Crest of Mallander Linds, the Fallen Knight

Item · 440 gp · Weight 0.25

Mallander Linds was one of the most notable and controversial figures of the Third Crusade. The debate still rages whether his valiant feats of strength and his willingness to make sacrifices in the name of the Crusade balance out the unholy crime that was exposed after a purge by the Inquisition. It was revealed that Mallander Linds had been practicing the forbidden, dark arts of magic, turning this knowledge against the demons. Shortly after the discovery, Linds decided to let the debate about his dubious methods rage on without him and secretly left Kenabres in the dead of night alongside a group of likeminded deserters. Thereafter, they waged their own war against demons, tracking down and destroying small enemy groups, but ultimately all the members of Mallander Linds's squad fell in battle. Scouts discovered evidence that, with each passing year, Linds had been descending ever deeper into his private Abyss of the dark arts. He would have sacrificed everything for victory, but the question still remains whether he was a hero or a traitor.
