Grimvelt: Knight of Yelan

Knight of Yelan:
An automaton which contains the soul of a knight sworn to Yelan the Studious.

"Let not thyself be deceived, for behind that lifeless veil doth true life lie."

Yelan, a sorceress of the Third Academy, desired to master all incantations. Accepting that one lifetime was insufficient to understand all there was to know, she experimented with immortality, starting with the knights that swore to protect her.

Alas she could not transpose herself. Withering away into old age, she died, leaving her knights to their fate of roaming the land ever silent, while their minds, encased in their shells, eventually eroded from the passing of ages.

Yelannic sword and dagger:
A longsword and dagger carried by the Knights of Yelan. Each bears a small book set into the pommel, upon whose pages is inscribed Yelan's Prayer.

Knowing her knights would roam the land long after her passing, Yelan the Studious gifted them these arms, blessing each blade with her personal prayer, that they might never dull in service to her will.
