Hello everyone!
I’ve counted the votes and the card you wanted me to talk about most is The one and
only Black Knight “None shall pass”
Let’s begin shall we?!
It was during Wrath of the Lich King where highlord Tirion Fordring decided to hold a
little tournament to decide who would join them on their assault upon icecrown citadel
and the Lich King.
Disturbing rumors about a contestant called the Black Knight are spreading amongst the
tournament grounds.
Those planned to go up against him in combat have met an untimely end.
Rumors are all we have at the moment so we’re send out to discover the background of this
knight.
For the Alliance you travel to westfall, for the Horde you go to silverpine, and both sides
figure out that the knight’s origin story is a sham.
Lying about your background does not make you a murderer so next we obtain a seer’s
crystal and with the powers of the light, we discover how the planned contestants met
their demise.
1 is poisoned, 1 is burned to a crisp and 1 got stabbed in the back.
After knocked out Maloric, the black knight’s squire, we find a bag containing poison, a
collection of knives, oil and torches.
It’s clear that the black knight is the murderer, but who is he working for?
Stealing the knight’s mount leads us to a camp full of Cult of the damned members
and there we find a stolen tournament invitation as well as the black knight’s orders.
He’s been send by Arthas the Lich King to sow distrust and discord among our ranks and
take care of our greatest warriors.
It’s clear that the black knight is a threat that needs to be dealt with so after obtaining
the rank of champion we challenge him in broad daylight so that he has no chance of doing
us in before the fight and we strike him down.
Scourge don’t go down easy though and the cult has taken the knight’s body and docter
Kohler is working on resurrecting him.
We fly out and take care of the doctor, but their plans are already in motion and during
the trial of the crusader, the black knight returns.
“You spoiled my grand entrace rat” “Haha you turn into a zombie now”
“Did you honestly think that an angent of the Lich King would be bested on the field
of your pathetic little tournament?”
“I’ve come to finish my task.”
“This farce ends here!
“First death” “My rotting flesh was just getting in the
way!”
“Dies again...”
“I have no need for bones to best you!”
He was sent by the Lich King to disrupt the Argent Tournament.
We can pretty much mark that a failure since we saved the day and the black knight has
been taken care of.
That’s the story of the Black Knight within World of Warcraft, but for both WoW and Hearthstone,
he’s a reference to the black knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
I’ll link the scene in the description if you’ve never seen it, it’s pretty damn
funny and worth the time to check it out.
We know its reference because some of the achievements linked to the black knight and
of course the voice files that they used for him in Hearthstone:
“None shall pass” Come patsy!
None shall pass.
What?!
None shall pass.
“I’m invincible” Look you stupid basterd you got no arms left.
Yes I have!
Look!
It’s just a flesh wound.
Look stop that.
Chicken.
CHICKEEEEN Look i’ll have your leg...RIGHT
*Woesj* Right...I’ll do you for that.
You’ll what?!
Come here.
What are you gonna do, bleed on me?
I”M INVINCIBLE!
You’re a loony...
Apparently it really was just a flesh wound since the Black Knight returned with the Grand
Tournament set, but now in his skeletal form.
Makes you wonder if they’ll ever add his ghost form as a card, regardless the knight
is back and in this form... for some reason... he’s quoting game of thrones...
“Pay the iron price...”
And that’s all I have for you today when it comes to The Black Knight.
As always I’ll leave it up to you guys and girls to decide what card we’re going to
talk about next so leave your suggestions in the comments down below and who knows?!
