Crucible Axe Knight

Medium Humanoid - CR 15

The Crucible Axe Knight is a formidable warrior, clad in ornate armor that shimmers with a chaotic yet mesmerizing brilliance. Once serving the first Elden Lord, their presence emanates an unsettling aura of honor intertwined with dread, a testament to their bygone glory and the scorn they now inspire. Their moves are both graceful and aggressive as they fluidly wield their greatsword and Crucible Hornshield, utilizing ancient incantations that channel the primal essence of the crucible.

Appearance

Dressed in heavy armor adorned with axe motifs, the Crucible Axe Knight's visage is a mix of regal and terrifying, with a helmet that obscures their face but leaves their fiery eyes visible. The armor itself appears to shift and distort light, hinting at the chaotic energies contained within, while their sword and shield bear intricate patterns that denote their connection to both battlefield and eldritch powers.
