Lee Family Heritage - Divine Intervention
There was a legendary paladin huntsman, who's limitless devotion to the gods of remnant was actually rewarded. The god of creation bestowed upon him the indestructible blade named Durendal, said to be the sharpest thing in all of existence upon his loyal servant. The god of destruction also bestowed an immense power upon the paladin, the power which came to be named “Shadowstep” or “Umbra Gradum” in elder language. The Shadowstep power grants the ability to instantly travel short distances, enveloping the user in black mist. It does have the ability to be used at a longer range, but depending on how far you go it could completely deplete your aura, or fatigue you to the point of blacking out.
