The Black Sun Cult has less restrictive morals and is eager to do whatever it takes. While lacking in speed, they enable the wielder to attack from a safe distance, avoiding most counterattacks. Only the Covenant’s champions can wield the order’s powerful maces and hammers, blessed in the holy waters of the Argentek for maximum impact.Īlthough a less common sight, some champions of the Church are seen wielding jousting lances. The holy warriors of the Covenant prefer heavy one-handed or two-handed crushing weapons to shatter the bones of their enemies. But all agree that whatever the outcome, it is in humanity’s best interest to banish all influence of the Burning Hells from Sanctuary. Scholars believe that the schism between the two orders heralds an all out civil war in the High Heavens about the fate of Sanctuary. For the High Heavens to win the Eternal War, its acolytes argue, humanity must be cleansed from Sanctuary. The sinister Black Sun Cult, under the command of an avatar of the angel Imperius, sees mankind as inherently unstable and prone to fall to demonic temptation. By joining forces against the demonic legions, the armies of Man and Angel would be able to deliver the death blow to the Burning Hells. The Covenant of the Golden Flame, led by a prophet who claims to receive instructions directly from the angel Auriel, preaches unity and brotherhood among the faithful of Zakarum and the destruction of those who work against the Church.
Although many feared for a holy war, the leaders of the sects agreed to close their ranks and work together against the common foe unfettered by infighting and distrust. From the ashes of the old orders, two sects with a radically different interpretation of the Akaran scriptures and diametrically opposite morals arose. The faithful of the Light looked elsewhere for answers and banded together around the new prophets. The weakening influence of the central Church in Kehjistan and the mysterious disappearance of the Que-Hegan only contributed to the chaos. The Median XL paladin class is an armour-clad heavyweight who can take a beating and return the favours with physical and elemental melee attacks and spells.Īfter the fall of the Hand of Zakarum, the paladin orders disbanded one by one or were torn apart by internal conflicts.
