Elven Wight

"Despite my reservations, I agreed to investigate the newly discovered tomb of Lewellan Goldstar, which had appeared suddenly a few miles outside of Bernloch within the family estate of Baroness Alder. I had never heard of Elven Undead before, but I was concerned magical wards may have protected the tomb. I was therefore pleasantly surprised when we managed to gain entrance to the main chamber without incident. Within, we found a single slab of white marble, upon which lay the withered body of an Elven warrior. Clad in gleaming mail, he held a long Elven blade to his chest, over which lay a large triangular shield that bore the image of three stars: two silver and one gold. No cobwebs, not a single speck of dust marred the scene. I was suddenly filled with a terrible feeling of dread, and I knew if we were to take another step inside that room we would all die. I ordered the retreat back to the tomb entrance and returned to the Baroness, whereupon I advised her to seal the entrance and set guards upon it to discourage tomb robbers. Some things are better left undisturbed."

- Heinrich Johannes, procurer of ancient artefacts

Elven Wights are the remains of ancient Elven heroes, dating back to the War of the Beard. Their souls are unable to find peace, consumed with the arrogance and bitterness that fuelled that ancient conflict. Like other Wights, they are usually found in full battle dress. Little remains of the body save for the skeleton and perhaps a few scraps of flesh, but this is merely a shell for the Wight’s dark soul. If an Elven Wight so chooses, it can manifest its spirit to mortal eyes, appearing to be a living (if extremely pale, even by Elven standards) Elf. In battle, they drop this disguise, revealing their true nature in order to inspire fear in their foes.

Elven Wight Blades are ancient and deadly weapons infused with magic and the power of undeath.
