Gate at Brizoor Waal (RPA-ADVF)
After the battle at Nebblis, Plane of Flame, King Taron comments on your wearing of the Immortal Helm;
“You handle yourself well in battle. We of Nalos are lucky to have you. Did Tarik tell you about the…” King Taron cuts himself short, pointing at the side of your helm. “….well, never mind,” he says. “You’ll discover its secrets soon enough, I’m sure.” - Gate of Brizoor Waal (RPA-ADVF)
Following the events at Brizoor Waal, a navigational system seems to have activated about the Immortal Helm;
Ever since the gate opened, the Immortal Helm has been acting strangely. It makes noises at times and projects odd images into your eye when you wear it. You guess these are maps, perhaps maps of the planes and their connections, but none of the paths it suggests leads to Brizoor Waal. Instead there are little shifting pockets of activity all over Nalos where a link might be made to some other place. When time and safety permit, you may explore one of these sites and see where it takes you. - Gate of Brizoor Waal (RPA-ADVF)

Something seems to go wrong with the projected image of the Immortal Knight. At first it flickers in and out of existence, but then the Immortal Knight’s form appears to change.

The only thing that remains constant is the bright red armor. - Deathmatch at the Colosseum of Ashes (RPA-SQ1)

Song of the Immortal Knight
When she broke the veil and forged our world
Azema’s flame lit torches three
The crimson blade and plate and helm
To warm our hearts immortally
These three were claimed by one so brave
To climb the pyre of her bones
And pledge forever after that
Allegiance to the crown of Nalos
Oh Nalos, oh Nalos
Is her flame still burning bright
In the helm and plate and blade
Of your immortal knight
Excerpt from the Immortal Knight's Journey
By Tarik Nowlin
Earning the rank of champion, the Immortal Knight was offered his freedom by the Grandmaster of Games. Refusing, he demanded liberty for all combatants. Amused by this request, the Grandmaster agreed to release one gladiator of the Immortal Knight's choosing. It was through this means that King Taron was freed. After many more years in the colosseum, the Immortal Knight followed his lord back to Ulos. He found, to his dismay, that King Taron had built an arena of his own, subjecting combatants to the same cruelty he had witnessed in the Colosseum of Ashes.
