Iron Revenant
“Was a horrible thing, an evil thing. A thing born from all the swirl of madness we bring to those killing fields. It cared not for friend or foe. Bancroft or Larodan, its blade chopped them down all the same, like lambs on butcherin day, and it didn’ matter how many bolts we put into the damn thing, it just kept churnin through,”
- A survivor’s account, scribed by Syr Halonquin
Appearance
When first manifested, an Iron Revenant appears like any other soldier encased in full armor, though a dark mist, like iron powder, has been observed by those who have survived their encounters with these entities.
It is with time that the war gheists change. Growing different as they enact violence and sow death across the mortal plain. Their shapes twist and warp as their rageful magnetism binds more parts to their carapace. Swords, wands, helmets, spears and plate, all those things crafted for the purpose of war and killing held by its victims seem to be shattered and consumed by a waking revenant, feeding its existence.
As they walk the land, wandering from battle to battle, they grow larger, more dangerous and stranger still.

Habitat
If an Iron Revenant isn’t sighted on the battlefield or in the midst of chaos, be sure that it is headed there. First awakened at the sites of bloody combat, these soldier’s banes are merely one of the many twisted scavengers that follow the aftermath of war. They can be found anywhere in Arethil, but there will be more in regions that see regular conflict.
