For thousands of years, the Eldar
have been led in battle by powerful mithril clad
mages capable of wielding both martial weapons and deadly spells. A few dwarf kingdoms are said to have their
own tradition of combing arcane magic and martial might, though the number of
dwarf eldritch knights is small. In more
recent times some humans have also aspired to the way of the eldritch knight. The
existence of gnome eldritch knights remains disputed. For anyone wishing to
become such a knight, they must find an existing band willing to bestow
knighthood upon them.
