Description
The Sacred Steel Templars believed their contemporaries had dishonored the Forger legacy. Disappointed, they turned to stone, convinced they would awaken when the world was a better place… But I digress, I’ll continue with this story later. Now to my notes:
There is a type of templar that responds to the call of steel, Aran only needs to touch them to awaken.
However, there are some that only awaken when pecked by an iridescent crow. I have no idea why, but that’s how it is.
Continuing from where I left off:… Once petrified, the templars realized with horror that they remained conscious, trapped inside stone statues! No one could hear their panicked screams. They all lost their minds… But I’ll finish the story later, now back to my notes:
The Templars are graceful, light, and elegant swordsmen. The price they pay for this is a fragile defense, so it’s a good idea to get up close.
Perhaps due to the petrification, the templars need a ritual to catch their breath. This is the ideal moment to finish them off.
It was their spiritual leader who planted the seed of petrification in the minds of the Templars but they did not know that he was an Authark, an enemy sent to destroy the order from within.
They also did not know that the petrification spell was Thaumaturgist in nature or that the price they would pay would be horror and madness, forever trapped in stone.
Now I understand why they attack us as soon as they awaken. I don’t blame them, but it’s them or us.
