Klaegcasleen Knights

The Ghoul Knight

  • 6-6
  • Head of the seat of power (he/him)
  • Old
  • Situated in Klaegcasleen
  • Head of Repairers faction
  • Bearded axe (d10 long) and dusty mail (A1)

The Ghoul Knight holds a wooden lion cub that they stole from The War Knight. This symbolises The War Knight’s child that The Ghoul Knight holds hostage.

The Ghoul Knight stands out even amongst Knights & Seers. His attire consists of various eclectic fabrics, styles, and colours. He speaks with a booming and passionate voice. However, his speeches are always cut short with violent coughing fits.

He is the ruler of the realm and his focus is on its security from internal and external threats. His de facto tactic is to demand obedience through fear. Easy with vassals but he knows other methods are needed with knights. Unfortunately, even he must honour the Seers.

Any chance he gets he will go fishing on the peninsula. He’ll always bring The War’s Knight child on these excursions.

The War Knight

  • 1-6
  • Domain ruler at Klaegcasleen (she/her)
  • Mature
  • Leader of the reinforcement faction
  • Gear: Polearm (+d10 against beasts and monster) and long mail hood

The War Knight is a tall imposing figure in her armour. Fighting humans she is poised and will never strike those who have surrendered. Against beasts and monsters she will not stop till they or her are dead.

At court she wears her jade gambeson dress showing her flowing silver hair. However, her helm with her long mail hood is never far. She speaks with a flat voice to disguise her emotions. She deeply cares for the people of the realm and doesn’t agree with The Ghoul Knight.

The War Knight knows the ginger child that The Ghoul Knight holds hostage is not her real child. Her real child was stolen by The Burning Mother and so The War Knight’s child is The Child in the myth. Although she knows the myth hex location she does not go near, nor easily share the info, in case The Ghoul Knight interferes.

The War Knight wants the truth but is self bound by her knightly oath.

The Fanged Knight

  • 6-10
  • Steward of Klaegcasleen (he/him)
  • Mature
  • Repairer faction
  • Ancient scroll that references a body of water and an ancestor to them

A greedy and hungry man they talk with a weak and detached voice. They are either lost in their memories or dreaming. They pay little attention to others except The Ghoul Knight who they obey as their source of wealth and comfort.

Although they love what The Ghoul Knight provides, The Fanged Knight actually hates him and would be happy for someone else to lead. The Enthroned Seer has commanded The Fanged Knight to be the loyal steward of whoever leads the realm.

The Fanged Knight really wants to “fix” The Enthroned Seer to the form of a human. No idea how to do this but he hopes he can extract all the precious metals from the seer when it happens.

The Horn Knight

  • 2-11
  • Klaegcasleen’s Marshal (she/her)
  • Young
  • Repairers faction
  • Sharp beastly sounding horn
  • Antler-halberd, d8, +d10 vs horned or antlered opponents

A short woman with a gravelly relaxed voice. Wielding an antler halberd and wild horn this rusty haired woman wears a red tunic and blue trousers.

She was raised by a family of giant talking badgers. This led to her using fierce intimidation to maintain what she considered her territory.

Her quarters are in the caverns below the castle. Here she raises otters as a family to replace her badger family. She frequently takes them out to hunt and they will come to her when she blows her horn.

She is missing her pinky and ring finger on her left hand. Bitten off by the wolves that killed her family. She forces the guards to wear antlered helmets so she can easily beat them with her antler-halberd.
