The Wandering Mausoleums
The Wandering Mausoleums are great cathedral-bells perched on slow stone legs, drifting across the Lands Between with no apparent destination. They are tombs: 'the mausoleum is where the bodies of soulless demigods are lain to rest'. Their guards are headless: the armour is 'worn by headless knights who endlessly guard the Wandering Mausoleum'.
Each mausoleum carries a single function for the Tarnished: ringing the great bell at its heart twice respites the body of a demigod, allowing the Tarnished to duplicate the Remembrance they hold. The surcoat of their soldiers 'depicts the mausoleum bell, which rings in constant mourning for the soulless demigods'.
Armor worn by headless knights who endlessly guard the Wandering Mausoleum. The wing-shaped ornaments on its back evoke the Deathbird. A self-inflicted curse that ties the spirits of these loyal knights to the land, having willingly beheaded themselves so that they may serve their masters in death.
Metal greatshield painted with a sun in eclipse. Carried by the headless mausoleum knights. The eclipsed sun, drained of color, is the protective star of soulless demigods. It aids the mausoleum knights by keeping Destined Death at bay.
