A Grail Reliquae escorted by Battle Pilgrims.[1]

As the holy chosen of the Lady of the Lake, Grail Knights are often fanatically protected by the Battle Pilgrims. This protection doesn't stop even when the knight himself dies, as in this case, his body becomes a Grail Reliquae. Still in all its wargear, the body (often no more than a skeleton) is seated on the shoulders Battle Pilgrims, who seek to fulfill the role of his horse. This goes to the extent of the front Pilgrim carrying the horse skull in his arms and a horse piece in his mouth. Another 6 Pilgrims surround the reliquae, all there to protect it with their lives. This devotion doesn't go unrewarded; a Lady's blessing is always with this faithful (if somewhat crazed) Pilgrims.[1]
