Here, we are going to go over the history of Destiny's Edge, as well as who each member is. First, let's dive into what we learned about Destiny's Edge from the novel. If you have yet to play through the story, then this will contain some spoilers.

As mentioned earlier, we learn about the formation of Destiny's Edge in a novel by J. Robert King. The Edge of Destiny novel focuses on the time period between the first and second games.

Originally, Destiny's Edge was created as a merger between two groups; Edge of Steel and Dragonspawn's Destiny.

These groups merged in order to defeat the Dragonspawn in the Shiverpeak Mountains. This large group consisted of the following individuals.

The two groups joined after Dragonspawn's Destiny, led by Eir, watched Edge of Steel in an arena tournament. The two groups fought face-to-face, but it proved to be difficult for either side.

Rather than parting ways, Eir eventually convinced Edge of Steel to work with Dragonspawn's Destiny.

The Dragonspawn is a champion of Jormag that can take over an individual's mind. They threaten the Shiverpeak Mountains, which is where Eir is from; this is why she is adamant about defeating the Dragonspawn.

Destiny's Edge went on to defeat the Dragonspawn, as well as champions for Zhaitan and Primordus.

If you've played through Living World Season 4, you know that Kralkatorrik was defeated with the help of Aurene.
