Milarius?
muhaha...i am just an evil prognosticator of things to come.
This is from the original Sseth book:
"The Miliarius Shock Troops are the Emperor’s private bodyguards. Heavily trained and armed to the fang, these hand picked ss’ressen devote mind, body, and soul to the protection of the Empire though the continued existence of its Emperors. Their signature weapon is the dreaded bearded axe. It is said that in an expert’s hands, the bearded axe is possibly the most fearsome melee weapon ever known, able to cleave through armor and shields as if they were paper. Each and every Miliarius is trained in the use of this heavy weapon, learning to toss and twirl the blade, to use its weight to best advantage, and even to reverse their grip on the haft to strike behind an enemy’s shield. The Miliarius are the most deadly foot solders in all of Ssethregore."
They are a bit more bodyguard than the SoBW....but awesome. Yes, the Black Talons brought Milarius with them during the exodus from Ssethregore to protect the Matriarchs....
and, no, I will not spoil the proposed mechanics....
