Concerning SMN AF2, i find it more inspired by Bismarck than Bahamut (the colors and horn).

Uh oh, 'Nony, he's caught on to Rowena's Etsy scheme! :S
(Threre's also the WHM robe that just looks like exaggerated AF1)

I don think the af2 of thr dragoon is was made on times before the dragonsong war. I think it was was made much after that, even after the AF.
mm..I havent done the 50 - 60 drg story. but obious there is someone who uses that gear, maybe that story can gives us just a few speculations?

[Frederick22]

I think we have to be the 4th. As you all remember Sidurgu told us the origin of the first Dark Knight, dunno maybe I'm wrong, but it didnt seem that his master was the first dark knight.

[Lusavari]

I had thought Sidurgu said that the first was his master, though going back and talking to him, I see he says his master was an accomplished Dark Knight.


When Asked "What is a Dark Knight?" (Level 51)

Sidurgu: If you've questions to ask, then by all means.
Sidurgu: Recall the story of the first, who was that rarest of knights─one who held his vows sacrosanct and strove ever to walk in the Fury's grace.
Sidurgu: This man good and true did what no one else had the courage to do. He passed judgment on a vile beast who had used his position in the clergy to commit unspeakable crimes.
Sidurgu: To wit, he cut down the clergyman before the eyes of gods and men, ensuring that the bastard would never harm another child of the Brume again.
Sidurgu: The Holy See could not abide such action, of course. He was detained and delivered unto the Tribunal. Though he won his freedom through trial by combat, he was later stripped of his titles and denounced for his deeds.
Sidurgu: But rather than lament his poor fortune, he embraced it. If they would condemn him as a dark knight, then he would take it as a title.
Sidurgu: He forsook the trappings of his past life, including his sigil and the shield which bore it. In its place, he came to wield something far more potent: a power born of the abyss which lies at the heart of us all.
Sidurgu: A darkness which can grant us great strength...at a price.

When Asked "Tell me about yourself."

Sidurgu: ...There is rather little to tell.
Sidurgu: My master was an accomplished dark knight who saved countless lives─including mine own.
Sidurgu: I owed him my life, and so I pledged it to his cause. I begged him to teach me the dark arts, and he agreed, making me his first pupil. Fray would become the second shortly thereafter.
Sidurgu: Heh, how different we were. I recall our master once likened me to a smoldering campfire and Fray to a frozen lake.
Sidurgu: ...We knew the risks. We swore that we would have no regrets. And I...I have none.
Sidurgu: All that remains is to finish what we started.
