Nah, but see, it's a reference to Mathilde's first title (Dusk Rider/Twilight Rider)

Besides, the Gold College calls the Dark Hounds Gehenna's Golden Hounds, so I don't think it's much of an issue.
The best defense of apparation binding is that no one in their right mind would think the colleges actually do it. Like binding i-cant-believe-its-not-a-daemon just seems like a really braindead move for the colleges.

Which is why no one suspects it's actually what's happening.
 
This is fucking awful.

i love it
Mathilde's Mounted Aetheric Protector. Or Mathilde's MAP for short

(I will never get tired of beating this dead horse into the ground)
I think if we vote for that, we might all be literally dragged to hell, irl.
Let's try it and find out.

Wait. I've got it. I know what it must be called.

Come hellfire or aught else:
Fireball

The Bringer of Knight suggestion was funny. Is there a way we could fit in another o for BooK lol?

Bringer of Obscured Knights? BoOKs?

The thing about metric system is that the base-10 division of units makes perfect sense, but you don't need to use a meter as the base.

Consider: kilofeet.
 
Instead of puns, how about a perfectly sensible name with no unfortunate connotations whatsoever?

If we go mounted knight, the Red Rider spell is highly likely to end up based off the legend of the Dammerlichtreiter.

So, consider:
What is the Dammerlichtreiter most famous for? Liberating Sylvania
How did was Sylvania liberated? Killing vampires.

An obvious name for a spell based on that legend suggests itself.

Twilight of the Vampires.

:V :V :V

Also, since we have a big dog and like the big dog knights, we should have them ride big fighting dogs. Wehrwölfe, as the Imperials would say.

Aren't they called Ulricskinder? I couldn't find anything indicating that Wehrwölfe would be the Imperial term, and since the first syllable of werewolf/Werwolf comes from "wer", meaning man in old english/middle high German that would be a really unusual spelling.

I love it. Just to absolutely F with people:

Having a single rider is:
Functional Illusionary Riders from Essence Bound Apparitions Located Liminally (Singular)

and having multiple is simply:
Functional Illusionary Riders from Essence Bound Apparitions Located Liminally

And anyone not a Grey LM can't know what the abbreviation stands for because it's classified.

Children of Ulric is the most common term I've seen.

Or Skinwolves for the Chaos variety.

It's a German pun. The word for werewolf is Werwolf, but Wehr is an old-timey word that means something like Defense or Fighting. The army was the Wehrmacht, literally Defense Force, and now is the Bundesweher. So a Wehrwolf is a fighting wolf. And the Empire is very German inspired, including the place names being occasionally bad German. So Mathilde is probably speaking something that would sound like a weird German dialect.

Hmm, better is Fog Immersed Riders from Essence Bound Apparitions Located Liminally
 
I'm on the side of a simple name, like Dusk or Twilight Riders, but for the sake of the name game...

Mathilde's Umbral Retinue Knights.

This has the added value of the word it forms being a command on the battlefield for ease of communication. Just point out a possible target and shout "MURK them!"
