Undead Army Standard Bearer
About
While skeletons have no vestige of their mortal soul remaining, the same cannot be said of the elite revenants.
These skeletal creatures were once heroes and chieftains of old, who were entombed in cairns and barrows of stone and earth, still garbed in the armour they wore in life.
Surrounded by their earthly wealth, they were sealed in with curses and hexes, ensuring that none disturbed their eternal slumber. However, while these ancient spells of warding might keep centuries of tomb robbers at bay, they pose little hindrance to the most powerful necromancers. The very wards that protected their resting places also cursed them to retain some of their spirit. Now trapped in an undying body bound to the will of a necromancer, they have become utterly twisted and spiteful. They are encased in heavy ensorcelled armour of bronze and iron, making them nigh on impossible to destroy.
The Revenant Kings and Champions are joined in battle by their loyal retainers, who bear their king’s or master’s colours as they did in life. Most undead are uninterested in honour and duty, but the sorceries that imbue the gory standards of their armies are a source of unliving energy that sustains the minions of the undead lords.
Trivia
- In Clash of Kings, Undead Army Standard Bearer was renamed to Ahmunite Army Standard Bearer for the Empire of Dust which retired this version of the unit for that faction.
