The Ancient Billowing Order of Henge Knights

These knights are NOT hedge knights. They are very slender and sneaky and can lift 25 tons.

Did you know that all henge ditches are dug by henge knights? It’s true. They sit themselves right down and drag their armored asses on the ground, leaving a furrow in the earth. It’s very efficient.

These knights tpyically travel in threes and are very dangerous. They sleep only four days a year at anti-equinoxes and anti-solstices. The rest of the time they jealously guard henges of all sorts: big henges, small henges, really big henges (300m+).

They know exactly what time it is and what day it is. They like the color blue. They can and will eat you.

Fortunately there are only 39 henges in existance, so presumably there are fewer henge knights than that. You may never see one if you’re lucky. It’s a shame because henges are actually quite nice looking from a distance. Not many people see them up close on account of the incredibly violent knights, but henges probably look nice up close too.

Henge knights are NOT hedge knights, though their, henge knights’, helmets have little like vines on them. The thin helmet is too long to be comfortable and are laced or partly covered with green. Nothing to truly impede The Efficiency of course.

The rest of their armor varies but they usually carry spears. The chief identifying factor for a henge knight is that they are near henges unlike, say, anyone else with all their limbs attached.

Stay away and stick to the rivers, there’s a good lad.
