Honestly, to extend the metaphor, the Dark Knights seem to operate more like the League of Shadows if we wanna put it into a group classification. And I really love the lore, because I always enjoy a good "who watches the watchmen" angle...but I digress. XD
I doubt highly that "new and original" is the name for my concept, but it is loosely associated with the lore without being tied to Ishgard. Steel despises Ishgard and its dealings, and will already be heading to the areas of Heavensward as a sellsword anyway to lend her axe to help the lower classes of people and to try and fleece the higher classes for as much coin as possible for her service.
How she meets the Dark Knights overall is still not really ironed out (I have some ideas), but being a martial character right now, I see her accepting training for the Dark Knights because of parallel ideology and a means to her personal end--to finally reach new levels of power, and marrying magical ability with her physical might is her last avenue.
