As the party began it's descent, an ancient inscription declared this to be the tomb of the Green Knight. Several party members had some knowledge of the hero.
The Green Knight was one of the most prominent figures in the early history of the worship of Sehanine. He was the defining persona of a paladin. His piety led him into numerous battles for his goddess and always resulted in victory for her. During his early years, he used two artifacts of exceptional power , The Invulnerable Coat of Arnd and The Orb of Light.
The Green Knight faced many demons and devils in his day. His most famous victory was over an Aspect of Orcus that threatened to open a portal to the abyss. Unfortunately, when defeating him, the taint of evil entered the noble knight and he was never the same. It was said this taint changed him enough that the artifacts he had used for so many years would no longer respond to him.
After his horrific battle with the Aspect of Orcus, and subsequent infusion of evil, he was locked away and nursed by the church, hoping to restore him to his former self. Unfortunately, he died, never having fully cleansed the evil in his soul. There is a legend the two artifacts he used for so many years can be found in his tomb, waiting for another champion of good to wield them.
