How To Train Your Bloodbound Suit Of Armor - On Dread Knights

On Dread Knights

--

Hello, Citizen. You've chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest Dread Knight conversion facilities. This brief instructional dialogue will help you understand your Dread Knight brothers, and come to love them, now, let us begin.

 

Dread Knights, contrary to the normal knight, or to entities of a mortal coil in general, do not abide any particular moral code or rule. They are ordered to do work by their king, or, lord to do a certain task, and it will be done. Within their armor lay blood runes, of a nature lost to both the Dread Lord(though, the binding process not) and to the majority of the world. All knights, though, one or two in exception, follow this directive(that being, service to their liege) above all others. 

 

Now that the basic information is out of the way, let's get to the 'nitty gritty'.

 

But Dread Lord! How do you harm one of these things?!

 

A Dread Knight is, almost fully, immune to damage. It is a hulk, a dinosaur. It can withstand blows that would destroy, kill, incapacitate even the strongest man. Very few men in the world can harm it when not knowing where to strike, and those few are known as Clerics. The Cleric is, and always has been, the mortal enemy of our Dread Knight friends. Using magic garnered from a god, presumedly, the Clerical Order eradicates and attempts genocide on our kind, compassionate, immortal, Dread Knight brothers.

 

In order to Harm a Dread Knight(this information must be garnered, if used in a role play setting, through experience with the Knights, or noticing their rivets) one must either use Holy Magic, something hot enough to melt their armor(e.z. Lava, fire from something like a Dragon, and so on) or aim at the Rivets. If one managed to strike a knight in the helm, and dislodge one, two, or even three of the rivets, their helmet may very well fly off. This, however, does not kill a knight(removal of the helm), the knight in question will be blinded, muted, deaf, and only capable of berserking around.

 

If the Knight is attacked by holy magic, by a sufficiently powerful holyman, the bindings that hold the knights soul, the runes, in place, begin to fail. The knight becomes significantly weaker in attack, in combat prowess. In an attempt to combat this, some knights utilize shields to block the bombardment of the holy magic, though this can easily fail. Suffice to say, when struck with Holy Magic, the Dread Knights find their match.

 

I understand! but Dread Lord, why do Dread Knights do what they do? 

 

Dread Knights are, very much, the antithesis of a 'human'. They feel only pain, they are devoid of love, and they hate almost all living things like a passion. While I've just described a stereotypical teenage girl, this can easily apply to my knightly brothers as well. Due to conditioning, and jealousy, many (if not all) knights harbor a deep distaste for humanity. They feel, (and unable to place the blame, if openly, on their lord) as though they have been either ascended, or robbed of their livelihood. The destruction of mortal race comes as a facet of this, much like a little boy on the playground who lost his sandcastle in the tide, Dread Knights try to stomp on their little friends, too.

 

This is not to say, however, that a Dread Knight can not feel emotion. Much like a dull throbbing, a Knight may feel 'remorse' for killing someone he once cared about, and he might very much reconsider the entire affair(yet again, this is a rarity, as Knights very seldom show compassion or restraint in their unbridled bloodlust).

 

Oh, o-k. But Dread Lord, how do Dread Knights become the way they are? 

 

You see, Timmy, when a Daddy Dread Knight loves a Mommy Dread Knight very much, they tear off the limbs of their enemy and bind his soul into armor.

 

And that's where babies come from.

 

 

Oh, is this thing still on? Thank you, for reading and listening to our Dread Knight dialogue. Please wait patiently, and our next available Dread Knight representative will be prepared to escort you into a conversion chamber. Have a nice day!

 

(This is something I just started working on now, it will be clarified, fixed up, and rectified to more fully explain Dread Knight happenings and lore. Some issues may be expected, and I'd be happy if someone who knew somewhat more of DK lore could explain them to me VIA PM, so I may rectify the min the event of issue. Thank you for reading!)
