Re: New Ulm Pretender ?
Hmmm...why would a Knight want to attain Godhood...a good question...with only one really good answer, how many do you need though..right?
1. Knight in question drew the sword from the stone so to speak and has been granted immortality along with a host of badness he can dish out now. Thus armed with eternal life, a weapon of legend and the skill and will to use it, he executes his dream of unifying the land under his rule. This doesn't have t be a sword mind you, could be a lance, armor, crown, helm, etc...but that would be the most logical explanation. Artifact induced immortality that allows him to lead the Great War.
2. Why must he fight for Godhood? Or even desire to attain Godhood? He has known warfare for as long as he has lived, tiring of the never ending battle and wishing for another Golden Age, he decides to rid the world of pretenders, thus unifying his land once and for all and inadvertantly becoming a God himself. Of course you could take the "evil" side of this also...
3. His heart filled with pride and yet poisoned at the same time with the realization that Ulm will never again regain the glory that once was, Commander Hawkmoon lashes out at the world, determined to expunge all others and reforge the Empire that once was.
I don't know...there are sharper people than me out there but those are some possible scenarios and far more interesting than the descriptions on a few of the pretenders IMHO...
