The deepest Desire of this Knight's heart is the Keep of Blackburn 
to sit upon its Throne of Dominion  in Aasterinian's Hall, to survey my people, safe and Prosperous, to seat  them at my Feast Table.  
Now my People are dead, that Throne  is useless and I will rescue their Souls from perdition as the ultimate  Expression of my protective Vow.
To Commemorate my vow I will  inscribe a Tattoo a huge sigil upon the flesh of my Back, that of the  Red Rook so that all will feel Backlash of a Knight's fury.
Were I to come upon the wardrobe of  my heroic ancestors, I will put upon my tired feet, Boots of Boarding  so that I may leap upon my steed or ship at once.
I would don Gaunlets of Ogre  Strength so that I may triumph in all arm wrestling contests, or perhaps  Dwarven Throwers so that I am never short-hafted.
I would gird my arms with Iron  Armbands of Power or those of Flame so that the West Hammer is ever  feared.  Ever do the stories of the Red Knight's glories change.
I would pick from the armory to  enclose my senses a Helm that is Horned like the charging Bull of  legend.  Or else one girded by the runes of dwarves of the most Stubborn  Mind.
I would sheath the West Hammer in its Sacred Sheath.
I would plunder the vaults for  Power Jewels, Ioun Stones, Cinnabars and the Ivory Goat of Travail, and  Hold them all in a magical Bag.
Were I to discover the riches of  ancient kings I would don the famed Layered Plate of Dwarven Vigor in  homage of that once worn by my indefatigable ancestors.
Were I to rub a genie's lamp I  would ask of that a efreet a magic Bridle of Conjuration so that I may  never again be without the company of my best friend, Withers, Warhorse  of my Heart.
