Ser Ludwig – Will of Horauthin

Ser Ludwig – Will of Horauthin

Male Human (Fighter, Paladin)

This imposing Artifact portrays a heavily armored knight clad in ornate plate and chainmail, standing resolutely upon a battlefield strewn with the remnants of war. Supporting his weight against a massive broadsword while carrying a heavily reinforced heater shield on his back, his solemn posture projects a heavy burden of duty and battle-tested experience. Keepers can deploy this miniature to introduce a stern military commander, a somber lone vanguard, or a powerful oathbound protector.

Tabletop Lore

Hailing from Draksborne, Ser Ludwig was among the first to valiantly fight against the forces of Dragonblight when they took root in the kingdom. Since Draksborne’s fall, Ser Ludwig has wielded the weight of a million souls on his shoulders. A warrior once propelled by rage is now driven by guilt, hoping to find redemption in a crusade against evil.

Highlight

The remarkable juxtaposition of his resting combat stance—leaning upon an oversized, detailed greatsword while a massive tattered cloak flows behind him—creates an incredibly grounding table presence that commands respect.

Encounter Insight

Position Ser Ludwig as a critical frontline anchor during a desperate fortification defense, or as a lone wanderer guarding a ruined pass. His defensive loadout and plate armor make him an ideal candidate for an unyielding mid-campaign ally or a tragic, dogmatic rival whose martial discipline challenges the party to rethink brute-force tactics.
