AVALONIAN PILGRIM
– But I had told him not to attack the priest, but he only saw the fragility of the man of faith. When targe stopped his blade, he wondered. When the plague fell upon his face, he was no longer thinking. – Shut up and let me treat teeth that the pilgrim has left him …
In Avalon and elsewhere, it is often better to be born noble and rich as poor peasant. But the nobility of the kingdom includes many totally different fates. Thus, like the knight errant is a life that has little in common with that of a local potentate, the pilgrim is generally unenviable.
Tradition has it that the first boy to be born of each family to take the path of weapons and participated in the defense of the realm by joining the prestigious Order of Knights. The other son, according to their affinities and obsessions of their father, have to some extent much less responsibility and more freedom than their elders. Yet sometimes even if it is not to retain the title, some of them also want to defend Avalon and participate in the family effort. The opportunities available to them so however much less shining than their big brother: they have the choice between joining the soldiery and therefore fight without graft, as second-class patriots, or become a novice of the Temple, thus abandoning their own lineage to come and swell the ranks of anonymous servants of one of the monasteries.
Given the impossibility to realize their dream, the most determined choose to become pilgrims. They then returning clerics service and serve as their bodyguard, taking unnecessary risks to ensure their safety and prove their value. Like the knight errant has a graft but no land, peregrine indirectly owns land but no graft and will do everything in his power to keep his master alive. Indeed, only its survival proves the courage of the young man and gives him a chance to be offered one day the precious seed.
It lacked a bodyguard to Avalonian faction, the Pilgrim effectively fills this gap. Leave it to within 2 inches of a figurine to be protected and this is the pilgrim who goes wild: – Guard allows him to take the place of that figure; – Expert (Parade) offers him a fourth dice to parry the blow and return a; – No Fault and eventually drive the point where the jet of the opponent is really too good …
In short, it will become difficult to attack the non-combatants of Avalon Heroes!
TEMPLAR COLLECTOR-MONK
Degann ânonna chooses some stones and a short prayer. Novices felt their fists held more firmly their spears, they were able to wear more blows on opponents. The collector still approached some of them and the two Ravens were surprised to see that, despite the power of their attack, they had not lost their timeliness.
Although their equally happen to work alone or with a small team of handpicked servants, collectors brothers accompany equally regular armies. But their role has nothing to do with that of the country priests. Here, no vis-à-vis the people compassion or desire to preserve his faith, their mission is both more sinister and essential for the Church.
Indeed, they are responsible for ensuring that the least pleasant part of the Avalon binding pact to the tree of life is respected: the return of hosts and symbionts in Beathacrann for him to nourish. Thus, these men have the mission to fetch the bodies of vanquished heroes at the heart of the fighting or the enemy camp, braving the dangers that have just floored. Then, they must return to KerKastel, charged with a recognizable and generally very impressive carrion, to abandon a still worse fate than death in the tentacles of the venous tree. If many people to suffer their living conditions or hardness of the kingdom, only collectors brothers regularly contemplate the horror. Because their faith is often thin face protection to such a show and it is not unusual for their minds, yet driven, reeling.
But those who hold up sooner or later get used to the horrors and fear. Knowing they too will join the Beathacrann after their death, they approach every situation with the same equanimity that is chilling to their opponents and cheered their companions. Some did try to escape and regain the mere privilege to rest in peace, but apart from the legendary renegade brother Cestus, all succumbed to other collectors started in pursuit.
Here Alchemist Temple sub-faction! But beware, it may as well be integrated into a conventional Avalonian list where its 3 PA will be highly appreciated. Besides its ability to act, the combination of spells and ability will make it a favorite target of opponents. Imagine Vitae Angelus with your allies get the competence Expert (Brutal) or Expert (Normal) if they already had, and if the collector is less than 4 ”, your allies do not die penalty. Place an “Brutale” without penalty rate, what fun! And if that’s not enough, combine with the Benevolence Beathacrann and your allies will even get a bonus dice.
To say that there are gossips to criticize the gifts of the Tree Life!
AVALONIAN COLOSSUS
The forest seemed to be opening before me and what I had taken for a deformed tree began to move at a slow pace. My companions still had not noticed, but the decline Avalonian recruits made them look up. I saw pale as I felt all my hair stand on end. This thing had been a man, but what had they done to him? When its mass fell between us, I realized that the time was not subtle questions …
The Avalonian colossus, with retiarii, the other main aberration that regularly use the kingdom’s armies. Making the size of at least two men, his name is all but usurped: his arms are as big as a tree trunk and thighs as wide as the bust of a knight. His overall appearance, gigantic, grotesque plant also is similar to the monsters people whose stories for children. But on the battlefield, facing their worst fear, it is indeed adults – not the least brave – taking their legs to their necks rather than confront the brutal colossus.
Other works by the Avalonian Church, the colossi are recruited from the same population as the retiarii: poor children that no regret and everything indicates that they will become real forces of nature. We then floods the force of Beathacrann favors, until they can no longer absorb without dying. It goes without saying that the errors are numerous.
It thus strengthens the alchemically to saturation and then gives them a large number of seeds that change irreversibly the body of the child, developing muscle mass as quickly as reduced intellectual capacity. But the result is there: these creatures are resistant to pain that would have floored many Templars, can knock down a wall of a punch and are largely able to turn the tide of a battle. However, their use is tightly controlled by the Church: a colossus control is not easy and it is essential that, once dead, his body returns to Beathacrann so that its seeds and its sap is returned to him. It is not rare that they are surrounded collectors brothers.
AVALONIAN TEMPLAR
For the Queen and for the Church, for the Earth and for the Faith, For the blood and iron, by law and justice, to the Temple and the holy Beathacrann, and We will pass.
The Templars existed long before Avalon. Formerly responsible for protecting the alchemists and their laboratories, they are the warrior elite of the seven baronies and their history is intimately linked to it. By pushing back the armies of the Triad jade, they allowed man who would become Caedmon and his men to take sufficiently in advance to set up their own kingdom. And it is for this feat remembering that the Church now has three monasteries: Mâtines, Vespers and Compline. Since then they have obviously developed their own characteristics, but when the threat is urgent or that the Church must defend its interests, the Templars are the three monasteries forehead and bring to the front the fighting, all united under the double banner Avalon and Beathacrann.
The Templars are primarily living symbols of the determination of the kingdom and of his unwavering faith. Athletes thick and rough body, long trained to unparalleled discipline firmly in the heavy armor of Obsius the colors of their monastery, they wield a powerful shield and sword which they can use both a hand of two. Thus protected, you must deploy an uncommon aggressiveness to flush out and when they are well supported by novices units or inspired enough officers, they have the reputation of being invincible.
But even more, it is their religious fervor and conviction to always act for justice and common law, as requested by the Church, even allowing these men to use their last resources to keep and hit their enemies with unfeigned savagery. They are an example to other soldiers, but it is likely that if they were to escape, the whole army would follow in defeat.
KNIGHT ERRANT
Of the twenty-one lords present that morning at the court of Baron, not stirred. Cowran and Ser Ser Yser, who had yet covered with glory at the Battle of Marsh Kylh and reminded incessantly, exchanged a brief glance and bowed their heads imperceptibly. Then, the back of the room, behind the servants and some scribaillons, rose a hoarse, slow voice: “What price would you put?”
There are more devious battlefields than others. Land where courage or good armor Obsius are little thick protections to avoid low blows opponents. This is true of course and all these corrupt places where men are rewarded for their ability to monetize favors or to exchange good words than in defending his kingdom against his will, risking his life to the regent and future king.
On the land there, the knight errant – or their ancestors – almost. Also, it carries a lot of weapons, armor and Obsius of a title – and thus a graft Beathacrann – it is usually here that stops its endowment. Without land and without the possibility to live as a person of his rank or feel the freedom that is promised, so he wanders on the road, earning his food as he can. But few actually show to be generous with him, most noble consider him a pathetic and miserable people, pragmatic and realistic than usual, sees in him a source of trouble, death, suffering.
Thus, the knight errant has little choice but to do the one thing we’ve been taught to do: to fight and take unnecessary risks being noticed. He travels baronies and Aurloks occupied land for the sole purpose to participate in a great battle where he can cover himself with glory and maintain its own legend, hoping that it comes to the ears of a sovereign wishing either give land or take to its service. Often, whatever his employer as he may assign him land. But regularly, prevents the hunger anyway to be watching. Both the employer and the balance …
AVALONIAN RETIARUS
I say to you: the best time is when it finally understands What can do anything … There’s beautiful s’débattre like a fish out of water, y’fait that tighten the embrace of my graft on its pauv lil life! For sure, the j’pourrais kill quickly but J’Peux not help but make it last a little, to savor the moment a little bit longer. The best is when there r’marque this and that to believe that I hesitate. The cellar, y’se gives hope. It was then that I put the coup de grace. Zounds, I love serving Beathacrann!
The cycles were beautiful pass some abominations recall the same origin Avalon: a small group of alchemists extremists who wanted to experiment on human guinea pigs the same manipulations on chimeras. Chief among these are the retiarii, true half-human, half-plant creatures who act as skirmishers on the sidelines of enemy armies. Surpassing other a good head or two the retiarii almost resemble towering soldiers, powerfully built and usually sporting a smile as vicious bloodthirsty. But their graft, a giant tentacle plant, reminds everyone that they are not humans long ago.
Indeed, retiarii are one of many creations of Avalonian Church. Still children, they are recruited from the most violent and the sturdiest of urchins, sometimes sold by parents who believe in making future Templars, and then are subjected to a treatment which no one dares to speak. Saturated with the love of Beathacrann and fed the same vital fluid of the tree of life, they usually become much stronger and swift as their peers, at the cost of irritability and ever-increasing fury. Their training usually ends with the ceremony – that would look more like a display of officiating butcher if there was not a guardian of the faith – where grants them their graft. Their body then ends to modify, giving them a force comparable only to that of giants but also causing their pain as it plunges into some madness. The others control somehow, feeling no pleasure in fear that their allies as enemies when the sickle to cut the head of those they tangled in their monstrous tentacle.
TEMPLAR NOVICE
The Knights Templar Novices advancing a martial not confident in their own strength and the purity of their faith. The Beathacrann had he not honor all of them? Had they not devoted their whole soul to the Church as the body belonged only to the Tree of Life? Made stronger by this certainty, they marched on the enemy at gunpoint and the vibrant heart of serene determination. Feeling future eminence of combat, their symbionts already animated, eager and threatening!
When the armies of the monasteries start walking, usually guided by a constable or a steward in person, there are hundreds of Templars who go into battle, wearing proudly symbionts and swords, symbols of their order and their faith. But these valiant fighters would be nothing if they were to them the support of countless accompanying novices. Honored with a graft Beathacrann but not allowed to wear swords, they advanced towards the enemy spear in hand and faith in the heart. Combined with their arms, their discipline between all their deemed provides a surprising collective effectiveness on the battlefield. Indeed, whether to take a position by erecting a wall of pikes or to bring to the assault by protecting the flanks of their elders, they faillissent if ever, too aware of the consequences of failure.
For novices must at Temple. First of all, not to know the misery and the horrors of a life they have now abandoned, then having received the blessing of Beathacrann as a symbiont. Indeed, if we except the grim prospect of being removed from an early age to become an aberration, the Temple is the only option left to the son of the people to receive a transplant. This guarantees to always have many candidates eager to become novices – fighting undertaking to maintain the number of Templars in acceptable proportions. However, this “privilege” is not without envy, especially among puisne the best families. Nobles hostile to the Temple so we can meet regularly and doing everything possible to limit the influence, although none would be suicidal enough to say so openly.
AVALONIAN BUSHWHACKER
– You understand what he says lord?
– I know nothing.
– V’z ‘f’tes gaf‘. I’m gonna cer of the pier ‘.
– Make my brave! That these recruitment and training sessions are long and monotonous … To say that I must now attend demonstrations of rabbit hunters. What will we be able to do much of that in our party?
– Gaff ‘!
– Monseigneur … Monseigneur? do you hear me ? Would you like me to withdraw the stone of your forehead?
Chosen from all that people can count hunters and other poachers touts act as scouts and light infantry (as opposed to retiarii). They thus operate in the vicinity of the opposing army, taking advantage of their local knowledge and their relative flexibility to retrieve vital information there or to attack strategic targets but not defended. Thus touts Cumasc have made a specialty to pick up the enemy‘s innermost secrets where those Brall and especially Klarmen are real saboteurs awaiting any opportunity to poison her food or paralyze logistics .
If Avalonian strategies are often as direct as brutal (and for good reason: the troops could see it as a weakness and morale suffer), touts are generally those that allow the creativity of a general to speak and to make it a little thinner than everything goes according to his plan. Here is why these troops, although qu’issues the people, are often treated with the utmost respect, and that apart from the most foolish or less seasoned strategists, they have much more value that n ‘ seems.
But as often in Avalon, few people to look beyond appearances and arrive at this conclusion. The relative fragility of these units once hostilities have actually started doing they seem to most often of mix food or an officer’s whim. Indeed, the touts are certainly very mobile, but their lack of protection made easy targets and their meager fronds allow them at most to harass the enemy, hoping that reinforcements will arrive before they are caught.
AVALONIAN CROSSBOWMEN
– But so tidy your blade, kid, you’re gonna cut you! You want a real man of weapon? So take the straw that t’servent arm and grabs so that big crossbow good wood shaft. With that, guaranteed, you’re going to rain death on your enemies … Huh? Ben obviously it is heavy, small! The weight is the power: with s’machin you can slay two clowns with a stroke, juror. You m’crois not? You you these two, running towards us with their knives? Open up your peepers: I‘ll show you how that j’fais …
If rafters receive only the best treatment that recruits, they owe in large part to two things: the cost of equipment and training it requires. But those are the only ones to consider recruits differently, most general making only few cases of this charging point or crossbows. The main thing is that enough tiles come upon the enemy when they choose.
The rafters are, like the recruits, the son of the people since become weapons business professionals. Like them, they can be selected or be seen to impose, but for most, they have neither the desire nor the ability to always go back. Still, at one time or another someone has seen fit to entrust them with these powerful crossbows and ensure that they learn to use it. For some this may be due to a certain ease in shooting, or just with a predisposition to discipline, in others the desire to keep a little longer alive in the fray them away. Thus, one does not count the other children bastards and value servants enlisted in the ranks of archers.
However, their effectiveness on the battlefield is far from being feigned, especially if they are exalted by a country priest. When enough of, whether their shots are not more accurate or that their courage has nothing to that of a noble, their number is enough. Indeed, when they do not force enemy units to retire, they usually manage to sufficiently constrain or block for the recruits, or Knights Templar can pick as many overripe fruit.

Like them, they can be selected or be seen to impose, but for most, they have neither the desire nor the ability to always go back. Still, at one time or another someone has seen fit to entrust them with these powerful crossbows and ensure that they learn to use it. For some this may be due to a certain ease in shooting, or just with a predisposition to discipline, in others the desire to keep a little longer alive in the fray them away.

When enough of, whether their shots are not more accurate or that their courage has nothing to that of a noble, their number is enough. Indeed, when they do not force enemy units to retire, they usually manage to sufficiently constrain or block for the recruits, or Knights Templar can pick as many overripe fruit.
