| + | == Ragn'arok == | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Cynwäll see the Rag’narok as | ||
| + | an opportunity for all the peoples of | ||
| + | Aarklash: the chance to choose their | ||
| + | own future, between Light and Darkness. | ||
| + | Th ey know that the battle will be | ||
| + | merciless and that the consequences | ||
| + | will be terrible: if Darkness wins, Creation | ||
| + | will experience an era of corruption | ||
| + | and pain. | ||
| + | Th e certainty of these truths is supported | ||
| + | daily by the reality of these | ||
| + | confl icts. Th e Dragon is deploying its | ||
| + | companies from the Ynkarô to the | ||
| + | Syharhalna. However, there are not | ||
| + | enough Cynwäll fi ghters to maintain | ||
| + | such an army, even with the support | ||
| + | of the constructs and the dragons. So | ||
| + | it is the entire population that is at war, | ||
| + | risking complete extinction if they ever | ||
| + | were to be defeated. Only faultless concentration | ||
| + | can lead them to victory in | ||
| + | these conditions! Th is is why the Cynwäll | ||
| + | lock their hearts and souls away | ||
| + | before each battle, resembling more | ||
| + | and more the constructs fi ghting by | ||
| + | their side. | ||
| + | Th e time of the Rag’narok has come | ||
| + | and the Dragon is waking from its | ||
| + | meditation. Th e only uncertainty left is | ||
| + | the future: the victor alone shall make | ||
| + | History. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Army == | ||
| + | |||
| + | The army of the Dragon is a sophisticated | ||
| + | war machine. Th e male and | ||
| + | female troopers, the specialists, the | ||
| + | constructs of all shapes and sizes, the | ||
| + | titanic dragons are all cogs that fi t into | ||
| + | the Cynwäll army with deadly precision. | ||
| + | Th e army is a lethal blade capable | ||
| + | of causing fatal damage when wielded | ||
| + | by a master of strategy. | ||
| + | Th e selsÿms constitute the main | ||
| + | body of the army; their mastery of | ||
| + | combat is rarely equaled by the regular | ||
| + | troops of the other peoples and moreover | ||
| + | their speed is that of the elves. | ||
| + | Th ey are supported by elite troops that | ||
| + | specialize in one or another aspect of | ||
| + | the Cynwäll art of war: the kestrels for | ||
| + | instance exchange their shield for a pistol, | ||
| + | to deal death with astonishing agility. | ||
| + | The varsÿms prefer fi ghting with aweapon in each hand, as they seemingly dance around the enemy. | ||
| + | At the top of the chain of command of the Dragon army, | ||
| + | one will fi nd the asadars and the khidarÿms. Th ese warriors | ||
| + | are equipped with fi ne armor that compensates for their frail | ||
| + | elven constitution. | ||
| + | Cynwäll troops are supported by distinctively shaped constructs | ||
| + | organized into regiments led by magicians. Th ough | ||
| + | the constructs might lack vivacity, it is their great resilience | ||
| + | and unbreakable morale that makes them indispensable. Th e | ||
| + | ranks of the constructs are sometimes overshadowed by the | ||
| + | imposing fi gures of the novas that hold a weapon in each of | ||
| + | their four arms, while the pulsars are hybrids with the upper | ||
| + | body of a nova mounted on a great war wheel. | ||
| + | High above the mêlée glide the dragons, the most noble and | ||
| + | most powerful creatures of Aarklash. Free roaming or ridden | ||
| + | by dragon-knights, these titans fi ll the hearts of the enemy with | ||
| + | terror and leave nothing but smoking ashes in their wake. | ||
