[edit] General Information
Black knights are gaurdian creatures well known for their mercilessness, aggressiveness, and tenacity. These Hell-spawned spirits have glowing red eyes that further indicate their origin. They tend to wear elaborate suits of plate mail armor.
[edit] Behavior
Black knights are formed of spirits of the underworld trapped in enchanted armor. The armor of these beings makes it impossible to resist the commands of the summoner. A Black Knight is bound to the service of the summoner until either the enchantments of the armor become broken, or they are released from service.
[edit] Environment
Standing guard over the temples of Prince Malaut, the elite Black Knights serve as bodyguards to the priesthood. The followers of Malaut, known as the Twilight Empire, can only be found in the kingdom of Mercia. Despite the faith of Mercia, the Red Prince remains unsatisfied and continues to seek a global faith.
The inner sanctums of the Twilight Empire coteries are usually where most Black Knights may be found. These Black Knights serve by aiding in any spellcasting that is inferior to the spells that lured and bound them. The spirits of the Black Knights are Shadelands natives. Originating in a subterranean realm which exists below Mercian.
[edit] Variations
Black Lords are similar in stature to Black Knights, yet the Black Lords are bound by much more powerful enchantments. These enchantments allow the priests of Malaut to trap stronger spirits. The strength of these Black Lords allows them the ability to effectively fight with twin axes instead of two swords.
