In the medieval valleys of Yoreyore, whispers sneak around corners about a peculiar assemblage of knights. They are not your average beef-and-ale loving, damsel-rescuing, dragon-slaying gentlemen. No, these are The Knights Who Say Nyx, and their legend is as strange and fascinating as it is hilarious.
According to scattered tales, these knights don't communicate like regular people. In place of the customary 'Hello' or 'Good day, sir', they greet others with a solemn 'Nyx.' The same goes for 'goodbye,' 'thank you,' and 'what time is the jousting tournament?'. Every phrase, every word is replaced by this singular utterance, causing bewilderment and more than a few ruffled feathers.
There are countless theories as to why these knights communicate this way. Some say it's to keep their strategies secret from enemies. Others theorize they've taken a vow of 'Nyxicity', committing to utter only 'Nyx' for their lifetime. Academics and linguists have gone so far as to write books and thesis papers on the 'Nyx' conundrum, each theory more outlandish than the next.
The Knights Who Say Nyx are an enigma wrapped in a nyx, shrouded in mystery. While their noisy 'Nyx' chanting sessions may not be every townsfolk's cup of ale, they certainly contribute to the mysteries that bless our world with a touch of the absurd. The only question that remains unanswered is, what happens if you reply with a 'Nyx'?
