Knut Lyesmith was one of several disgruntled members of the Arboreals who left Khandava in the year 420 AA to find a new home amidst the Ithaqua Forest. He was killed late one night while on watch, and so despite his bravery in leading members of his pack so far north, he never witnessed the founding of Ithaqua. His soul now haunts the Underworld, seeking revenge against those of Khandava.
