A true Knight perseveres. A true Knight fights with honour. A true Knight leads his men with courage.
The idea was to have the same knight-in-training throughout every vig, but aging (notice, different hair, and faces and accumulating more Knightly attire.) The first vignette is him performing menial tasks such as polishing tarnished armour in the King's armoury as a young boy. The second vignette is him as a teenage Squire competing in a tournament. The third was the vignette I had the most trouble realising, but in the end it was supposed to be him in defending Jerusalem in the Holy Land with his men, fighting as a true Knight would, for his God and the King.
This category really interested me as it provided the chance for colour variation in a castle. Often castles can be big, grey and boring. I have been guilty of this in the past and on this castle I resolved to try and liven up the colour scheme with the red sections that are meant to simulate damage done to the castle from battles past repaired with clay fired bricks. This gives a contrast to the original grey stone of the castle and makes it more visually interesting.
