The Headless Horseman
 |
This section contains canon info from officially published sources |
The darklord of the Winding Road. He seeks his lost head (see: Headless Horseman's Head). The Headless Horseman is a legendary figure throughout the Core and beyond, with an endless number of possible local variant origin stories.[1]
The Headless Horseman carries a wicked sickle that can cleave a person's head off with a clean blow much like a vorporal sword. He is not inhibited by most spells that impede movement, and he is unaffected by turning.[2]
Just because the Headless Horseman has passed does not mean the danger is over. The First to Follow, a mob of reanimated heads of the Horseman's past victims, usually swarm the survivors of the Horseman's attacks en masse.[3] The truly unfortunate survivors of this second wave have to face a third wave of attacks from The Last to Follow. The Last to Follow is a group of flying reanimated heads but instead of normal humanoid heads, they are the heads of medusae and maedar.[4]
The Headless Horseman played a strange and anomalous role in the Grand Conjunction..
