The Twin-tailed Crusade is surging across the wild terrains of Aqshy and Ghyran, led by a new wave of visionary commanders. Among these luminaries stands First Marshal Tahlia Vedra, an indomitable figure spearheading the Dawnbringer Crusades. In this uncharted battleground of fiery determination and unwavering resolve, she guides her charges beyond the perilous wilderness surrounding Hammerhal.
A Trailblazing Commander
As your journey unfolds with your own Castelite formation, acquaint yourself with the iconic leader steering one arm of the crusade – Tahlia Vedra, often referred to as the Lioness of the Parch. Her resolute visage embodies the essence of the Dawnbringer Crusades, and she’s the mastermind behind its military innovations. Cherished by her troops and dreaded by her adversaries, Vedra’s ingenuity led to the creation of the Castelite formation. Recognizing that a better-armored infantry could achieve steady advancement where other crusades faltered.*
The Rise of a Legend
Tahlia Vedra’s ascent to power was nothing short of meteoric, riddled with political machinations aimed at thwarting her. Yet, her unyielding pragmatism thwarted their schemes. On the Eve of Four Killings, she exposed and quelled four plots against her, displaying her ruthless resolve by adorning her saddle with the decapitated heads of the conspirators.**
Architect of Reform
Vedra’s expertise in warfare spawned pivotal military reforms that steered Freeguilds toward a new era of sustainable conflict. The impregnable shield walls of Castelite formations, devised within a mere week during the Battle of Cursemarsh, and the innovative Gunners siege defense that followed, revolutionized how ordinary human soldiers confronted vastly superior forces. By safeguarding her troops, she fostered camaraderie within their ranks, culminating in Tahlia’s stylized imagery adorning Hammerhal Aqsha.
Lioness in Battle
A leader par excellence, Vedra’s prowess in combat matches her leadership acumen. Mounted atop the fearsome Infernadine, a manticore, she strikes terror into Order’s adversaries, casting them into the dust. Her mutual understanding with Infernadine defies the treacherous nature of manticore-human relations, as both recognize the other’s potency. Infernadine wields a paralyzing venom that intimidates foes in combat.
