Swordsmen

Faction: Devout

The Devout Swordsmen are the mainstay of the Dark Lord’s Army, fanatical and unrelenting troops who know neither fear nor hesitation. Unlike most of the dark forces of the Devout, the Swordsmen are virtually its only human soldiers; humans who have voluntarily given up their souls and wills to serve the cause of their eternal Master. Beneath full helms emblazoned with the symbol of their faith, the swordsmen move with a determination born of the knowledge that should their lives end in the service of their Master, they will rise up and serve again, and again, and again.
