The fraying tapestry conceals many a dark spot on the wall just beneath. The Knights are gathered before one such spot, with a fistful of threads and the haphazardly assigned duty to weave. Something dark and primordial spills from ancient wellspring, and will not be contained by Bottle nor barrel. A darkness that will not abate in the light of Mask’s destructive candle. A foe who cannot be held down by the magics of Scroll, despite a tight two-handed grip. The outcome is hidden from me in deep darkness at the bottom of a well, but what water of truth I pull up in the bucket of my sight holds the bitter taste of failure. — If you like the show, it would mean a lot to us if you'd share the trailer with a friend!

The knights venture deep into the cavern of mysteries, where not even the oppressive desert sun can follow. The Knight of Bottles, restrains his baleful touch in a show of mastery or care, hard won across his journey. Scroll and Mask and dragged through the rituals of ablution, but the stain of their purpose is not so easily laundered. The Grey Knight comes face to face with a pale imitation, but in a world without hue a charcoal sketch reflects as well as mirror glass. The knights descend further into darkness. Danger is near, but not nearer than two strides. — If you like the show, it would mean a lot to us if you'd share the trailer with a friend!

The heat shimmer and dancing sands obscure my sight of the Knights, though four figures cast long shadows even in the endless noon. Four pillars extend from the sand, like fingers of some titan which lay beneath. First, the Pillar of Spines; warm but inane. It shares what has passed for arboreal wisdom in this barren place. Second, the Pillar of Pious Reach; Kind but passive. It tries to help but cannot soothe the regrets it cannot feel. Third, the Pillar of Lower Sun; Chosen but unheeded. Far from home, and isolated from its kin, none will hear its words. And last, the Pillar of the Dunes; slight but treacherous. It who’s poison would fester if not for the prompt ministrations by the Children of the Hive.   — If you like the show, it would mean a lot to us if you'd share the trailer with a friend!

The knights retreat to a grand citadel amidst a field of cured meat. The Knight of Bottles hesitates when the rest fall behind him in unnatural lockstep. The Scroll grows dissatisfied with its casual use by scrivener and scribe. The Knight of Masks, he of the beguiling smile and silver tongue, is brought low by unexpected appearance of his own heart’s desire. Skull is scorned when their host does not return the customary favours. While the other knights prepare to make oaths unto themselves, the Knight of Bottles accepts a vow that is altogether more serious.   — If you like the show, it would mean a lot to us if you'd share the trailer with a friend!

And so the weary Knights make to leave the great city, but even this cannot be without struggle. At their chariot, the horses are spooked. A man with no name presents an ending to this tale; but I see further still! Skull is laid bare before the Spectre of the King, who points onward ahead of the Knights but behind Bottle. For a moment Mask is seen clearly both by Knights and my own sight. He reveals his heart is possessed of a grave defect; and yet the Knights are unconcerned? And Scroll will…I dare not second-guess the Sight, perhaps some error in my interpretation? Surely this doesn’t happen a second time.  — If you like the show, it would mean a lot to us if you'd share the trailer with a friend!
