The knights had finally ended the bloody war that had taken place on kingdom soil. They went into the armory, and were found dead.


Edit: There are 6 of them. Sorry, had forgotten to mention this in the post :)
What happened to them?

Are they actual knights (as in, human beings who wear armor and serve the king/queen, and have been given the title of knight) or is the term "knights" used to reflect their appearance alone (e.g. toys made to look like knights, characters in a video game or movie, etc.)?

you mentioned that they had performed an action which got them killed...

did they die through some form of accident?

as in one of the knights bumped an rack of axes which all fell out and killed the knights(or some variation)?

zingo1zang

Hint: The armory is the only reason they died. if they had not walked into the armory they would have survived.

They did win the war?

They are now pillaging i assume?

Did they fight over the weaponry there and killed themselves in the process?

You said some of the knights were "sort of" traitors. Did they intend to be traitors? Did they intend for their betrayal to cause harm to their fellow knights? Or did something disrupt their plans?

Going off of my last train of thought: Did the traitor-ish knights intend for themselves to be killed?

Did these traitor-ish knights seperate themselves from the others due to political views?
Militaristic views?
Religious views?
Was there ANY sort of disagreement between the two "factions"?

EDIT: Better question...did the traitor-ish knights feel their actions were serving something greater than themselves?

They locked themselves in and starved to death. Someone found them much later since the armory wasn't being used much anymore.

Were they Samurai who lost their Lord?

were they Crusaders?

were they catholics?

were they followers of a jihad?


This situation reminds me a bit of history like when the ottoman empire besieged Wien in Austria and they tried to dig a tunnel to blow the city walls to pieces with gun powder.

I know its random :)

Was the armory in perfect structural condition?

Were some of the knights not really knights?

Are the knights ambushed by some of the other knights within the group of six?

Are the knights ambushed by someone or something within the armory?

Is the armory in a castle owned by the winning side?

Did the knights know the war was over?

Were the knights already dead when the entered?

Did anyone else enter with the knights?

The armory was armed with arms. Some of the knights felt it was for the greater good for others to contribute their more bear-like arms to the collection, but they did not have the right to bear arms, so the government came in and shot them all.

After that verbal diarrhea:
Was the armory anything besides an armory?
Is there significance in the fact that there were exactly 6 knights? (that's kind of a cheap question but I'm trying anyway)

This bloody war that they ended, was it a civil war? A conflict within the kingdom itself, not between kingdoms? How many factions are involved in this civil war?

If so, do you say some of the knights were "sort of" traitors because they had previously been members of a losing faction, whereas the other knights were on the winning side?

If so, did these "traitors" harbor resentment towards these knights?

What do you mean by some were not "really" knights? Had they never been knighted, and were merely posing? Were they not really knights because after having been knighted, they did not uphold the code of chivalry?

Were the knights entering the armory to discuss plans of reconstruction after the war?

Did the traitors plan to kill the knights before they had entered the armory?

Was there a skirmish between the knights in the armory?

Eh, enough questions for now. I'll think of more later.

When the 6 knights left the castle to go to battle were they the same 6 knights that came back?

Was 1 of them a traitor?

Was 2 of them traitors?

Was 3 of them traitors?

Is it relevant who found them dead?

Did they all die the same way

Did 1 or more kill themselves?

I think this is a case of the answer being incredibly obvious, but the nature of this question as a thinking puzzle caused people to seek a more difficult and obscure solution. (i.e., the traitor fighting answer was too simple to be the true answer).
