Greater Wights are the elite, terrifying commanders of the undead, often arising from the remains of former kings, high priests, or legendary generals. Unlike their lesser kin, who may act on a simple, bitter instinct, Greater Wights retain a cold, tactical brilliance and the iron-willed discipline they possessed in life. They are the masters of the barrow, often found seated on rusted thrones at the heart of massive tomb complexes, surrounded by legions of subservient thralls they have personally slain and risen.
Physically, they are more robust and imposing than standard wights, often still clad in the masterwork plate armor and wielding the enchanted, notched blades of their former stations. They possess an overwhelming physical presence, boasting great Strength and good Constitution, though their absolute rejection of life and empathy leaves them with a lower Charisma. In combat, they are relentless juggernauts, capable of draining the very soul from a hero with a single, calculated strike, ensuring that any who fall before them are immediately conscripted into their eternal, silent army.
