The party has found a fallen knight!

Fallen so long, they are naught but bone and scattered panoply. What happened, one wonders?

Amongst mail and rusted sword, lance and shattered shield, the pitiful remains, might be found ...

01. A silken scarf tucked between armour and ribcage, embroidered with droplets and yet unstained by death and rot
02. A packet of thick leather, stitched and waxed all over, seal still intact
03. A twist of half-decayed green cloth tied around one bicep, faint traces of ink -- an inscription? -- still visible
04. The teeth in the bare jaws are noticeably fang-like, said jaws closed around a sunstone
05. A broken dagger-blade between pale ribs, translucent and black
06. Gold-wrapped threads still tracing the details of a coat of arms on a tabard long rotted; a motif of a style unknown in these lands
07. A small sealed horn flask engraved "dragonsblood"
08. Two rings on fingerbones; one of slim tarnished silver, the other golden and embossed with a famed knight-order's emblem
09. A single feather, colourless and luminescent and long as a forearm, exposed in its pocket in a rotting scabbard
10. Around the neck -- or where it should be -- a heavy herringbone chain of gold and sapphire; royal gift, or royal ...
11. The sternum of the fallen is pierced by a handspan and more of a unicorn's horn
12. A slim circlet of a translucent blue-gold metal, tumbled a short distance from the skull
