Description and lore
An armored undead champion carries an oath past the end of life. Its damaged equipment retains the discipline of someone who still considers themselves on duty.
Old armor still carries signs of care. A repaired strap holds where the body beneath it no longer could.
The champion's challenge sounds practiced beyond counting. Duty survives in its posture even when the voice can barely shape the words.

The armored figure straightens at your approach. Its blade leaves the floor, and a ruined voice asks for the password.
“State your purpose before you take another step.”
“The words remain. Tell me why I should believe the duty does not.”
