Fyreslayers – Auric Flamekeeper
4" 5 5+ 2 To the martial society of the Fyreslayers, death in battle is considered an honour – and often a certainty. It is for this reason that the solemn Auric Flamekeepers walk amongst their brethren, committing bodies to the flames and retrieving ur-gold runes from their flesh. In this way, the fallen might one day return to fight alongside Grimnir in the Doomgron – the final battle against darkness and malice. Despite their funerary obligations, like any other Fyreslayer, the Flamekeepers are formidable warriors. They take to battle in the most dire of circumstances, where their kin seek to emulate Grimnir’s last stand against his nemesis Vulcatrix.
Each Flamekeeper carries a Masterflame Rune, a simmering ember of the First Fire that erupted in the wake of Grimnir’s shattering. Whenever a Fyreslayer warrior falls in proximity to this artefact, the blazing power within them is drawn forth; the ur-gold hammered into their body glows with a blinding light as their flesh and spirit is returned to the flames. A Flamekeeper can channel this force to bolster the runes of their brethren who remain in the fight, imbuing them with a stubborn resolve to annihilate their enemies and setting their fyresteel weapons alight. | ||
