A mighty Grail Reliquae.
"The interred remains of Knights are defended violently by those whose existence gives them purpose.[2]"

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 immensly powerful body becomes a Grail Reliquae, a holy artefact used as a weapon in its own right.

Overview

Still in all its wargear, the knight's body is seated on the shoulders of Battle Pilgrims, who seek to fulfill the role of his horse. This goes to the extent of the front Pilgrim carrying the blessed skull off the Knights former steed. Another 6 Pilgrims surround the reliquae, all there to protect it with their lives. There is never a shortage of listeners for these demagogues either, for at each town or village the common people flock to the Reliquae so that they might hear, in graphic detail, the latest tales and deeds of the heroic Knight who unintentionally leads the procession. This devotion doesn't go unrewarded; For such is the power of a Grail Knight, that the pilgrims are protected by his presence even in death. Receiving a blessing from the Lady herself and empowering any who stand near such a sacred artefact. [1]
