The Night Knight is a man possessed by the romantic potential of the moon. He has been called to a life saving damsels in distress, defeating monsters threatening villages, writing poetry in his lonely room with his feathered pen, drinking red wine & generally living the tales repeated in the pages of the stories of knights that populate his collection of adventure novels. If life doesn't serve this up, he'll make things that way in his mind! THere is heroism to pursue. The Würstreich is not that world of romantic adventure, it is much more messy, unpleasant & complicated than the easy morality tales of heroism of these books. But, reality is for the unromantic, the Night Knight is painting a picture to remember! One night he had too much to drink, stole a horse & went on a wild ride through the countryside killing a dozen town guards who were unlucky enough to be seen as impediments to his quest. The Night Knight was captured, soundly beaten & tossed into the dungeon.
