“A Knight’s Fall” is a three part trilogy | “A Knight’s Fall” is a three-part trilogy traditionally sung near the hearth by aspiring bards who unravel the story of a chaste [[Knight]] befallen by the pull of a seductress who tricks him into breaking his code. The composer of the piece - an established bard by the name of Fenton Hector - was inspired to write "A Knight’s Fall" in 264 AC after witnessing a [[Viridian Order|Viridian Knight]]’s expulsion from the Order. Following the incident, Fenton sought out the dishonored Knight to hear his tale. While the literal story may never be known, A Knight’s Fall is the closest account anyone has about the expulsion of the Knight. | ||
