Starting Characters

When creating their character, the player may pick one of four classes: Unknown, Knight, Villager, or Proctor. Unknown is the only class capable of using Thaumaturgy to its full extent. Each class starts with a Torch. Do not lose it, as it is unique and the only one found throughout the dungeon.
