Useful Info

Deep elf knights are the toughest of the deep elf fighter-mages. Like deep elf fighters, they generate with long or short blades, bows, light armour, and occasionally bucklers, and can cast any spell an orc wizard is capable of. Unlike their peers, they have nearly as much durability as an orc knight, but their offensive capabilities are only slightly improved. They can be found in the Elven Halls and some baileys.
