Bulwark Vanguards | Penitent Crusade

LORE & BACKGROUND

Sent to keep the peace and ensure the most critical agents and assets of the expedition remain standing, these Bulwarks bring brutal strength wherever they are deployed. Towering and hard to rattle, they move with measured, uncanny coordination despite their hulking frames. Their countenance serves them well against the strange threats and miserable conditions that would break even staunch common soldiery.

They are elite warriors, and their preternatural loyalty and sense of duty are never in question. What differs from counterparts back home is their temper. Bulwarks posted this far from the Empire are noticeably more erratic and irritable. In camp, men whisper about the Crusade apothecary and the measured doses of a mysterious alchemical agent that the Bulwarks collect. When that supply runs thin or inconsistent, discipline slips and the Bulwarks’ measured control appears to fade.

They are deployed as a stabilizing force in a place where fear, sickness, and resentment spread fast, and where order can be the difference between an organized expedition and a collapse into chaos.
