Default Orion the eternal knight & description : bug ?

Orion the Eternal Knight :
"The Eternal Knights swore to serve the Holy Father of Eldregate and were granted immortality ....."

the point is 'immortality '

As I see they are not immortal at all
they are just really tough and regenerate and fire resistant....

So what about this description that talks of immortality ?

I'm a little confused
if someone could explain to me

Immortal in the sense that they are still alive, while they were born a long long time ago at the time of living Ermor, before the Cataclysm. But they can die in combat. Thats immortality against passing time if you prefer.

"Eternal youth" or some such might be a better term than "immortality", as they can get killed; they just won't die of old age.

(Hmm, sounds like they should be immune to the Burden of Time spell, actually.)

Speaking of BoT, the description of Summon Treelord states that "Treelords have very long lifespans." Are they immune to BoT too? Or at least have a greatly reduced effect? Come to think of it, the Sidhe should also suffer less, as should many magic beings.

I assume anything that actually has the Immortal ability is immune...

Just one thing... Highlander!
Regenerates and don't die of old age. Only decaptation works. And still he is THE immortal.
