Heralds of Ariel Command

Sisters of Twilight

Arahan and Naestra are Ariel’s heralds of mysterious origin, who first appeared during the long years of the Mage Queen's self-imposed exile from the mortal realm. Amongst the fey folk of Athel Loren the Sisters of Twilight are notable for an other-worldliness of spirit and manner, and such qualities are evident when they take to the battlefield. Any weapons the sisters touch become infused with a portion of their nature. Those wielded by Naestra become anathema to creatures of anarchy and discord, whilst Arahan’s tools of battle inflict great harm on beings with noble souls. They seldom fight from the centre of the battle line, but are instead carried through war-torn skies by one of their loyal steeds – Gwindalor, descendent of the King of Eagles, and Ceithin-Har, as hot-blooded a Dragon that has ever been flown into battle.

Abilities

• Conjoined Destiny
  Should either sister come close to death, the spirit of one flows into the other, thus healing her.
• Gwindalor's Vantage
  Gwindalor is as valuable for reconnaissance as he is for combat, sensing the most advantageous positions from which the Sisters can inflict the most harm.

Attributes

• Causes Fear
  This unit frightens all enemy units, reducing their leadership when nearby. It is also immune to fear. Fear penalties do not stack.
• Encourage
  This unit provides a Lord's aura and an encouraging unit will receive the larger of the two bonuses.
• Fire Whilst Moving
  This unit can fire while on the move.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Multi-Shot Ammunition
  This unit can switch its ammunition to fire multiple smaller shots instead of one large one. This is not as accurate or effective against large targets, but the spread of missiles can be helpful against hordes.
• Forest Stalker
  Wood Elf units gain accuracy benefits when fighting in forests.
• Very Fast
  This unit can run circles around most other units, taunting and harassing the enemy or evading its missile fire.
• Armour-Piercing Missiles
  The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
