## Stat block

The Order's tithe-keeper, four hundred years on the dragon's last winter tithe in the undercroft of Argynvostholt. Silver has grown over his plate like frost on a window. He swore it would reach the valley, and he can't let go of it.

### Traits

- **Regeneration.** The Gilded Knight regains 10 Hit Points at the start of its turn. If it took Fire or Radiant damage, this doesn't work at the start of its next turn.
- **Legendary Resistance (2/Day).** When the Gilded Knight fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead, twice a day.
- **The Tithe-Keeper.** The Order's tithe-keeper went down to the dragon's last winter tithe the night the house fell, and shut the door. The coins have grown over his armour like frost over a window. He can't let go of them, and he knows it.

### Actions

- **Multiattack.** The Gilded Knight makes two Silvered Longsword attacks.
- **Silvered Longsword.** Melee Attack Roll: +9, reach 5 ft. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) Slashing damage plus 7 (2d6) Necrotic damage.
- **Covetous Glare.** Wisdom Saving Throw: DC 16, one creature the Gilded Knight can see within 30 feet. Failure: the target has the Paralyzed condition for 1 minute, held by the look of a man watching a thief. It repeats the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
