Sir Shandlar of Eberyn was a knight and a heroic figure among the people of Eberyn on Dominaria. He appears to have been left-handed.[1]
Description
Sir Shandlar was a distinguished, bearded knight in full armor, standing proudly with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. His armor was detailed, featuring intricate designs and a cape draped over one shoulder. The background of his depiction is ornate, with swirling patterns and classical motifs, likely set in Eberyn itself. Shandlar's expression is one of stoic determination, embodying the virtues of bravery and honor. The overall composition conveys a sense of nobility and valor, characteristic of a legendary warrior. His enduring legacy served as a beacon of hope and determination for the Eberyn militia, ensuring that his spirit lived on through their continued bravery and solidarity.[2]
The people of Eberyn faced a powerful foe they needed to rally against even after Shandlar's death.[2] As no mention of Eberyn has been made since, Shandlar's people may have been wiped out entirely by their foes, despite their morale and bravery. The location of Eberyn is not known.
Trivia
- Shandlar has the dubious distinction of being the first card in Magic: The Gathering to be "killed by his own flavor text".
