At the start of the Seven Stars War, a man volunteered to fight alonside the Duchy's Forces. This man was target of heavy humiliation on behalf of his comrades since his armor differed from theirs, who wore the padronized Duchy's armor. Unbeknownst to them, this very piece of equipment was the major reason that this man got to remain alive after two years stranded on enemy territory. Unbeknownst to them, this very armor was the finest piece of military gear that they could ever have seen. Unbeknownst to them, this unknown mocked man, two years after the start of the war, would rise as the Rusted Steel Knight, the legendary champion of the Seven Stars War, considered a hero in the Duchy.
