Warchanter Skyriders

Description

Among the warrior temples of the Starborn Ancients, there is one place where children are brought neither for the glory of their bloodline nor by the command of prophecy. It is there that the sons of warriors who suffered the most terrible death known to their people are taken. Their parents fell within the Abyss, their souls lost among its maddening currents, denied the chance to return to their ancestors or find peace. From early childhood, these young warriors feel the emptiness left behind by the fallen. For others, it would be nothing but grief. For them, that pain becomes their first touch upon the powers hidden beyond the boundaries of the material world. Thus begins the path of the Warchanter Skyriders.

Within the walls of their temple, they learn to turn sorrow into a weapon. They are trained in the use of blade and spear, the art of high speed aerial combat, offensive sorcery, and protective magic. Years of training transform each Warchanter into a warrior sorcerer capable of fighting with both body and mind. They summon fire and lightning, tear through space with surges of psychic power, and unleash upon their enemies spectral tempests filled with the echoes of fallen souls. Some of the oldest Warchanters can even alter the flow of time for brief moments, accelerating their own movements or causing a killing blow to pass through the place where their body stood only an instant before.

Yet a true sky formation is born only when a Seeress Skyrider joins the squad. The Seeress binds the minds of the warriors into a single whole and becomes their eyes beyond the present. She sees attacks that have not yet been made, deaths that can still be avoided, and opportunities that will exist for only a few heartbeats. The Warchanters sense her intent before any command is given. Under her guidance, they change formation with impossible precision, evade projectiles before they are fired, and strike where the enemy is only about to be.

When the Warchanter Skyriders charge, the heavens ignite with them. Their spears blaze with imprisoned power, their blades leave trails of fire behind them, and lightning and spectral tempests rage around their speeding machines. They tear through enemy formations like a celestial spear, shattering entire battle lines in a single devastating assault before vanishing faster than the survivors can return fire. To the warriors of the Starborn Ancients, their arrival resembles the shining knights of ancient legend descending from the heavens. To their enemies, it is merely a blinding flash before death.

But sorrow always hides beneath that radiance. Every Warchanter is the child of a soul lost to the darkness, and each knows that one day their own fate may end in exactly the same way. Perhaps that is why they never slow down. As long as an enemy remains ahead, while the thoughts of their brothers and the voice of their Seeress remain beside them, the sky formation continues its flight. For them, to stop is to finally hear the voices of those whom the Abyss never released.
