Thanks Arctic,
The Knives have been my favorite for a long time and I hoped you would do their background.
Great job.
Thanks for the entertaining backgrounder. Good choices on the testimonials and the "wrappers". There's a big faction of us who originally got into the game based on the story and it's been a long dry spell since there was any real addition to the back-story and/or in-game storyline. Thanks for an ice-cold drink on parched throat!
Here's hoping that I-10 really will bring the story back to the game...
Wonderful! An entertaining read and priceless RP background for the small KoA-based VG started on Virt!
"And in this moment, I will not run.
It is my place to stand.
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands."
Bit light on hard info compared to the other background articles; in fact very little that couldn't have been inferred by their in-game information.
And I'd just like to say that whilst 'backgrounder' sadly appears to be a real word, it's an awful one that shouldn't be encouraged.
#2409 - The Mystery of the MAGI vaults. Azuria has contacted you to help her stop the thefts from the MAGI vaults.
#68054 - Out of the gutters. Left for dead, you swore that you were through with being a victim (alt villain beginning story)
Knives of Artemis=practice dummies for Fallenz my scrapper. Only the bosses are a bother to him. I'm still trying to figure why folks have an issues with these lightweighs.

If you have mez protection then they are just an annoyance due to all the caltrops. If you don't have mez protection though they will nail you with sleeps, holds and stuns that all last fairly long.
Glad I'm a teleporter Scrapper. They won't stand a chance!

When you kill them fast enough, you need not worried about those we 'nade. And UY helps too.
BTW, we've finally figured out Lighthouse's AT! Peacebringer! (I think)
KoA are nothing compared to the Malta Group itself.
They're just a band of losers that have an overload of caltrops. Who uses a crossbow as a weapon these days anyway?
Oh really? My Dom eats Malta alive and giggles.
KoA with their difficult detection are far tougher for him.
My Scrapper has no real issues with them or Malta for that matter, but as far as things go I think we can all agree they are tougher then most groups out there.

The only thing that's a little puzzling is why so many of the screenshots of them feature the Knives with Void Rifles.

I was a little disappointed the feature picture on the updater had a void hunter rifle instead of a broadsword lol
My favorite testimony had to be the one where the hero wanted to do some bodily harm to Crimson after being sent to fight the KoA.
Great job. Can't wait for the nest one (*crossing fingers for DE or Nemesis*)!
