What they are
The Dark Blades are the criminal power of Auroria as the studio describes it: former deserters who now run the underworld, with an internal hierarchy strict enough to be worn on the body.
On 12 March 2025 the official account wrote: “Once deserters, the Dark Blades now rule the shadows, pillaging, forging deadly alliances, and uniting Auroria’s underworld under one ruthless banner.”
That sentence carries three claims worth separating: an origin (desertion), an activity (pillage and alliances), and a structure (one banner over a previously divided underworld).
Documented facts
The documented account
A week later, on 19 March 2025, the studio added: “The Dark Blades have a battle uniform that cannot be worn by just anyone. This uniform isn’t merely clothing—it’s a mark of their internal order and a powerful symbol. Only those who possess the ability to command an entire unit are permitted to wear this uniform.”
It is the only official statement so far about ranks inside any faction of the game, which is why it is quoted here in full rather than summarised.
No leader, no territory and no enemy have been named. Whether the Dark Blades appear as enemies, questgivers or both has not been stated by the developers in any source read at first hand.
