Background

Their origins are not known, and can be anything the player wants. However, they are one of the many "Warriors" striped of their Graces and hounded from the Lands Between alongside Godfrey, by order of Queen Marika. The reason why the Tarnished were banished from her Kingdom was so that in Marika's own words, "They could wage war in foreign lands and grow strong through hardship and death." The exact reason why she chose to raise them so is not yet completely understood but may have something to do with her rebellion against the Greater Will.
