Elerius Morr
Elerius Morr, the Black Vow
Knight Errant of the Bretonnian Chapel Guard
"Some pray to the Lady for light. I asked her to show me the shadows—and she did."
Elerius Morr does not ride beneath banners or blow the horn of heraldry. He moves like dusk through the ruins, unannounced and unadorned, a knight whose oaths were sworn not at court, but in silence before tombs. Among the Chapel Guard, he is both legend and warning: a man who has seen too much and still chooses to serve.
Once a promising son of Brionne, Elerius was meant for bright tournaments and noble feasts. But in his youth, his sister—a novice of the Grail cult—was taken by a wyrd-cursed knight who vanished into the heart of Mordheim. Elerius followed. Alone. And after three months in the ruins, he returned changed.
He spoke little of what he saw. Only that he buried her himself, beneath a chapel with no roof and weeping statues. He cast aside his family name, refusing inheritance, and pledged his blade to the Chapel Guard. Grandmaster Eldoran accepted without question. Since then, Elerius has fought with a relentless, unblinking fury, never asking for glory, never seeking rest.
His armor bears no sigils. His sword has no name. But those who stand near him before battle say the air around him hums faintly—like the pause before a funeral bell tolls.
