Sometimes someone that goes to explore the mournland dies and awakens as a mournknight this is rare though.    As a rule, these creatures are angry and, some say insane. They hunger to die, but wont from their unwavering will to live to protect their lost land. Because of this they are also one of the biggest threats to the lord of blades, thinking of him as an intruder in their blasted homeland.    A mournknight is a blasted corpse that is still barley together even is they are still as solid as they where in life. Their eyes glow a bright green and there mouth gives off a soft green glow. Mournknights will commonly team up with mournmares if they find they have the same goal.    Mournknights speak Common plus any other languages they knew in life.Sample Mournknight This blasted creature wears the blasted, armor of a mighty knight of cyre. An angry green light dance in its eyes, and a sad green glow comes from its mouth.
