The Die-Hards are fans of Forever Knight who do not or will not choose a character- or relationship-based faction to belong to. They are generally considered to be one of the original six factions that took part in War One, though they did not actually take the name "Die-Hard" until War Two. The Die-Hards consider themselves to be neutral in war; and, although this does not preclude attack, their headquarters is provided with impregnable defences. It can be used as a refuge by members of other factions seeking a temporary retreat from war activities.
