The cataphracts are warriors of the Golden Realm, crushed by the gnoll armies of the Great Mother and the orc armies of Grumluda in the Battle of the Last River. They are described as “eagle-winged”, with the typical dark skin of southerners, brightly enameled steel and span-high hair.
Elhanen the Silent has brought exiled cataphracts and blind lion priests to the Shuttered City.
