traditional weapons and wearing heavy armor, battle effigies are
often decorated with clan insignias and runes to proudly proclaim
to all who has made them.

decoration set up alone or in matching pairs along hallways and
flanking doorways leading into vauits and erypts. However, under
certain conditions designated by its Creator, a battle effigy shifts
position and attempts to block the passage or doorway that it
