Green Knight (5e Subclass)
Green Knights are the defenders of the green places. They began as normal Knights who made the decision that it is nobler to serve the world over any king. These rogue knights associate with Druids and Rangers, exchanging the defense provided by their strength of combat with the magical wisdom of the wilds. Using the knowledge given to them by their allies they wield the forces of the wilds with the untamed wrath of nature and the might of steel. Green Knights will not rest until they have defeated all of the enemies of the world that they seek to protect.
