This is an idea for a new DLC (Not in detail, because I hit the back button and lost the original description). Please consider making this a reality...
The DLC is about you taking a ship to where the Spiral Order came from (The world is currently known as The World of Knights). When you reach the planet, there is a battleship, with the Almirian Crest on its main body. It damages your ship, and you take a rescue pod down to the world below. You crash land in a Spiral Order rescue camp where Feron awaits you. He tells you the backstory of this world. The world is indeed where the Spiral Order came from, but the original Almire is on the world. He tells you the original Almire is also known as Blackened Almire, and is a power hungry empire, that drove out the Spiral Order from the world, in want for power, and the Spiral Order fled to a new unexplored world (Cradle). You also find out that Cradle's Almire was a colony placed there long ago. After Feron fills you in, he tells you there have been rumors on BA planning to attack cradle. He wants you to confirm this by breaking into a Data Base in the City.
The mission will be called *Dark Rumors* where you break into the data base and discover that they are indeed planning to attack Cradle, and go back to the Rescue Camp to tell Feron that they mean to attack Cradle, and destroy the Spiral Order. The First floor will be named Guardhouse, with architecture similar to the levels of The roarmulus twins, but in a building. The second floor will be named Secret Data Base, with a shade of blue and computers in numerous areas. Almire Techno's are more common in the second floor.
Level Details: There will be 5 types of enemies (You can add on necessary enemies if you want to), the first being Almire Soldier, a soldier equipped with armor similar to Almirian Crusader armor but a bit more advanced, a spear, and a Crest of Almire. The second, the Almire Sentry, an advanced Almire soldier, with a spear that has an edge similar to the Searing Edge. The next being the Almire Demo, a Almire Soldier equipped with a bomb. The fourth with be some sort of turret, similar or the same to the Gun Puppy. The final type of enemy would be the Almire Techno, a Almire soldier with navy blue shaded armor, with goggles on his helmet, and a spear with an edge similar to the shocking edge.
After Dark Rumors you report to Feron that Blackened Almire is indeed going to attack cradle, and Feron makes the plan of breaking into the Main Citadel and stopping there King Eckelbar from issuing the command to attack Cradle and annihilate the Spiral Order once and for all.
*Mission* Ending a Tyrant.
There will be 4 floors, each of the non boss floors will have architecture similar to Cradle's Almire (accept not in ruins) and with the backround of a city with glowing orange lights). The floors will be similar to King of Ashes. The first floor will be The Royal Bridge, the second is Outer Walls, the third being Royal Palace, and the final floor (The Boss Floor) will be of course Throne Room. The level will feature all of the new enemys, not including the Almire Techno. It will also feature the Almire Captain enemy, a enemy similar to Arkus, but with recolored armor (matching almire armor), with the Crest of Almire shield equipped, and a sword similar to a Trojans. The Almire Captains will act as Trojans, having the same attacks and weaknesses. The throne room will be a Large golden dome with King Eckelbar sitting on a golden throne in the back of the room. he says "So the rumors are true, there ARE Spiral Knights in Almire! I'd love to torture you, but I'm afraid you will have to die immediately. He will have phases similar to Lord Vanaduke. King E is slimmer than Lord Vanaduke, in the same style if armor, but with a crown similar to the crown of summer. His armor will have a tint a gold, and instead of the orange part of his Mace, it will be gold colored. Upon defeat, a gate will open leading you to the floor Royal Treasure Room, which has quite a few rare prize boxes and King-E's now cracked crown in the middle, with the material 'Crown Remnant" which you can use to craft the helmet Royal Almirian Helm, which will be similar to a Almirian Crusader Helm, but with gold edges, and a medium sized crown (Compared to the crown of summer) and is on top of the helmet. (The anvil will be at the mission lobby, with a Almirian Rebel who helps you craft it).
Additional Details: The Rescue Camp will also have transportation that will take you back to Cradle (Haven).
Well, that's that. Post any questions or further suggestions you have in the comments, i appreaciate good feedback, not comments like "Oh this is stupid!" or "You suck!". I hope Three Rings can possibly incorporate this into a DLC or use it as an idea to use for one. But if they do, I think I'd deserve a Royal Almirian Helm XD.
Well thanks for reading my suggestion for a DLC!

Seems I gotta go nerding about the storyline of the game.
1- The Spiral Knights have CRASHED on Cradle and lost the "Tearium" Core powering their ship in the crash of the Skylark the spaceship, and have detected a power that could power their ship again somewhere inside the Core.
2- Almire was long-lost and all of its people became undead. It is presumed that this took place on the "original" Cradle due to the fact Vog gave Vanaduke the power and Vog Cubs live(d) on Cradle.
3- The world is currently known as The World of Knights
Err, no. Spiral Knights come from a Planet known as Isora.
