“No one is coming to rescue us“, was the utterance of the last would be King. This King believed he was sent on a mission from God. He filled his court with cronies and court jesters. Those who pointed out his folly were exiled from the Kingdom., all the brave Knights have left the fortress.
For the poor peasants and surfs in the once grand Empire, a new reality has set in- there are no Knights in Shinning armor. Long ago the castle defenses were breached. No longer willing and able to fight, most simply choose to flee. These refugees are moving in slow motion. One by one they are packing up their earthly possessions and heading out to new frontiers just as their ancestors did many generations ago.
Champions that once served the great nations of Roawia, risen to help further the Eldak's goals. Heavily armored with ancient weapons, these knights have slept for ages awaiting their masters return.

My pirate sigfig, Eleman, needed a ship. and calling it the Elephant Knight seemed to be a no brainer. The crew consists of Eleman, A couple other Pirate sigfigs I have acquired, (You know who you are) a dude made for a contest, and all those secret pirates who have made their way to me.
Perhaps my favorite figure released to date of the series!
The Knight Unicorn succeeds where its predecessor, Knight Gundam, failed. The cape behind him is on a single long peg plugged into his back that not only keeps it in good and tight but then can be rotated, allowing the cape to billow a little when fighting. The gold accents work much better for this Unicorn then the red do on his counter part and his bright silver sword with black accents really pops. The only thing keeping him from being perfect is having the left hand, once again, left open but that is a small nit pick on what was otherwise one of the best figures released.

Dorchester On Thames, England.
Inside Dorchester Abbey is this effigy on a tomb of Knight William de Valence, about 1280 AD. The recumbent figure in chain mail gives a feeling of movement by his crossed legs and hand about to draw his sword.
the chapel at Miravet- it was a Knights Templar church inside the castle. The castle and holdings were given to the Knights Templar for services rendered during the 'reconquista'.
The castle and fortress have seen many battles over the centuries and recent work has restored the castle so it can be safely visited.
