Knight of the Comet

## Knight of the Comet

Often compared to the Deva, the knights of the comet are the messengers of the more wrathful gods. When the word of the gods is not being heeded, then a knight is sent as a reminder of their true powers.

The arrival of a knight is heralded in the night sky, as a meteor shower rains from the heavens with brilliant light comparable to that of the sun. This light then dims and coalesces until all that remains is a faintly glowing humanoid silhouette, clad in simple arms and armour of the finest craft. Orbiting its body is the remnants of the comet on which it arrived, which glows faintly and sheds the same dim light as the knight itself. This small comet serves not only as an eerie reminder of the knights origin, but also as a weapon, which the knight can command and fire like an arrow over great distances.

While threatening in its own right, the knight is not a force for violence, wrath, or ruin, but rather a practical demonstration of a god's power. Capable of magical flight, the captivating glow of a starlit knight taking flight guarantees the restoration of some faith that might have otherwise been forsaken.

Many philosopher's speculate that the reason the god's choose to pull a comet out of the sky is to remind mortals of their place, small and insignificant in the face of the wider universe.
