So, having spent the week talking about things relating to the Black Knight, and his complaint, it is time to talk about him – and to show that he is still a figure relevant to popular culture. And also, that he is still represented in a very similar way to how he was, chain mail, gauntlets, and a helmet, though those Cylon-inspired eyes are a new addition.
Best of all, it is definitely true to say that if this card was to fall through a portal into the fourteenth century, whomsoever discovered it would instantly know he was the Black Knight, and that is extraordinarily thrilling to me.
Originally his blackness was as a counterfoil to the White Knight, in the time honoured good vs evil way, though there was always a suspicion that the Black Knight was not really evil, that he had been wronged, or suffered a life changing loss. Indeed in our poem he is discovered melancholic beneath a hedge, and freely tells his tales of woe to the narrator, not something that an evil man would do.
Now I am going to be honest, I know nothing of Fortnite, but I looked it up, because the truth is that being introduced to new pleasures and experiences is what I enjoy most of all about writing the newsletters – and, perhaps, you do too, in their reading. So Fortnite is a computer game, first released in 2017, and available for most of the popular formats. The idea is that your character does battle against the other players, to a maximum of a hundred players, and the last character standing alive wins. There is also a sub theme in that along the way you can pick up items that help in your quests, extra armour, weapons, etc.
I imagine I would not get too far with this, but if you want to know everything about the game just nip off to Fortnite-Wiki-Fandom where almost 100,000 articles and files are continuously updated.
