the interesting question is why we don't see any in TFL. with 4 sorcerors instead of one, you'd think that there would be plenty of want for some arrow invincible powerful infantry.
that being said, unfortunately, we can rule out the explanation that they are new technology, due to their existance at ancient tombs.
on the other hand, maybe the fallen lords aren't who makes them, but rather lesser sorcerors who still know the secret, or, maybe the dream for them is lost, and all that is left are the residual guards at the kildaer manor, and guarding the tomb of the crown.
