<table><tr><td>![]()</td></tr><tr><td></td></tr></table>

*Proud Knights that attempted to conquer the Undead Crypt.  
For this act of conceit they will never rest  
in peace and instead serve as crypt guardians*

*They bore no weapons, only a shield split into  
left and right halves, which they used to  
playfully crush their foes until their corpses  
where kneaded beyond recognition.*
