The Angelic Empire Q’RATH

Exalted Warrior Zentari

Those whose fury yet burns are given the mail and blade of the Zentari. Translating to “Those-who-are-the-sword”, Zentari serve Orzum as living weapons of the Empire. Initially a ceremonial guard to the Throne of Aros, the disappearance of the Godhead and the ascension of Orzum as Regent Imperium saw the order reforged for dedicated assault. Standing ten feet tall and clad in three layers of consecrated platemail, the Zentari are literal juggernauts, who wade effortlessly into the thick of battle.

Dominion Enforcer Scepter

It is said that Orzum’s prayer hung in the charged air of the Empty Throne, winding its way across the long-stretched heavens to the Godhead. It is whispered that Aros, moved by the oath of its scion, granted one last boon to its distant sun. Thus, from rumbling light and halls-rung-hard-as-bells, did emerge a new line of angel, woven from fresh-spun fire, clad in star-tempered armor, before the Arash of Reclamation. To Orzum they spoke thus:

“Orzum, Scion of the Godhead and Regen Imperium, heed these words, for they are Aros. Be known that we are the Scepter, symbol of your righteous reign, the mark of a new covenant between the Third of Sha’mesh and First Arash. Know that you are the crown and the bulwark, living citadel of the Empire, and the bane of the barbarian. As you strike forth, we shall be the bite of your blade, the weight of your scepter. Where you decree, we shall smite from this world.”

Exalted Savior Sao’shin

Bearing the namesake of Priest-Queen Saos of the pre-Q’rathi realm of Hhin, the Sao’shin are one of the few remnants of the world before the Godhead Aros and its lineage descended from the heavens. Today, the ranks of the Sao’Shin are bolstered by those that pass the Kor’Shar trails through their boundless and unrelenting compassion. Clad in heavy armor unwieldy to normal humans, these exalted souls cast themselves into battle, raising up the souls of the lost from the clutches of the damned. The Saoshin replaces the Magi.

Salvation Shrine Ark Mother

During the founding, there were those among the vaunted caste of Shar’myz who were so moved by Ajari’s devotion to the mortal and the heathen that they left the vaunted halls of the Acropolis to dwell amongst the Empire’s early denizens. To protect Q’rath’s human subjects from their tempestuous light, these wayward Shar’myz contain their essence in reinforced war shrines. So concentrated is this sacred compassion that creation actively recoils from violence in its vicinity. Those that would seek to profane these sacred vessels find themselves and their attacks physically repelled. In times of trial, the war shrines, called Arks, open, unleashing a storm of roiling light, parting arrow and spell from faithful soldier.
