Ser Elias the Heartless – The Burning Knight

Ser Elias the Heartless – The Burning Knight

Undead Spirit

Enshrouded in a continuous vortex of supernatural flames that erupt from the cracks of his shattered plate armor, this spectral knight projects an imposing, tragic presence on the tactical grid. Clutching a heavy, notched greatsword while lifting an open gauntlet overflowing with raw elemental fire, his dynamic stance and billowing tattered cape capture a perfect snapshot of eternal torment. Keepers can deploy this premium Artifact to introduce a devastating fallen champion, an unstable elemental rival, or an unyielding guardian bound to an ancient curse.

Tabletop Lore

Once a revered Knight of Space and Time belonging to the ancient order of Psithars, Ser Elias was among the legendary Men of Minera who successfully transposed themselves beyond the bounds of the planes. However, his ambitions led to millenniums of imprisonment within the absolute void, trapped in a state of hopeless limbo as centuries of mortal history unfolded without him. In the catastrophic wake of Dragonblight, his wandering soul perished once more within the ruins of Canos before being pulled back into physical form by the reforging of Namneri’s Chalice. Now bound to an agonizing existence of flame and hatred, he remains chained by the military forces of Draksborne and his former order, who weaponize his unraveling sanity against their deepest enemies.

Highlight

This Artifact distinguishes itself through the exceptional structural flow of its integrated flame effects, which wrap seamlessly from the base up through the fractured segments of his plate mail and into his left hand to create a striking kinetic silhouette.
