''The procesion of the Dismal Saint, ever since a knight spurned by the Lords murdered the Divine guarding over the bethrothal of Her subjects, has taken place on top of the High Wall for centuries.

The ones forced to partake in this arduous  ritual have their robes drenched in burning and itching mucilage and resin, and are forced to both defile and devour flesh of any new arrivals atop the High Wall, hence their bloated and sickly skin.

Their candlesticks, hailing from Castle Leofrick, are catalysts for casting chaotic flames - red fire capable of harming Snow-Clad Hildegard herself, and are exceptionally useful against Undead and those clad in thick armor alike.

The Saint watches over his subjects, donning the mask of a bird, hinting at the ability to course through the icy winds above the High Wall. Masks such as these were normally a sign of peace, yet are now shirked as an omen of the Saint's terror, who is above all a follower of the sickly High Priestess Alynna who resides in Leofrick's Abode.

Once a proper cleric, he rose through the ranks. However, a lack of power caused Knight-King Rendall to give him an occult spear hewn from ebony chuncks, which corrupted him into a black shade of his former self.''
