Dark Knights Unveil Secret Weapon

Jelek – The Dark Knights today unveiled their new weapon to nullify Emperor Markham's remaining bombard – a Cylon Raider.

"We found the craft near the ruins of the Dark Queen's Temple in Neraka, "said William Turin, Knight of the Lily and Commander of the Copperhead Talon. "None of our people could figure out what it was, but we knew it had to be a final blessing from the Dark Queen."

According to Turin the Dark Knights procured the services of a mad gnome named Gateway to uncover the inner workings of the device. He told the Herald:

"The device is called a Cylon Raider," said Gateway. This I learned from a data storage device aboard the craft. It hails from some far away land called the Cylon Empire,, which is likely one of the lost continents of Krynn. The data storage device was most helpful in teaching the Dark Knights how to pilot the craft and to activate its magical weapons systems. This isn't your grand daddy's flying citadel."

"The gnome was most helpful," said Turin, "Without him it is likely we never would have figured out how to even work the divination magic called the Dradus. The Dradus allows one to see and track a number of different targets. This craft truly is a gift from Takhisis."

The Dark Knights have openly challenged Emperor Markham to a duel; his bombard versus their Cylon Raider. Markham has yet to answer the challenge. Rumor has it he is seeking an elusive alien craft of his own called a Star Destroyer.
