Lars, Northern Bulwark – Elite Knight of Findros

Human Humanoid (Fighter/Paladin)

Fortify the defenses of your realm with Lars, the Northern Bulwark. This hand-selected artifact features an elite champion clad in heavy, gothic-inspired plate armor, planting a massive tower shield firmly into the earth while holding a lethal long-handled halberd at the ready. Crowned with a high, swept-wing helmet and a heavy flowing cape, this miniature anchors your battle map with an unyielding presence of premium, martial authority.

Highlight

For Keepers seeking a frontline juggernaut who embodies impenetrable defense and aristocratic military discipline, Lars provides an exceptional focal point. The exquisite engraving covering his breastplate, the sprawling crest emblazoned on his heavy tower shield, and the layered fluting of his armor plates offer sharp definition that makes metallic painting and weathering incredibly satisfying.

Encounter Insight

Lars functions beautifully as an unyielding boss guardian, a royal commander sent to enforce martial law, or a resolute vanguard champion shielding vulnerable squishy targets. In tactical combat, position him at narrow choke points or doorways where his immense shield can deny movement, forcing players to expend resources trying to bypass his near-impenetrable defensive line.

Tabletop Lore

An elite knight from the prestigious northern city of Findros, Lars and his people were narrowly spared the devastation of the first Dragonblight when their Duke ordered a swift evacuation onto armada galleons, forcing them to spend months surviving at sea. During that dark time, Lars was among the iron-willed warriors tasked with quelling infected vessels, gaining brutal, firsthand experience in combatting the plague. Now, summoned far from his home to the blighted village of Limlight in a bid of sheer desperation by the Crown, he stands ready to contain a second outbreak—no matter the cost.
