice, the Knight stepped out and faced the two Black Wings officers.

Though they managed to defeat the pair, the Knight realized that both the officers were extremely powerful. The Knight asked them who Gelimer was and what the Black Wings were plotting, but Baroq merely laughed and asked if the Knight had really thought that he had used the full extent of his powers. Just then, a garrison of Black Wings henchmen appeared and surrounded the Knight, with Baroq revealing that he had been going easy on them in order to buy time.

As the Black Wings advanced on the Knight, the leaders of the Resistance arrived and quickly extracted the Knight from the cave. After reaching safety, the Knight told the Resistance what they had overheard from the Black Wings. The Resistance was pleased with the information, as it not only confirmed that Gelimer's experiments were related to resurrection, but that there was a schism within the Black Wings as well. However, they were less pleased by how the Knight had obtained that information, admonishing them for their reckless behavior, as the Black Wings would retaliate by cracking down on the citizens of Edelstein.

Though Claudine agreed with the others, she also noted that the Knight had obtained valuable information. As the other Resistance leaders headed back to base, Claudine stayed behind to let the Knight know that she had merely owed them personally a favor, not the Cygnus Knights, and that they were now even.

Before she left, she also told them that she had learned that the Black Wings were the ones who had been blocking communication between the Resistance and the Cygnus Knights. However, she added that she had only investigated in order to correct the facts, and that the Resistance had no intention of reconciliating with the Cygnus Knights. She then told them to report back to Ereve that the Cygnus Knights would never earn their trust.

Dejected, the Knight returned to 10 Boogies and told her what had happened in the mine. 10 Boogies was amazed by the Knight's bravery, noting that they had made contact with the Resistance and learned new information, all while not even being a full-fledged knight yet. She then sent them back to Ereve in order to give Neinheart their full report.

When the Knight told Neinheart of how the Resistance had reacted to the Cygnus Knights, he explained that part of a Cygnus Knight's job was to learn how to deal with animosity, adding that part of what it meant to serve their land meant facing and accepting its people's anger and resentment. The Knight protested that it hadn't even been their fault, as the Black Wings had hindered them and blocked off communications.

Neinheart told them that the day would come when the Resistance would come to see the truth about the Cygnus Knights, though he added that the Knights would need to learn to accept the Resistance's anger until then., especially because it had been the Cygnus Knights' fault for not having foreseen the Black Wings' sabotage in advance. He then told them that they should not be afraid of being criticized, as a flower could not bloom without dirt. The Knight noted how philosophical it sounded, to which Neinheart laughed that he and Mihile would spend long nights discussing philosophy, while Hawkeye merely called it hogwash. He then asked the Knight to deliver their report to the Empress.

Second Job Advancement[]

After the Knight told Cygnus about what had happened on Victoria Island and Edelstein, Cygnus noted that they had gone through a lot in such a short amount of time and thanked them for their efforts. The Knight dismissed themselves as merely a Knight-in-Training, but Cygnus told them that they were doing well, and that no one could be perfect. She explained that she herself was not old enough to fully accept Shinsoo's power, while in contrast, their enemies were getting stronger, with the Black Wings' experiments for the resurrection boding ill.

She added that their fight against the Black Wings was just the beginning, as they would be facing a greater darkness soon, for which it was imperative that the Cygnus Knights reconcile with the Resistance. She then told them to keep growing and asked them to seek out their Chief Knight. Their Chief Knight told them that they were impressed by how much they had accomplished, especially given that they were only a Knight-in-Training. They then suggested that the Knight take the Official Knighthood exam.

Once the Knight accepted, the Chief Knight asked them to go to the Second Drill Hall and defeat a clone of a Jr. Balrog, which was significantly weaker than the real one, though challenging nevertheless. The Knight defeated the clone and brought back a Proof of Knighthood, after which their Chief Knight promoted them to Official Knight. The Knight then set out to train in Victoria Island in order to hone their skills.

Riding Mimiana[]

Some time later, Neinheart contacted them and explained that it was unusual that someone who had been an Official Knight for so long would still be walking on their own feet. He wrote them a letter of introduction and told them to show it to Kiridu in the Hatchery, who would teach them to ride monsters.

At the Hatchery, Kiridu scoffed that Neinheart didn't need to write a letter, as it was obvious that anyone who was coming to see him had to be from Ereve. He explained that the Knights rode Mimianas of the Mimi race, all of whom were native to the island. He urged them to consider their Mimiana as both a friend and a comrade, rather than just a mode of transportation, explaining that creating such a bond was the very reason why the Cygnus Knights grew their Mimianas themselves.

He gave them a Mimiana egg and told them that it would develop by sharing their experiences with it. Soon after, Mimiana hatched and the Knight brought it to Kiridu. He told them that Mimiana's bones were too weak to handle a saddle, and so he told them to seek out Kenta in the Aquarium in order to obtain his Special Supplements. After paying a hefty fee, the Knight brought the supplements to Kiridu, who fed them to Mimiana and taught the Knight how to ride it, giving them a Saddle as well.

Third Job Advancement[]

The Knight then continued training diligently until they were contacted once again by Neinheart, who noted that they seemed to have made a name for themselves during their travels. He called them back to Ereve, where he asked whether they would be willing to try becoming an Advanced Knight, explaining that he wanted someone as strong as them to be an example to other Cygnus Knights about how strong they could become. He also added that as their enemies were growing stronger, it was imperative that they grow stronger as well.

Neinheart sent the Knight to meet with their Chief Knight, who agreed that they had become stronger. However, they explained that while their Official Knighthood exam had tested their strength, their Advanced Knighthood exam would test their faith. They explained that a Knight's faith was revealed when facing inner darkness, and so they sent the Knight to the Third Drill Hall, where the Knight faced their inner darkness in the form of a dark shadow. They then reported back to their Chief Knight, who was pleased and sent them to meet the Empress. Cygnus was impressed by their growth and unlocked greater power within them before promoting them to Advanced Knight.

Ancient Research[]

Soon after, Neinheart reached out to them again and noted that they had grown much stronger. He explained that he had an urgent secret mission that he normally would have only trusted a Chief Knight to undertake, but as all the Chief Knights were away on missions, he had decided to entrust it to the Knight on their Chief Knight's recommendation. He asked them to retrieve a special book from Wiz the Librarian at Helios Library, emphasizing that it was highly important.

At the library, however, Wiz told them that a group of unidentified people with strange devices and animals had demanded him to give them the book shortly before the Knight had arrived. He explained that the book was ancient and had recently been found on an old bookshelf in Helios Library. As it had been written in a strange language, he had no idea what the contents of the book were, although he added that the Cygnus Knights had asked to retrieve it upon learning that the Black Wings were trying to take it.

The Knight chased after the group and caught up with them near Ludibrium Station. They were surprised to find that the group was comprised of the Resistance leaders. The Knight asked them to hand the book over, but Claudine refused to give it up, claiming that the Cygnus Knights would only hide the book away, rather than use it against the Black Wings. However, the Knight refused to give up, explaining that it was their mission to bring the book back to Ereve.

As tensions grew higher, Black Wings henchmen suddenly arrived to seize the book. The group switched focus to fighting the Black Wings henchmen. During the battle, Claudine was injured, and just as more enemies closed in, the Knight's Chief Knight and a legion of Cygnus Knights arrived to reinforce them.

As the Resistance and the Cygnus Knights began squabbling over the book, Claudine unexpectedly ordered the others to retreat and gave the book to the Knight, claiming that it would be safer in Ereve than in Edelstein, which the Black Wings had made their base. She added that she now knew that the Knight was powerful and admitted that the Resistance wouldn't have been able to protect the book without their help. She told the Knight that as the Resistance still didn't trust them, they would be keeping watch from afar.

The Chief Knight then asked the Knight to deliver the book to Neinheart, who congratulated them on their successful mission. He thanked them for recovering the book, explaining that it was extremely important and could never fall into the hands of the Black Mage or his followers. The Knight asked what was written in the book, as Wiz had mentioned that it was in a strange language.

Neinheart told them that all he knew that it was a research journal on ancient powers. He explained that long ago, the Ancient Gods had ruled Maple World with their own laws. Though it was unknown who had written the book, nor how or why it had been written, it was clear that it had been written about powers that no longer existed in Maple World, meaning that it had to have been written countless ages ago. He explained that seemingly by chance, the book had resurfaced in Helios Library, as though someone had put a bookmark into that moment.

He explained that he had sent the Cygnus Knights to obtain the book, not because they sought the ancient power for themselves, but because they wanted to keep it out of the Black Wings' hands. He also added that their relationship with the Resistance was less than ideal, and so he hoped to arrange a place to talk with them as soon as possible.

Neinheart then sent the Knight to speak with Cygnus, who asked them about their experience with the Resistance during the mission. The Knight confessed that they and the Resistance hadn't been able to get past their differences, though Cygnus remained optimistic that reconciliation was possible. She also reminded the Knight that they were not alone and wished them well on their journey to grow stronger.

Birth of an Alliance[]

While continuing their training, the Cygnus Knight was contacted by Neinheart, who explained that the Empress was on the brink of making an important decision. Before she did, however, she wanted the counsel of each of her knights, and so all the Cygnus Knights had been ordered to return to Ereve immediately. The Knight reported to Cygnus, who thanked them for returning to see her. She told them she was afraid that despite everything that they had done, the Black Wings continued to remain a threat, with rumors stating that the Wing Master, one of the Black Mage's Commanders, had returned.

She confessed that there was a feeling inside her, as though a rumbling cloud had taken hold of her heart. She noted that the rift between Ereve and the Resistance was wider than ever, with even the Explorers beginning to lose their trust in her. She then told the Knight that she was terrified about whether she could face the Black Mage and save Maple World, and whether she even deserved to be Empress in the first place. However, she apologized for her doubts and told them that her duty as Empress was to allay doubts, not to pile hers onto those of her people. She then asked them to go to Victoria Island and collect reports from Hersha and Matthias, two of Ereve's informants, who had been dispatched to assess the state of Maple World.

In Ellinia, the Knight collected Hersha's report and asked him about what he had seen across the different regions of Maple World. Hersha explained that monsters across the world were getting more powerful, and that the Black Wings were expanding their power, creating new secret bases all across Maple World. He added that there had recently been a large abnormal fire on Maple Island, adding that the Empress had likely sensed it. The Knight quickly realized that the fire was why Cygnus had been so anxious. Hersha also added that Edelstein was under full control of the Black Wings, and that Cygnus would likely need to send in all the Cygnus Knights in an all-out war to remove them.

The Knight then went to Kerning City and met with Matthias, who explained that he had been surveying southern Ossyria, where he had learned that Ariant was suffering under tyranny and Minar Forest was being plagued by monsters. He added that though the Cygnus Knights had been created to fight the Black Mage, there were other problems in Maple World that needed their attention. He then gave the Knight his report and asked them to deliver it to Cygnus.

After collecting both reports, the Knight returned to Cygnus and told her what both informants had explained. Cygnus thanked them and explained that the Black Mage's Shadow had attacked Maple Island while the Knight had been away. She told them that she had send the Cygnus Knights alone to stop the shadow, explaining that she had believed that it was their role to help those in need by themselves. However, she explained that she had come to realize that they needed allies, which would be a difficult task to accomplish. Nevertheless, she asked them to tell Neinheart that she had made up her mind about creating an alliance.

Neinheart thanked them for bringing Cygnus' decision and asked them to help arrange the First Continental Conference. He explained that they would need to invite the Explorers, the Resistance, and the Heroes. Though there was no single leader of the Explorers, he told the Knight that Athena Pierce was highly respected amongst the community. As she had personally lived through the tyranny of the Black Mage, Neinheart hoped that she would understand the need for the alliance.

Regarding the Resistance, he explained that Claudine led the movement, though he was unsure of whether the Resistance would accept the invitation. In regard to the Heroes, he explained that they had faced the Black Mage centuries ago, and though they were merely individuals, they represented far more than that, which would bring legitimacy to the alliance. Neinheart then told the Knight to meet with the Resistance, while others would invite Athena and the Heroes. Neinheart emphasized the importance of the mission and explained that he was entrusting it to them because of their ties to the Resistance.

The Knight arrived in Edelstein to meet with Claudine and attempted to give her Cygnus' letter, but Claudine refused and claimed that she wouldn't accept any correspondence from Ereve. However, the Knight was persistent, and though Claudine acknowledged that they were strong and willing to do what was right, she claimed that she couldn't trust the rest of Ereve, especially when Cygnus remained unwilling to come down from her perch of safety and fight for the cause.

The Knight protested that the Cygnus Knights had made sacrifices, but an annoyed Claudine asked whether they even knew the meaning of sacrifice. She then asked them to accept a dangerous mission without hesitation. After the Knight accepted, she told them to go into the Verne Mine and identify the location of a laboratory where a particular child was being held, as the Resistance had no idea of the mine's internal structure. Despite knowing that they were going in alone into enemy territory with incomplete information, the Knight accepted and entered the mine.

The Knight navigated through the maze and soon encountered several children locked in a cell. Though the Knight freed them, they realized that they had entered a prison, not a laboratory, and the fact that there were multiple children when Claudine had specified only one meant that they were not the ones whom she had asked them to find. Nevertheless, the Knight escorted the children back to safety.

After Claudine treated them, she told the Knight that the children would be fine. She explained that the Black Wings had kidnapped the children from other regions of Maple World for experimentation. The Knight apologized for being unable to find the laboratory, but Claudine told them not to worry about it, explaining that they had done the right thing by helping the children. She sadly added that it hadn't been too late for them, though she refused to elaborate on her cryptic words. She then agreed to read the letter and told them that she would discuss it with the other Resistance leaders first.

After receiving unanimous confirmations, the First Continental Conference took place and the Maple Alliance was officially created.

Raising Mimio[]

Neinheart reached out to the Cygnus Knight and told them that they needed to upgrade their mount, explaining that it was unbefitting of them to still be riding a Mimiana as an Advanced Knight. He then sent them to Kiridu in order to learn enhanced monster riding. Kiridu told them that Mimiana could become a more powerful creature through shedding, though he added that it would require a special formula used for the dragons of Leafre. After obtaining the Concentrated Formula, the Knight fed it to Mimiana, which molted into Mimio.

Fourth Job Advancement[]

Soon after, Neinheart contacted the Knight and noted that they had grown very strong, with few Cygnus Knights being able to match their strength. He told them that rumors had been circulating that Cygnus and the Knights had betrayed Maple World and joined the Black Mage. Though he believed it to be absurd, he acknowledged that rumors grew stronger as more people talked about them, regardless of how ridiculous they were. He also noted that since the rumors originated from the Gate to the Future, it was possible that someone had confused a hypothetical future with reality. He asked them to investigate the rumors, but as the Temple of Time was dangerous, he told them that they would work alongside their Chief Knight. He then sent them to meet with Della, one of their informants.

At the Temple of Time, the Knight and their Chief Knight met with Della, who told them that the rumors about the Cygnus Knights betraying Maple World in the future were true, with Cygnus being known as the Axle of Evil. However, she explained that a strange black fog was coming out of the Gate to the Future, preventing both her and the Temple Keepers from entering. The Chief Knight decided that they would need to look into it themselves and asked Della about the fog. She explained that the fog pushed people away the further they entered, preventing them from catching anything more than a glimpse of the future.

The Knight and their Chief Knight arrived at the Gate to the Future, where they discovered the thick black fog emanating from beyond the door. The Knight felt as though something was calling to them, and so they entered through the door and arrived in Future Ereve, where they encountered Future Cygnus and her corrupted Chief Knights. Suddenly, the Knight began to feel an unnatural drowsiness overtaking them and lost consciousness.

They soon awoke back at the Temple of Time to the sight of their Chief Knight attempting to wake them up. Suddenly, the black fog formed tendrils of darkness that attempted to grab at the Knight. Their Chief Knight immediately pushed them aside, but the tendrils instead ensnared the Chief Knight and dragged them into the Gate to the Future. The Knight rushed in after them, but they were soon engulfed by the same unnatural sense of drowsiness. As they felt their consciousness fade away, the Knight heard Cygnus' voice calling out to them and reminding them of who they were.

The Knight was able to remain awake and found themselves in a dreamscape, where they discovered a Wightmare placing their Chief Knight into an enchanted sleep. The Knight quickly defeated the Wightmare and took their Chief Knight back to the Temple of Time. The Chief Knight awoke and thanked them for their help, explaining that the Wightmare had been trying to brainwash them by planting images into their mind. Suddenly, Della rushed over to them and explained that there was an emergency in Ereve, as the Empress had fallen.

The Knight and the Chief Knight rushed back to Ereve, where they found that the black fog had engulfed the island. They found Neinheart and the others huddled around an unconscious Cygnus and asked what had happened. Neinheart explained that the black fog had suddenly appeared, causing Cygnus to pass out right after.

He noted that the black fog was no simple attack, as it had been able to bypass both Ereve's barrier and Shinsoo's protection. Kinu, one of the Piyo training instructors, noted that Cygnus had fallen into an enchanted sleep, which the Knight realized was just like what had happened to themselves. Oz noted that Cygnus' power was fading, and that she was in grave danger, since she had not yet fully accepted Shinsoo's power.

As the Chief Knights argued about what to do, Shinsoo sensed that the Knight had learned something significant in the Gate to the Future and asked them to share it with the others. After the Knight explained how they had been ensnared by the black fog, Neinheart realized that since Cygnus' power and that of the Cygnus Knights were intertwined, the Knight being affected by the black fog may have inadvertently resulted in Cygnus experiencing the same. Neinheart told the Knight that just as they had saved their Chief Knight, they now needed to save Cygnus within her dreamscape as well.

Through the grace of Shinsoo, Neinheart sent the Knight into Cygnus' dreamscape, where they found her staring at her corrupted self through a mirror. Suddenly, Future Cygnus shattered the mirror, knocking the real Cygnus out, and emerged through the other side. The Knight immediately fought Future Cygnus and defeated her, sending both the real Cygnus and themselves back into the real world. Around them, the black fog dissipated as Cygnus awoke from her nightmare.

Some time after the incident, Neinheart thanked the Knight for their valiant efforts and noted that based on everything that he and their Chief Knight had observed, the Knight had risen to become the epitome of a Cygnus Knight, both in power and valor. He then explained that Oz had discovered that the power of the black fog had been entirely foreign, after which he asked the Knight whether they had found any clues while fighting the Wightmare and Future Cygnus. The Knight told him that they were certain that the mastermind wasn't a Black Wings member, as the Wightmare's clothes had the pattern of a butterfly, not the Black Wings' symbol.

Neinheart realized that they were likely facing a new enemy and resolved to look into them. He also told them that with the black fog having lifted from the Gate to the Future, he was planning on sending a full-scale investigation to investigate the rumors. He then told the Knight that Cygnus had something important to tell them.

The Knight went to meet Cygnus, who noted that they had grown stronger while holding true to their beliefs and never once losing their heart while protecting the weak. Because of their valor, Cygnus promoted them to Chief Knight. Soon after, their Chief Knight congratulated them for their promotion and added that they expected great things from the Knight.

The Birth of Shinjo[]

Neinheart reached out to the Knight and told them that Kiridu was looking for them, as there was a problem with Mimio. The Knight met with Kiridu, who explained that their advancement to Chief Knight posed a problem. Though Mimio grew stronger as its master did, even Mimio had its limits, and its health was quickly deteriorating as a result. Kiridu placed Mimio inside a special incubator, hoping that it would help it recover. To his shock, however, Mimio began weakening even faster. Realizing that there was no other choice, Kiridu instructed the Knight to take Mimio to Shinsoo, whose power had created every mount in Ereve.

Shinsoo told the Knight that Mimio had grown tired from its constant battles alongside them and asked them to let Mimio go. The Knight refused and began arguing with Shinsoo, claiming that they would not let go of their dear companion. However, Shinsoo soon helped the Knight understand that Mimio was in pain, and that selfishly holding onto it would only make it suffer more.

Reluctantly, the Knight agreed to give Mimio up, and Shinsoo used her power to send it back to where it came from. To her surprise, however, Mimio returned back to the Knight's side on its own. Shinsoo explained that the Knight's attachment to Mimio combined with its strong will had allowed it to manifest itself without her power. She then gave it the new name Shinjo, declaring that it no longer needed her power to stay in the world.

Cygnus Awakens[]

Some time later, Neinheart gave the Knight a special assignment to serve as part of the security detail to protect Empress Cygnus at the upcoming Alliance meeting, which was to be the first Alliance meeting held outside Ereve. Neinheart explained that he had agreed to the change in location because Cygnus needed to learn more about Maple World, which couldn't happen if she always remained in Ereve. However, he told the Knight that he refused to compromise her safety and reminded them that security needed to be iron-clad, which he could only entrust to the six Chief Knights.

Soon after, the Knight met Cygnus and her court at the Station to Ereve in the Six Path Crossway. Just as they were about to start heading to the Alliance meeting, an injured Kiku arrived at the station and explained that Ereve was under attack, and that though Shinsoo was fighting off the invaders, the situation was looking grim. Neinheart asked Kiku who had attacked Ereve, to which he explained that it was an unknown man with grey skin and purple hair.

Cygnus immediately decided that she would return along with the rest of the Chief Knights, as their forces would otherwise be split between protecting her and reinforcing Shinsoo. Neinheart agreed with her, explaining that there was a chance that the attack on Ereve could be a ruse to draw them away from Cygnus.

He decided that it would be best for them to all return to Ereve together, adding that he would postpone the Alliance meeting as well. As they prepared to debark, Neinheart began wondering what the enemy's goal could be in attacking Ereve. As they prepared to return to Ereve, the Knight wondered to themselves whether the enemy was after Cygnus or if they were after Shinsoo and the World Tree.

The Knights arrived in Ereve, only to find the entire island in ruins. For an instant, they saw Damien smirking in front of Shinsoo's body before he teleported away with Alicia. The Knights rushed ahead and found Shinsoo lying motionless, causing Cygnus to burst into tears and cry over Shinsoo's body.

Suddenly, a surge of power welled up inside her, causing a large water barrier to envelop around herself and Shinsoo. Mihile rushed forward in an attempt to save the Empress, but found that his attacks did nothing. Neinheart was shocked at the sight of Cygnus constructing a barrier with her own power, and not with Shinsoo's, which he had believed to be impossible. Within the water barrier, Cygnus experienced an awakening and a transformation. With her new powers, she touched Shinsoo's body and restored vitality to the divine beast.

Over the next few months, the Knights rebuilt Ereve after Damien's attack. Soon after, Neinheart spoke with the Knight and explained that though he didn't know much about Cygnus' new powers, her awakening had resulted in her growing much stronger than before, which, in turn, made the Cygnus Knights stronger, as they drew their strength from her. He told them that though Shinsoo would be able to tell them more, the divine bird had left Ereve for unknown reasons. He added that Cygnus was still despondent over Shinsoo's leaving, as Shinsoo was Cygnus' guiding star, just as Cygnus was to the Knights. He then asked the Knight to speak with Cygnus in order to help make her feel better.

Cygnus was pleased to see the Knight and noted how different Ereve seemed after being rebuilt. She confessed that she hadn't felt like herself since awakening her powers. She explained that Shinsoo had always mentioned that she wouldn't be the one to awaken, and that she wouldn't be ready if she did, as it had been said that her distant descendent would awaken.

She confessed that she felt unstable and feared what would happen if she couldn't control her powers, wondering whether she was the reason that Shinsoo had left. Nevertheless, Cygnus noted that her awakening had allowed her to save Shinsoo's life and make the Cygnus Knights stronger, and so she would not regret what had happened. She believed that Shinsoo would one day return to guide her, and until then, she vowed that she would use her power to bring peace to Maple World.

Soon after, the Knight heard Shinsoo's voice calling to them. Shinsoo asked them to come find her, as they deserved to know the truth. The Knight followed Shinsoo's call to Leafre, where they found the divine beast waiting for them. Shinsoo asked them if they knew about the Transcendents who maintained balance over life, light, and time. She explained that before the Transcendents, the Ancient Gods had spread rampant chaos across the universe. After the Ancient Gods had fallen, the Overseers had taken their place and created the Transcendents as agents of balance.

However, Shinsoo revealed that after many long years, the balance had been broken. She told the Knight that long ago, Cygnus' bloodline had grown intertwined with the Transcendents, such that one of her line would one day become a replacement Transcendent, should the need arise. Because of this, Shinsoo had watched over Cygnus, her ancestors, and her descendants. Though Cygnus had meant to lay the foundation for a future Transcendent-in-reserve, the shock of seeing Shinsoo at the verge of death had prematurely awakened her dormant power.

Though Cygnus was not herself a Transcendent, she wielded a portion of the Transcendent's power, which Shinsoo lamented was power that she had never been meant to control of contain. Shinsoo confessed that she had never expected such a thing to happen, adding that she had no idea what to do if that power became too much for Cygnus.

She admitted that she had little power of her own left, as she had expended most of it to build Ereve and strengthen its guardians. As a result, she feared that she didn't have enough power left to protect Cygnus. Nevertheless, she noted that her duty remained as a survivor of the Ancient War to keep the world in balance.

She explained that she was unsure whether that duty meant that she needed to separate Cygnus from her Transcendent powers or to teach her how to use it. In order to find answers, Shinsoo had left Ereve, as she feared that without those answers, Cygnus' powers would spiral out of control. She realized that Cygnus was likely worried and confused, and she added that she was sorry that she couldn't be at Cygnus' side.

She then asked the Knight if they would watch over Cygnus in her stead, believing that they had the strength to do so. After the Knight agreed, Shinsoo told them that she felt a sense of nostalgia looking at them, as the purity of their heart and their beliefs reminded her of the Noblesse. Shinsoo explained that perhaps the Knight's distant ancestors were Noblesse, or that the Knight had simply taken on the mantle themselves, but regardless, their selflessness endured in the Knight.

She explained that in the time of the Noblesse, ignorant rules had sent waves of people to their pointless deaths. Though she had done what she could to try to stop it, she had only been able to do so much. However, other had taken up the cause and had stood for peace on her behalf, and so she had given them the name ‘Noblesse'.

However, war had still taken the lives of their noble hearts, with many dying with Empress Aria and the survivors perishing in the war from 300 years ago. Shinsoo told the Knight that they and the people of Maple World would soon have enormous decisions to make and asked that their principles guide them in making those choices wisely. She then asked the Knight to help the Empress quell the chaos of the world.

Hoping to do something to help Cygnus, the Knight returned to Neinheart and told him about their conversation with Shinsoo. Neinheart was surprised to learn that Cygnus held the power of a Transcendent's reserve and asked the Knight to keep it between themselves. He added that there was much that they didn't know about Shinsoo, and so he hoped to avoid wild speculation.

He also added that their enemies wouldn't give them the luxury of time, and that between the Black Wings, the Commanders, and the Black Mage himself, the Alliance needed to be as strong as possible. However, he noted that the Knight was living proof of how strong they could become and asked them to stay the course.

Temple of Time[]

While exploring the Temple of Time, the Cygnus Knight's memories were drained by Dodo. After being told by the Record Keeper to return to where their adventure began, the Explorer decided to return to Ereve and spoke with Neinheart, who was surprised that they want to reminisce about good memories. Neinheart explained that he didn't know whether there even were any good memories between them, though he recalled the first time that the Knight came to Ereve. He told the Knight that they had merely been an aspirant knight who had been so sure that they'd defeat the Black Mage, which he had found awkward to hear at the time. He then supposed that it counts as a memory of sort.

Final Quest[]

Cygnus reached out to the Knight and told them that despite Shinsoo having left Ereve, the divine bird had told her about the Knight's exploits and strength. She invited the Knight to Ereve, where she reminisced about how clueless they had been during their first day of training in Ereve, and how they had now become on par with the Chief Knights.

She then explained that she and Shinsoo were both in agreement to have them become the sixth Chief Knight. She told the Knight that they were a star in a world of darkness. When the sun shone, the stars hid, unneeded, but when darkness bloomed, as it did with the threat of the Black Mage, the stars became their guide. Cygnus then asked the Knight to visit her more often, as Ereve felt lonely with Shinsoo gone.

Fifth Job Advancement[]

Upon entering the Erda Flow and meeting with the Goddess of Maple World, the Goddess asks the player what it is that they cherish most in the world. Cygnus Knights get to choose between Empress Cygnus or the Chief Knight who trained them.

Black Heaven[]

The day before the operation, Empress Cygnus addressed her knights and told them that Gelimer was on his way to Henesys. Though she warned that the battle would be difficult, she also reminded them that they were the guardians of Maple World as Cygnus Knights, rallying them behind her banner.

Each of the Cygnus Knight branches gets a unique line from their instructor as well:

  • For Dawn Warriors, Mihile tells them that Dawn Warriors never stop and asks them to become a sword of light for the Empress.
  • For Blaze Wizards, Oz tells them to just shoot and make things explode, joking that the enemy ships are so big that even a casual shot would hit them all.
  • For Wind Archers, Irena tells them that in aerial combat, a Wind Archer is in their natural element.
  • For Night Walkers, Eckhart simple tells them not to reveal themselves to the enemy.
  • For Thunder Breakers, Hawkeye tells them that those who fall behind will be left behind, and so he tells them to make sure to keep up.

After Athena Pierce and the player fight their way to the main deck, Athena gives a word of encouragement to the player as they charge into battle, which depends on their class. For Cygnus Knights, Athena tells them to show their enemies the power of the Cygnus Knights.

Vanishing Journey[]

After the player defeats Arma, Kao will speak to the player while being carried through the cave. For Cygnus Knights, Kao tells the player to seize the opportunity and to carry out the Empress' will to protect the world. Kao explains that they had lost their memories in the fight against the Black Mage and had forgotten the promise that they had made to the Empress, because of which, they believe that they no longer have the right to call themselves a Knight.

Esfera[]

When Ollie introduces herself to the Adversary, Cygnus Knights get exclusive dialogue, in which she says that it's an honor to be able to help them, adding that the Adversary is someone that she's only heard of. She then says that she's been practicing hard in order to distinguish herself.

Moonbridge[]

Shortly before the Alliance fleet takes off, the player will meet with Empress Cygnus, who tells them that the emblems of the Alliance being distributed to their soldiers represents their mutual trust and the courage to stand against evil. She then shows them the jewel on her wrist that Shinsoo had given her and explains that as commander, it is her duty to nurture that trust and courage, adding that she is determined to do just that. Cygnus Knights get exclusive dialogue, in which they vow that they'll protect the Empress with that same determination.

At the end of the Moonbridge storyline, Cygnus Knights get an extra quest with Neinheart, who asks them if they had seen the light that the Empress had wielded to block Gloom's attack. He notes that her power was much stronger than what she had used to save Shinsoo after Damien's attack.

He reminds the player that the Cygnus Knights' power is directly linked to that of the Empress, to which the player notes that they can feel a surge of strength within themselves. Neinheart explains that though he doesn't know what this means for the future, the boost in power is nevertheless helpful for their current situation. Following this conversation, Cygnus Knights' 5th job skill “Empress Cygnus's Blessing” gets upgraded into “Transcendent Cygnus's Blessing”.

Labyrinth of Suffering[]

After Cygnus tells Neinheart that she will lead the fleet into Tenebris in the Adversary's place, Cygnus Knights get exclusive dialogue, in which they note to themselves that the Empress has grown much stronger, and that they'll support her as best as they can.

When the player first meets with Azalin - Hilla disguised as a Night Walker - she tells the player that as a Knight, she's always looked up to their example, and that she'd always wonder if it was even possible to be like them. Upon finally meeting them, however, she laughs that they're more ordinary than she'd expected. The Knight gets offended and wonders to themselves what she's implying, to which she asks if she's hit a nerve before adding that she didn't mean it, and that she'd just been thinking out loud.

After the Adversary collapses into despair as a result of Hilla's machinations, they pass out in a void of darkness within their own mind. As their morale and strength threaten to diminish completely, the mysterious divine light speaks to them in the form of someone close to them and provides them motivation to continue.

For Cygnus Knights, the voice of Empress Cygnus asks them why they risk their life to save others. The Knight tells her that it's because everyone is that precious to them, to which Cygnus asks them why they care so much for Maple World, and what their purpose is. The Knight replies that Maple World is the home where their loved ones live, and that it's a precious place, filled with all their memories.

Cygnus asks them if they can remember what they need to do now, to which the Knight begins to say hopelessly that everyone is already dead, and they have nowhere to go back to, as everyone - all the knights who had placed their faith in them - have been killed right before their eyes. They add that there's nothing that they can do, and that they're completely helpless.

They then ask what else they can do, to which Cygnus tells them to open their eyes and see for themselves, explaining that even if Hilla covers their eyes, she can never cover the truth. She asks them to open their eyes, pick themselves up, and do what they have to do, reminding them that all roads exist inside their heart, and to never forget that. As the voice fades away, the Knight recognizes the voice as belonging to Empress Cygnus.

Limina[]

When the Adversary faces the Black Mage, he tells them that their path has always been preordained. In response to his words, Cygnus Knights vow that they'll transcend the destiny that he's created for the sake of the Empress and for Maple World.

After the Adversary scatters into Erda after killing the Black Mage, they awaken in the Erda Flow, where the White Mage thanks them for putting an end to the battle and helping him liberate the world from the influence of the Overseers. After the conversation, the Adversary will return back to the real world. As they do, the White Mage will give them a unique title based on their class; the title he gives to Cygnus Knights is "Brave Knight of the Empress".

After the final battle, the Adversary will return back to the Outpost and speak with Neinheart and the other leaders of the Alliance. For Cygnus Knights, Neinheart tells them that everyone in Maple World is grateful to them, adding that it's thanks to them that the Alliance was able to rally around Cygnus, who led them to victory. Cygnus agrees and notes that it's thanks to them that they were able to gain everyone's trust and unite as one.

Aftermath[]

In Ereve, Empress Cygnus addressed her Knights and thanked them all for their bravery. She then asked if they were willing to continue following her in the fight against evil, which garnered a rallying cry for Cygnus. Neinheart personally thanked the Cygnus Knight for their dedication and asked if they would honor them with their support in a time of peace. The Knight told Neinheart that they considered it the highest honor to serve the Empress for as long as they were needed.

Hotel Arcus[]

When the player first encounters Irena in Hotel Arcus, Wind Archers get exclusive dialogue, in which they express their surprise to see Irena. Irena greets them and notes that it's their first time being dispatched on a mission together.

When Belle expresses her surprise at Irena being unable to distinguish between different types of screwdrivers, Irena retorts that though that might be common knowledge in a group obsessed with machines like the Resistance, it wasn't something that the Cygnus Knights concerned themselves with. For Cygnus Knights, Irena will ask them to agree with her, to which they respond by telling her not to bring them into it.

Odium[]

When Claudine notes that the Resistance has many people to thank for securing Edelstein's freedom, Cygnus Knights get exclusive dialogue, in which she explains that though she still hasn't forgiven the Knights for their old betrayal, the Resistance would've lost if they had tried doing everything themselves. She notes that it must've been hard for the Knight especially, with reconciling between the Cygnus Knights and the Resistance, for which she thanks them.

When the Adversary comes up with a plan to distract the Angler Company forces so that Brighton and Oz can attack from either side, if the player is a Blaze Wizard, Oz will praise their skills and note that they've been a good student.

Arteria[]

Before the Adversary leaves to rescue Cygnus, Shinsoo calls to the Adversary and addresses them with a unique title based on their class; the title she gives to Cygnus Knights is "Brave knight of the Empress".

When the Adversary arrives at Shinsoo's Refuge in order to visit a comatose Cygnus, Cygnus Knights get exclusive dialogue, in which Shinsoo greets them as the Empress' knight.

Cygnus Knight Class Storyline (Old, Pre-Ignition)[]

Main Story[]

The Noblesse[]

A Noblesse arrived in Ereve, hoping to become a Cygnus Knight. They were first led to the Knight's Orientation, where a ceremony was being held to welcome those who wished to join the ranks of the Cygnus Knights. After the welcoming ceremony, they were put through basic training in order to become stronger, after which they picked a branch of the Cygnus Knights to join, thus becoming a Knight-in-Training.

For their first assignment, Neinheart told them to assist 10 Boogies with whatever tasks she required them to complete. 10 Boogies told them that she had lost the investigation permits she needed to distribute to the new Knights and asked them to help her find them. After retracing her steps, she led them to the Tiguru monsters, from which the Knight obtained the lost permits.

After reporting back, Neinheart told them that Baroq the Master of Disguise had stolen an important treasure of Ereve and tasked them with identifying and defeating him. The Knight successfully found Baroq disguised as one of their basic training instructors and recovered the treasure.

Neinheart was impressed by their skill and told them that the entire thing was merely a test based on an actual incident from when Baroq had tried to steal the treasure of Ereve, which had been averted due to the intervention of the Chief Knights. The incident inspired Neinheart to use it as a training device in order to teach young Knights to never to let their guard down and to develop lateral thinking skills.

Victoria Island Dispatch[]

He then assigned them their first real mission, which was to go to Victoria Island and investigate rumors of Francis the Puppeteer's return. In Henesys, they met with their contact, Roca, who told them about Francis and his power to control monsters with puppets. He explained that Neinheart wanted them to hunt for traces of the Puppeteer's past before trying to find him and suggested that they investigate the Orange Mushrooms.

There, the Knight encountered Cynical Orange Mushrooms and discovered puppets planted inside them. Roca told them that the Cygnus Knights had fought Francis once before, but it was clear that he still hadn't given up. Roca told them that the Horny Mushrooms had recently started behaving strangely and asked them to bring back any puppets controlling them.

After recovering the puppets, Roca told them that Pia had been talking about the Horny Mushrooms and suggested that they go talk to her. Pia told them that she had seen Horny Mushrooms in the town itself, somewhere near Henesys Park. After investigating the area, the Knight found Angry Horny Mushrooms and discovered puppets controlling them.

They reported back to Roca, who was thankful that the Angry Horny Mushrooms weren't too strong, though he wondered whether their invasion of Henesys was part of Francis' plan and told them to meet up with 10 Boogies in Perion in order ask her for backup.

10 Boogies told them that her Puppeteer Detector had been going haywire and asked the Knight to investigate where the signal was coming from. They investigated the Southern Ridge of Perion and encountered Berserk Ghost Stumps. After defeating them, the Knight returning to 10 Boogies, who speculated that Francis may have wanted to launch an attack.

Just then, she detected another surge of activity from the Rocky Wasteland, which was even closer to Perion. She wondered whether it was a trap set by Francis, but nevertheless, she asked the Knight to investigate the surge in order to defend Perion. There, the Knight discovered a cave guarded by hostile puppets.

After defeating the puppets, Francis himself emerged, who began complaining that taking both Perion and Henesys was too difficult, and that he needed to collect energy to send back to Edelstein, though he was always being told that what he was sending back wasn't enough. The Knight then managed to defeat him and returned to inform 10 Boogies of their victory.

10 Boogies was curious about Francis' words and realized that the fact that he seemed to be continuing such a futile endeavor meant that the Black Wings were desperate for energy. She then had them return to Ereve and report to Neinheart, who was pleased that they were able to defeat Francis with ease, informing them that Francis was the lowest-ranking Black Wings officer, and so the others would be much more difficult to defeat.

He then told them that he was dispatching them to Edelstein in order to infiltrate the Black Wings and gather information. However, he warned them that, even though they may encounter members of the Resistance, they shouldn't expect any help from them.

Investigating Edelstein[]

The Knight traveled to Edelstein and rendezvoused with 10 Boogies, who was undercover as well. She told them that some of the local children had covered her in bugs while she was asleep and stolen her belongings. She asked the Knight to get them back, who managed to obtain the items from the children, all of whom expressed animosity towards the Cygnus Knights.

10 Boogies was relieved to get her belongings back and warned them not to underestimate the hatred for the Cygnus Knights in Edelstein. She explained the story behind why the Resistance hated the Cygnus Knights, and why even the citizens of Edelstein viewed them as traitors. She then told the Knight that she had been sent to work with the citizens of Edelstein to uncover the Black Wings' plan, but since they already knew she was a Cygnus Knight, there was nothing more that she could do, meaning that the Knight would need to take her place.

To test their strength, she asked them to eliminate Water Thief Monsters, after which she told them that their mission was to gather information by speaking with the townspeople, warning them to be careful not to let them know that they were a Cygnus Knight.

In town, the Knight spoke with Checky, Brighton, Elex, and Belle, all of whom rebuffed them. They then spoke with Claudine, who told them that one of the children who had stolen 10 Boogies' belongings back was her sister Ulrika, and that she had told Claudine that the Knight had claimed not to be a Cygnus Knight while recovering 10 Boogies' belongings.

When she asked whether that was true, the Knight decided to be honest and revealed themselves as a Cygnus Knight. Claudine told them that the Knights didn't understand Edelstein's circumstances, and that lies and secrets only led to unnecessary complications while staying vigilant around the Black Wings. The Knight told Claudine that they had come to gather information. Claudine told them that they were free to do so, but warned them to give up on befriending the people of Edelstein.

As the Knight walked away, Ulrika called them over and explained that she had learned about their investigation, and that she was prepared to make a deal with them. Claiming to be a member of the Resistance, she offered to reveal their hideout in exchange for Black Plastic Bags from Dust Boxes. The Knight brought the bags to Ulrika, who was pleased that she could turn in her homework.

She then told them that they needed to do one more task, which was to collect Streetlight Bulbs. They brought the bulbs back to Ulrika, who was glad that she would be able to finish her science project. However, she realized that the bulbs they had brought back didn't work and forced them collect more. Having received working bulbs, Ulrika gave them supposed directions to the Resistance hideout.

As the Knight followed Ulrika's directions, she and her friends prepared to ambush the Knight by setting bugs on them, just as they had done with 10 Boogies. Upon hearing footsteps, they jumped out to launch their surprise attack, but quickly realized that Black Wings henchmen had appeared instead. The henchmen told them that pretending to be Resistance members was just as bad as being actual members, and so they decided to rough them up.

Just then, the Knight arrived and found the henchmen advancing on the kids. They quickly defeated the henchmen and escorted the kids to Checky in order to ensure their safety. The kids apologized for tricking them and thanked the Knight for saving them. Checky also genuinely thanked them for saving the kids, even after the way the townspeople had treated them. Checky then gave them a message to go to Edelstein Park and find a phone booth, where they were to dial the number 583-11297.

After calling the number, the modulated voice of Claudine asked them what they wanted, to which the Knight explained that the Black Wings were active on Victoria Island, and that they wanted to know why. When Claudine asked if they expected the Resistance to share that information with the Cygnus Knights, the Knight pointed out that they had a common enemy.

Claudine replied that she had no intention of allying with them, but as the they had saved the children, she would share the information in order to make them even. She explained that the Black Wings were directing all of Edelstein's energy towards a single spot, which had been causing rolling blackouts in the city. The blackouts were affecting the city's power plants, fish factory, lighting system, and even their water supply, all of which was to fuel the Black Wings' top secret experiment.

She explained that the Resistance didn't know what the experiment was, but they did know that the Black Wings were stealing Seal Stones from Maple World, and she believed that the two were likely related. With this, she told the Knight that the Resistance's debt had been paid and suggested that they go home.

Into the Verne Mine[]

The Knight returned to 10 Boogies and told her everything they had learned from the Resistance. 10 Boogies wondered whether Francis was involved with the top-secret experiment and supposed that it was a good thing that they stopped him. To further investigate the experiments, she asked the Knight to collect Memory Chips from the Patrol Robot S monsters in order to analyze their data, as well as Rue Batteries from Safety First monsters as power while their machine analyzed the data.

With the materials, they began processing the chips and found that most of the data had been corrupted, though they were able to isolate an image of Francis in Edelstein. 10 Boogies noted that he seemed to be using a side path to enter the mine, rather than the main entrance. She asked the Knight to investigate the side entrance, warning that it would be dangerous.

The Knight infiltrated the mine and found themselves in Francis' room, where they hid behind a large crystal in order to eavesdrop on Francis and Baroq, who were having a conversation. Francis complained to Baroq that the Cygnus Knights had foiled his plans once again and wondered why they always seemed out to get him. Baroq pointed out that the Cygnus Knights weren't the only ones who targeted Francis, which he earnestly agreed to.

He expressed his annoyance at everyone focusing on him, and how a new “hero” seemed to appear all the time in order to mess up his plans, adding that all he wanted was to be recognized by “her”. Baroq reminded him that “the master” only recognized the worthy, and that Francis seemed to have failed them, asking whether that was the reason why he sat cowering in the Secret Passageway. Francis told him that it wasn't that he was afraid of the master, but that he hated dealing with Gelimer.

As the Knight overheard their conversation, they noted that they had never heard of Gelimer before. Baroq told Francis that he didn't care for Gelimer either and added that he heard a rumor that Gelimer had angered the master. Francis asked what had happened, to which Baroq explained that Gelimer had fallen behind his timetable once again, thus delaying the resurrection. Though it was Gelimer's fault, Baroq added that he had been blamed as well, as the master had said that they wouldn't have gotten off-track if Baroq had managed to obtain the Seal Stone of Ereve.

After hearing their conversation, the Knight realized that Gelimer's experiments had something to do with resurrection, leading them to conclude that the Black Wings had to be attempting to bring back the Black Mage, as there was no one else they could think of whom the Black Wings would want to resurrect. Just then, the Knight accidentally caused a disturbance, alerting Francis and Baroq to their presence. With no choice, the Knight stepped out and faced the two Black Wings officers.

Though they managed to defeat the pair, the Knight realized that they were both extremely powerful. The Knight asked them who Gelimer was and what the Black Wings were plotting, but Baroq merely laughed and asked if the Knight really thought that he had used the full extent of his powers. Just then, a garrison of Black Wings henchmen appeared and surrounded the Knight, with Baroq revealing that he had gone easy on them in order to buy time. As the Black Wings advanced on the Knight, the leaders of the Resistance arrived and quickly extracted the Knight before disappearing.

After reaching safety, the Knight told the Resistance what they had overheard from the Black Wings. The Resistance was pleased with the information, as it not only confirmed that Gelimer's experiments were related to resurrection, but that there was a schism between the Black Wings. However, they were less pleased with how the Knight had obtained that information, admonishing them for their risky behavior.

Claudine then told the other Resistance leaders to return back to base, reminding them that they had a job to do. Before she left, Claudine told the Knight that the Resistance had only bailed them out in order to even things between them and told them to report back to Ereve that the Cygnus Knights would never earn their trust.

Dejected, the Knight returned to 10 Boogies and told her what happened in the mine. 10 Boogies was amazed by the Knight's bravery and believed that they were destined for greatness. She then sent them back to Ereve to give Neinheart their full report. When the Knight told Neinheart of the Resistance's treatment, he explained that part of a Cygnus Knight's job was to learn how to deal with animosity, especially when it was justified. However, he told them that they should be pleased that they successfully completed their mission.

On a more serious note, however, he told them that the Empress could not yet fully control the power of Shinsoo, meaning that the Cygnus Knights' strength was just as unstable, as their power ultimately stemmed from the Empress. Neinheart was troubled that the Black Wings were growing stronger and reminded the Knight to be prepared, adding that it would be all the better if they could make amends with the Resistance.

Second Job Advancement[]

He then told them that they had done surprisingly well on their mission and recommended that they take the Knighthood Exam to graduate from a Knight-in-Training to a full-fledged knight. They reported to their Chief Knight, who told them that their examination would be to defeat the Tigurus of Exam in the Second Drill Hall. After passing, the Knight was promoted to Official Knighthood and set out to train in Victoria Island in order to hone their skills.

Riding Mimiana[]

Some time later, Neinheart contacted them and explained that it was unusual that someone who had been an Official Knight for so long would still be walking on their own feet. He wrote them a letter of introduction and told them to show it to Kiridu in the Hatchery, who would teach them to ride monsters.

At the Hatchery, Kiridu scoffed that Neinheart didn't need to write a letter, as it was obvious that anyone who was coming to see him had to be from Ereve. He explained that the Knights rode Mimianas of the Mimi race, all of whom were native to the island. He urged them to consider their Mimiana as both a friend and a comrade, rather than just a mode of transportation, explaining that creating such a bond was the very reason why the Cygnus Knights grew their Mimianas themselves.

He gave them a Mimiana egg and told them that it would develop by sharing their experiences with it. Soon after, Mimiana hatched and the Knight brought it to Kiridu. He told them that Mimiana's bones were too weak to handle a saddle, and so he told them to seek out Kenta in the Aquarium in order to obtain his Special Supplements. After paying a hefty fee, the Knight brought the supplements to Kiridu, who fed them to Mimiana and taught the Knight how to ride it, giving them a Saddle as well.

Third Job Advancement[]

The Knight then continued training diligently, and were soon contacted by Neinheart, who gave them a mission which he mentioned needed to be completed both quickly and discreetly, and asked them to retrieve a book from Wiz the Librarian at Helios Tower. At the Helios Library, Wiz told them that he had encountered a special tome called the Book of Ancient, which he quickly realized had been instrumental in the war from 300 years ago. Because of this, he had immediately contacted the Cygnus Knights and asked them to retrieve the book.

He told the Knight to go to his secret library, where he was keeping the book safe. The Knight found the Book of Ancient, but upon opening it, they found it completely undecipherable, as it had been written in a strange language. Just then, Black Wings henchmen appeared and attempted to steal the book from them.

After the Knight fought them off, Hawkeye appeared and explained that he rushed over after learning of the Black Wings' plot to steal the Book of Ancient, adding that he was impressed with the way the Knight handled the matter. After returning to Ereve, the Knight delivered the book to Neinheart, who told them that the Book of Ancient was supremely important and applauded them for fending off the Black Wings, claiming that things would have been dire had it fallen into their hands. Having proven themselves, and with the Empress' blessing, Neinheart promoted them to Advanced Knight.

Birth of an Alliance[]

While continuing their training, the Cygnus Knight was contacted by Neinheart, who explained that the Empress was on the brink of making an important decision. Before she did, however, she wanted the counsel of each of her knights, and so all the Cygnus Knights had been ordered to return to Ereve immediately.

The Knight reported to Cygnus, who thanked them for returning to see her. She told them she was afraid that, despite everything they had done, the Black Mage's threat continued to grow. She also confessed that she hadn't been as strong of a leader as Maple World needed. With the Black Wings still holding Edelstein and rumors of Orchid's return, their enemies continued to grow stronger while the rift between Ereve and the Resistance was wider than ever, with even the Explorers beginning to lose their trust in her.

She had also heard rumors from the Temple of Time that people were calling the Cygnus Knights traitors. Because of this, she was crestfallen that she had failed to earn the trust of Maple World and asked them to go to the Temple of Time in order to meet with one of her agents, Della, and collect her report on why the Cygnus Knights were being called traitors. She told them that, once she had heard the source of the rumor, she would decide on the future course of the Cygnus Knights.

After traveling to the Temple of Time, the Knight met with Della, who told them that inside the Gate to the Future, Cygnus had sent the Knights to attack the people of Maple World, resulting in her being known as the Axle of Evil. However, she noted that something seemed off, as not only would Cygnus never betray her people, but Shinsoo's voice also seemed strange there as well. Because of this, Della was planning to go back inside to investigate, but told them to give her report to Cygnus. The Knight returned to Ereve and gave Della's report to Cygnus, who was shocked at the future that awaited her.

Soon after, Cygnus summoned several Knights and told them that, despite how difficult it would be, she strongly believed that forming an alliance would be the best thing for Maple World and asked them to tell Neinheart of her decision. After being informed that Cygnus had made up her mind, Neinheart asked the Knights to invite the other major powers of Maple World to the upcoming conference.[1]

The first Knight was asked to invite the Explorers' Guild by giving Neinheart's letter to Athena Pierce. As she had lived through the Black Mage's tyranny, Neinheart hoped that she would understand the necessity of the conference. In Henesys, Athena thanked them for the invitation and told them that she would see them at the conference.

A second Knight arrived to deliver the Empress' invitation to Claudine. They found her in her public guise in Edelstein, but she refused to read the letter, claiming that the Cygnus Knights had nothing to say that she wanted to hear. However, the Knight was persistent and Claudine agreed to read the letter if they did her a favor.

She told them to go into the Verne Mine and look for a laboratory there, explaining that they would find a cave hidden behind the mine and told them to listen for a voice. The Knight followed Claudine's instructions and arrived at Gelimer's lab, where they heard Vita's voice. After confirming with Claudine that they had heard a voice, she then agreed to read the letter and told them that she would discuss the proposed alliance with the other Resistance leaders.

A third Knight arrived at Rien, where Neinheart had instructed them to find his sister Lilin, explaining that, in addition to the Explorers and the Resistance, they also needed to invite others who could garner respect for their cause. He believed that the legendary hero Aran could boost their alliance's legitimacy through her status. The Knight delivered the letter to Lilin, who was pleased by the news and told them to expect Aran at the conference. After receiving unanimous confirmations, the First Continental Conference took place and the Maple Alliance was officially created.

Raising Mimio[]

Neinheart reached out to the Cygnus Knight and told them that they needed to upgrade their mount, explaining that it was unbefitting of them to still be riding a Mimiana as an Advanced Knight. He then sent them to Kiridu in order to learn enhanced monster riding. Kiridu told them that Mimiana could become a more powerful creature through shedding, though he added that it would require a special formula used for the dragons of Leafre. After obtaining the Concentrated Formula, the Knight fed it to Mimiana, which molted into Mimio.

Fourth Job Advancement[]

Some time later, Neinheart told them that he had received word that members of the Black Wings had been spotted around The Grave of a Wrecked Ship in the Deep Sea of Aqua Road and asked them investigate. When the Knight arrived, they encountered Wightmares, who laughed that the Black Mage soon return. Just as the Knight began to attack, they fell into a deep sleep and found themselves in a dreamscape. Just then, Hawkeye arrived and woke the Knight up, explaining that he had found them knocked out.

After the Knight explained what had happened, Hawkeye recommended that they return to Ereve and inform Neinheart, reassuring them that he would continue investigating in their place. Though Neinheart was dubious of the Knight's story, he trusted Hawkeye to find the details and told them to report to the Empress. To their surprise, the Knight found Cygnus in a deep slumber. When they touched her, they were transported to the dreamscape once again, where they found Cygnus looking in a mirror, with the Future Cygnus from the Gate to the Future staring back at her.

Just then, the mirror was shattered open and Cygnus was knocked out. From the other side, the Future Cygnus appeared and attempted to attack her. The Knight fought off the Future Cygnus, causing the real Cygnus to awaken, transporting them back to Ereve. Cygnus thanked the Knight for reviving her, but when they assured her that she could count on them, Cygnus told them that she wished that she could be of greater help, lamenting that she was too weak.

The Knight told her not to say that, adding that she was a huge help just by serving as their Empress. Cygnus asked them not to share her doubts with the other knights or with Neinheart, as she believed that they would only worry needlessly. The Knight then gave her Neinheart's report, and when Cygnus opened it, she laughed and explained that it was actually Neinheart's recommendation to promote them, adding that Neinheart's words were positively glowing. Cygnus then promoted them to Captain Knight.

The Birth of Shinjo[]

Neinheart reached out to the Knight and told them that Kiridu was looking for them, as there was a problem with Mimio. The Knight met with Kiridu, who explained that their advancement to Captain Knight posed a problem. Though Mimio grew stronger as its master did, even Mimio had its limits, and its health was quickly deteriorating as a result. Kiridu placed Mimio inside a special incubator, hoping that it would help it recover. To his shock, however, Mimio began weakening even faster. Realizing that there was no other choice, Kiridu instructed the Knight to take Mimio to Shinsoo, whose power had created every mount in Ereve.

Shinsoo told the Knight that Mimio had grown tired from its constant battles alongside them and asked them to let Mimio go. The Knight refused and began arguing with Shinsoo, claiming that they would not let go of their dear companion. However, Shinsoo soon helped the Knight understand that Mimio was in pain, and that selfishly holding onto it would only make it suffer more.

Reluctantly, the Knight agreed to give Mimio up, and Shinsoo used her power to send it back to where it came from. To her surprise, however, Mimio returned back to the Knight's side on its own. Shinsoo explained that the Knight's attachment to Mimio combined with its strong will had allowed it to manifest itself without her power. She then gave it the new name Shinjo, declaring that it no longer needed her power to stay in the world.

Cygnus Awakens[]

Some time later, Neinheart gave the Knight a special assignment to serve as part of the security detail to protect Empress Cygnus at the next Alliance meeting, which was to be the first Alliance meeting held outside Ereve. Neinheart had agreed to the change in location because Cygnus needed to learn more about Maple World, which could not happen if she always remained in Ereve.

However, he refused to compromise her safety and reminded the Knight that security needed to be iron-clad. The Knight met Cygnus and her court at the Station to Ereve on the Six Path Crossway. Just as they were about to head to the Alliance meeting, Neinheart saw that Kiku had arrived, and that he was injured.

Kiku told them that Ereve had been attacked. He explained that Shinsoo was fighting off the invaders, but that the situation seemed bad. Neinheart asked Kiku who had attacked Ereve, to which Kiku said that it was an unknown man with grey skin and purple hair. Cygnus decided that she would return along with the rest of the Chief Knights.

They wondered whether it was a good idea, but Neinheart explained that the attack on Ereve could be a decoy to draw the Chief Knights away from Cygnus. He decided that they would all return to Ereve and postpone the Alliance meeting. Neinheart wondered what the enemy's goal could be in attacking Ereve, if not a trap. He wondered whether they were after the World Tree, but thought that fighting Shinsoo just to take the World Tree was too risky a plan.

Just then, the Knights arrived in Ereve, only to find the entire island in ruins. For an instant, they saw Damien smirking in front of Shinsoo's body before he teleported away with Alicia. The Knights rushed ahead and found Shinsoo lying motionless, causing Cygnus to burst into tears and cry over Shinsoo's body.

Suddenly, a surge of power welled up inside her, causing a large water barrier to envelop around herself and Shinsoo. Mihile rushed forward in an attempt to save the Empress, but found that his attacks did nothing. Neinheart was shocked at the sight of Cygnus constructing a barrier with her own power, and not with Shinsoo's, which he had believed to be impossible. Within the water barrier, Cygnus experienced an awakening and a transformation. With her new powers, she touched Shinsoo's body and restored vitality to the divine beast.

Over the next few months, the Knights rebuilt the city after Damien's attack. Neinheart spoke with the Knight and explained that after Cygnus' awakening, her new power meant that the Cygnus Knights, who drew their strength from her, had also become stronger. He told them that he would have preferred that Shinsoo fill them in on the details, though that was no longer possible, as Shinsoo had left Ereve soon after Cygnus had saved her life. He wondered how the Empress was taking it, as the two had never been separated since her coronation. He then asked them to go see the Empress, as he believed that it would make her happy.

Sure enough, Cygnus was pleased to see the Knight and commented on how different Ereve was. She told them that she hadn't been feeling like herself as of late. She explained that her powers had awakened when she thought that Shinsoo had died, though things were now much different. She also explained that Shinsoo had once told her that her descendent would be the one to awaken, but against all expectations, it had been herself. She told the Knight that she didn't know how this twist of events would turn out and confessed that she felt unstable.

She explained that she was afraid of whether she had caused her awakening to happen and wondered if that had driven Shinsoo to leave her. Though she felt guilty, she told the Knight that she still didn't regret what had happened, as her awakening had allowed her to both save Shinsoo and give strength to the Knights. She decided that she wouldn't ponder on whether she was the cause, and that she believed that Shinsoo would one day return to guide her. Until then, she vowed that she would use her power to bring peace to Maple World.

Soon after, the Knight heard Shinsoo's voice calling to them. Shinsoo asked them to come find her, claiming that they deserved to know the truth. The Knight followed Shinsoo's call to Leafre, where they found the divine beast waiting for them. Shinsoo asked them if they knew about the Transcendents who maintained balance over life, light, and time. She then explained that there was a fourth Transcendent who was destined to be born in the future.

Shinsoo also explained that her true purpose was not to guide Cygnus, but to ensure that the fourth Transcendent would one day awaken. She told the Knight that Maple World was not yet ready for its fourth Transcendent, which was why Cygnus' descendent had been fated to be the fourth. However, because of Shinsoo's defeat at Damien's hands, the latent powers of the Transcendent had awakened within Cygnus, though Shinsoo feared that the Empress was too young to handle her Transcendent powers.

She explained that the turn of events had changed everything, as Cygnus had imperfectly awakened. Though she could use some of her Transcendent powers, she was not fully one of them. Shinsoo told the Knight that she didn't know what would happen to Cygnus, and that she feared that Cygnus wouldn't survive unscathed. She explained that she had left Ereve in order to find a way to either suppress and revert Cygnus, or to complete Cygnus' awakening so that she could help Cygnus before she got hurt.

Shinsoo told the Knight that she realized that Cygnus was likely worried and confused, adding that she was sorry that she could not be at Cygnus' side. She then asked the Knight if they would watch over Cygnus in her stead, believing that they had the strength to do so. She then gave the Knight her blessing, granting them a new power that would allow them to better protect their Empress.

Temple of Time[]

While exploring the Temple of Time, the Cygnus Knight's memories were drained by Dodo. After being told by the Record Keeper to return to where their adventure began, the Knight decided to return to Ereve and spoke with Neinheart, who was surprised that they wanted to reminisce about good memories. Neinheart explained that he didn't know whether there even were any good memories between them, though he recalled the first time that the Knight came to Ereve. He told the Knight that they had merely been an aspirant knight who had been so sure that they'd defeat the Black Mage, which he had found awkward to hear at the time. He then supposed that it counts as a memory of sort.

Final Quest[]

Cygnus summoned the Knight to Ereve and told them how Shinsoo had spoken of their exploits and strength. She reminisced about how clueless they had been during their first day of training in Ereve and how they had now become on par with the Chief Knights. With Shinsoo's agreement, Cygnus made the Cygnus Knight the sixth Chief Knight of Ereve.

Black Heaven[]

The day before the operation, Empress Cygnus addressed her knights and told them that Gelimer was on his way to Henesys. Though she warned that the battle would be difficult, she also reminded them that they were the guardians of Maple World as Cygnus Knights, rallying them behind her banner.

Each of the Cygnus Knight branches gets a unique line from their instructor as well:

  • For Dawn Warriors, Mihile tells them that Dawn Warriors never stop and asks them to become a sword of light for the Empress.
  • For Blaze Wizards, Oz tells them to just shoot and make things explode, joking that the enemy ships are so big that even a casual shot would hit them all.
  • For Wind Archers, Irena tells them that in aerial combat, a Wind Archer is in their natural element.
  • For Night Walkers, Eckhart simple tells them not to reveal themselves to the enemy.
  • For Thunder Breakers, Hawkeye tells them that those who fall behind will be left behind, and so he tells them to make sure to keep up.

After Athena Pierce and the player fight their way to the main deck, Athena gives a word of encouragement to the player as they charge into battle, which depends on their class. For Cygnus Knights, Athena tells them to show their enemies the power of the Cygnus Knights.

Esfera[]

When Ollie introduces herself to the Adversary, Cygnus Knights get exclusive dialogue, in which she says that it's an honor to be able to help them, adding that the Adversary is someone that she's only heard of. She then says that she's been practicing hard in order to distinguish herself.

Moonbridge[]

Shortly before the Alliance fleet takes off, the player will meet with Empress Cygnus, who tells them that the emblems of the Alliance being distributed to their soldiers represents their mutual trust and the courage to stand against evil. She then shows them the jewel on her wrist that Shinsoo had given her and explains that as commander, it is her duty to nurture that trust and courage, adding that she is determined to do just that. Cygnus Knights get exclusive dialogue, in which they vow that they'll protect the Empress with that same determination.

At the end of the Moonbridge storyline, Cygnus Knights get an extra quest with Neinheart, who asks them if they had seen the light that the Empress had wielded to block Gloom's attack. He notes that her power was much stronger than what she had used to save Shinsoo after Damien's attack.

He reminds the player that the Cygnus Knights' power is directly linked to that of the Empress, to which the player notes that they can feel a surge of strength within themselves. Neinheart explains that though he doesn't know what this means for the future, the boost in power is nevertheless helpful for their current situation. Following this conversation, Cygnus Knights' 5th job skill “Empress Cygnus's Blessing” gets upgraded into “Transcendent Cygnus's Blessing”.

Labyrinth of Suffering[]

After Cygnus tells Neinheart that she will lead the fleet into Tenebris in the Adversary's place, Cygnus Knights get exclusive dialogue, in which they note to themselves that the Empress has grown much stronger, and that they'll support her as best as they can.

When the player first meets with Azalin - Hilla disguised as a Night Walker - she tells the player that as a Knight, she's always looked up to their example, and that she'd always wonder if it was even possible to be like them. Upon finally meeting them, however, she laughs that they're more ordinary than she'd expected. The Knight gets offended and wonders to themselves what she's implying, to which she asks if she's hit a nerve before adding that she didn't mean it, and that she'd just been thinking out loud.

After the Adversary collapses into despair as a result of Hilla's machinations, they pass out in a void of darkness within their own mind. As their morale and strength threaten to diminish completely, the mysterious divine light speaks to them in the form of someone close to them and provides them motivation to continue.

For Cygnus Knights, the voice of Empress Cygnus asks them why they risk their life to save others. The Knight tells her that it's because everyone is that precious to them, to which Cygnus asks them why they care so much for Maple World, and what their purpose is. The Knight replies that Maple World is the home where their loved ones live, and that it's a precious place, filled with all their memories.

Cygnus asks them if they can remember what they need to do now, to which the Knight begins to say hopelessly that everyone is already dead, and they have nowhere to go back to, as everyone - all the knights who had placed their faith in them - have been killed right before their eyes. They add that there's nothing that they can do, and that they're completely helpless.

They then ask what else they can do, to which Cygnus tells them to open their eyes and see for themselves, explaining that even if Hilla covers their eyes, she can never cover the truth. She asks them to open their eyes, pick themselves up, and do what they have to do, reminding them that all roads exist inside their heart, and to never forget that. As the voice fades away, the Knight recognizes the voice as belonging to Empress Cygnus.

Limina[]

When the Adversary faces the Black Mage, he tells them that their path has always been preordained. In response to his words, Cygnus Knights vow that they'll transcend the destiny that he's created for the sake of the Empress and for Maple World.

After the Adversary scatters into Erda after killing the Black Mage, they awaken in the Erda Flow, where the White Mage thanks them for putting an end to the battle and helping him liberate the world from the influence of the Overseers. After the conversation, the Adversary will return back to the real world. As they do, the White Mage will give them a unique title based on their class; the title he gives to Cygnus Knights is "Brave Knight of the Empress".

After the final battle, the Adversary will return back to the Outpost and speak with Neinheart and the other leaders of the Alliance. For Cygnus Knights, Neinheart tells them that everyone in Maple World is grateful to them, adding that it's thanks to them that the Alliance was able to rally around Cygnus, who led them to victory. Cygnus agrees and notes that it's thanks to them that they were able to gain everyone's trust and unite as one.

Aftermath[]

In Ereve, Empress Cygnus addressed her Knights and thanked them all for their bravery. She then asked if they were willing to continue following her in the fight against evil, which garnered a rallying cry for Cygnus. Neinheart personally thanked the Cygnus Knight for their dedication and asked if they would honor them with their support in a time of peace. The Knight told Neinheart that they considered it the highest honor to serve the Empress for as long as they were needed.

Hotel Arcus[]

When the player first encounters Irena in Hotel Arcus, Wind Archers get exclusive dialogue, in which they express their surprise to see Irena. Irena greets them and notes that it's their first time being dispatched on a mission together.

When Belle expresses her surprise at Irena being unable to distinguish between different types of screwdrivers, Irena retorts that though that might be common knowledge in a group obsessed with machines like the Resistance, it wasn't something that the Cygnus Knights concerned themselves with. For Cygnus Knights, Irena will ask them to agree with her, to which they respond by telling her not to bring them into it.

Gameplay[]

In the Knights of Cygnus class, players start out as a Noblesse instead of a Beginner. The Knights of Cygnus class starts with a very simple tutorial where it teaches the basis of the game, such as how to attack and pick up items. Then, players enter Ereve, home of the Knights of Cygnus. On Ereve, players are then guided through quests which involves hunting monsters as a Noblesse, and eventually choose between five different job advancements: Dawn Warrior, Blaze Wizard, Wind Archer, Night Walker, or Thunder Breaker.

Noblesse[]

Noblesse are special Beginners that are related to a previous character (if any) that has an additional skill call "Blessing of the Spirit" which buffs up the character using the power of the sprite that make a character's level rises 10, 1 skill point goes up for the connected character.

Ultimate Explorer[]

In order to create an Ultimate Explorer, one must first level a Cygnus Knights up to level 120, go through the final job advancement, and complete the quest named "Empress's Grace".

Once the Cygnus Knight completes the requirements, just simply report to the Empress Cygnus in Ereve. When one speaks with the Empress, one will be given the chance to create the Ultimate Explorer. As of Cygnus Awakening, Ultimate Explorers cannot be made.

  1. The player has the choice to deliver the letter to one of three factions: Explorers, the Resistance, and Aran. Given that all three factions were invited, it is assumed that other Knights besides the player were dispatched for the faction that the player doesn't choose.
