Upon the walls of Drakenhof Castle and other Vampire-haunted keeps of Sylvania patrol tireless warriors clad in ancient armor and wielding glowing blades. These dread sentries are the Grave Guard - Wights drawn from their ancient tombs to act as guardians for the Vampire rulers of Sylvania. Although their bodies have decayed leaving only bones and tattered flesh, Grave Guard are held together by evil magic so strong that it has endured for centuries. They wear ancient battle gear of bronze and black iron, corroded by time and dusty with the years. These eerie, silent sentinels stand constant vigil on the crumbling battlements and at the iron-bound gates, never resting, eternally ready to defend their Vampire master. When a Vampire marches forth, its Grave Guard advance at the vanguard of the Undead host. They form a formidable corps of warriors, protected by heavy armor, their enchanted blades cutting down the toughest of enemies.
