Origin of the Dark Knights
A darkness calls to those who wish it
As the Cuniculus came to power, he had formed an army, not just one within his realm... but in Valinta. His power was weak within Valintia, this was before the First Fall. The Cuniculus reached out through any means he could but no one could win against his wit. Eventually... he began to send out the darker forces. Beings without memory flooded the land- killing many people to where several warriors came to challenge the will. As they challenged the terror the Elder Gods called to them. Opening a way into the source of the dark warriors.
When they reached the realm... they thought they never left... till the air changed.
Much like their world it looked as though they had been tricked- till the lord of the realm came forth disguised as a lost silvery soul seeking aid to get out of the land. These warriors agreed to help. Fighting for the right cause only to be tricked into the darkness.
The warriors were taken into a temple, fighting against the whim of the Cuniculus and slowly going mad... more and more insanity took them all over. Each man fell into the darkness... dying from starvation of clarity till they learned of the ruler. Facing him was no easy feat. All lost but as they heaved and licked their wounds, his hand held out to them.
An offer was made.
Riches was not what he offered but strength, loyalty, armies... land... all they could ever wish for if they became his generals. He offered all he could give to those men. Anything they wished... he could give. Save for immortality outside his realm. His realm, was away from time. While inside they'd never age. Once outside people would.
None of his men would die. He'd always reincarnate them... if they did not wish- to retire.
