Upon realizing that the Lady of the Lake had descended, the morale of the Elil Knights soared even higher, and they began to fight with fierce intensity. The Lady of the Lake was revered in the Elil faith as the guide who led fallen knights to heaven.

One of the distinctive traits of the Elil Knights was that they grew stronger the more they were consumed by the frenzy of battle.
“Nimloth, witness my battlefield!”
One of the Elil Knights, consumed by madness, let out a ferocious roar and, with a single strike, cleaved a Keshik warrior in two.
