A glimpse of an old, old story with a new face. From beneath the dusts of ancient legend comes this vivid look at fleeting glimpses of what truths may possibly exist.
CHIVALRY’S WARRIORS,
HONOR BOUND KNIGHTS,
CROSSING TIMES LONG FORGOTTEN,
THEY COME.
OUT OF THE DEPTHS OF THE AGES
THEY COME.
THESE MOUNTED WARRIORS,
OUT BEYOND THE FAR REACHING FIELD
TO THE TREELINE OF THE DARK FOREST.
YOU CAN SEE THEM, ADVANCING
AS IF FROM A DREAM.

SYMBOLIC FIGURES FROM THE STUFF OF LEGEND
WITH IDEALISTIC VALUES NO LONGER PRESENT,
THEY ARE REMINDERS OF HARD FOUGHT BATTLES
AND HEROIC FEATS KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN COMMONPLACE.
THESE BE ARTHUR’S KNIGHTS,
FORGED IN THE FIRES OF WARFARE
AND FEARLESS IN THEIR QUEST FOR PEACEFUL DAYS.
UNITED UNDER PENDRAGON’S BANNER,
THEY SERVE HIM WHO WIELDS EXCALIBUR.
THE LAST BASTION OF LIGHT
IN A TIME OF ONCOMING DARKNESS,
THEY ARE THE FADING IMAGE OF ORDER
AGAINST THOSE WHO WOULD PLUNGE
THE LAST GLIMPSES OF CIVILIZATION
INTO CHAOTIC DESTRUCTION
AND UNENDING NIGHT.
