Miltiades

Miltiades: Although not specifically referred to as a death knight, a skeletal undead paladin named Miltiades appears in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting and the books Pools of Darkness and Pool of twilight. Militadies grew up in the city of Turell. He was it's steward and champion.Due to his service, he was given the Holy Sheild of Tyr, a magical war helm, and a runic sword of Tyr. For 50 years he faithfully guraded the city, until the warrior-wizard Zarl attacked. The city was beseiged for 1 yesar, during wich time he personaly slew many (number not given) of Zarl greatest warriors. Zarl never challenged Militadies, so Militadies snuck into Zarl's camp one night and slew him dishonearbly. Miltiadies was than slain by all of Zarls men, and Turell was sacked and destroyed without it's protector. Tyr refused to allow Militadies to die and rest in honor, leaving his spirit to wander. 1,000 years later, Tyr raised Militadies from his sleep to find the lost city of Phaln, which had been stolen by Bsane's minojns, the red wizard Marcus and the pit fien Tantal. Upon the resurection of Miltadies, he met Ren'O the Blade, Evaine and her familar Gamaliel, and the druid cousins Androlson and Talenthia. Upon his reawakning, Militadies slew the ghost of Zarl, but during the battle Tarl destroyed the Holy Shield of Tyr. Militadies and the above mentioned companion rescued Phlan, and Militadies went back to sleep.

A few years late Tyr once again raised Militadies to help the son of Shal and Tarl find and recover the hammer of Tyr. At the edn of the succesful mission, the paladin of Tyr called Trooper gave his soul to Tyr to restore Militdies to life. Militadies and Evaine has since stated a relationship, but their prior duities have put it on hold.--8thGhazneth 17:28, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
