User blog comment:Ornsteinthedarkhorse/Four Knights of Gwyn/@comment-25730298-20141125153743

it doesn't say when they were formed that i could find. but obviously they were given the title of the four knights for their battle prowess. And as the dragon war is the biggest war that i could think of one would assume the 4 knights gained their titles from this war. Ornstein and Gough were given titles of dragonslayer. But Ornstein's armor is weak to fire. Unless Ornstein was incredibly fire resitant and fast.... which he is... he would need something to stop the fire. I understand the skill of Ornstein but still fire is fire. I'm saying that it could be possible that the 4 knights original purpose was to fight dragons and maybe they got put together so they gained the 4 knights titles. After the war the 4 knights split to do what they do..... i could be wrong obviously but they would still work very well together to fight dragons yes?
