The Boots of the Crusader (also known as the Boots of Kynareth) were created by Kynareth. The wearer will not be attacked by creatures of the forest. Sir Juncan of the original Knights died while searching for the boots. The pilgrim visited the Shrine of Kynareth, and was told the location of the “Grove of Trials” by the high priestess (later to become Sir Avita Vesnia). Kynareth tested the pilgrim by sending the Forest Guardian, a giant bear, to attack them. When the pilgrim didn’t fight back, having reverence for nature, Kynareth allowed them entrance to the grotto where the boots were hidden.
The greaves were created by either Mara or Akatosh. Sir Berich Vlindrel of the original Knights discovered the greaves, and brought them to the War of the Red Diamond. They were buried with him in his family tomb in Underpall Cave. Sir Roderic of Wayrest and his squire Lathon, following the call of the prophet, recovered the greaves from the cave. Sir Roderic was then slain by the wraith of Lord Vlindrel, but Lathon escaped and brought the greaves to the Priory of the Nine. The pilgrim accepted them, and avenged Sir Roderic’s death by freeing Lord Vlindrel of the evil which had ensnared his soul.
