Remembering fire and lightning

Posted by Laric on 01/11/19
Citizens of Arx,

A thousand years ago at the end of the Reckoning, our Compact swore that that so long as Arx endured, its people would never forget the sacrifices made to ensure our survival and just as importantly, our freedom. Few of these sacrifices were more poignant than those made by the Metallic Order and its allies. Though many of its oldest members fell in Arx's last stand, the Metallics continued to protect and support our people for centuries afterwards.

The Great Fire and the sacking of the Archives during the Crownbreaker Wars caused us to forget them and our promise, but in the last decade we have begun to remember and rediscover our lost history.

It is my honor to announce that the Faith of the Pantheon has decided two of these remembered heroes, Cobalt of the Metallic Order and Brimstone of the Gold Guard, are worthy of being memorialized in the Hall of Heroes. This evening they joined their comrades in the main hall and can be found beside one another, together in death as they were in life. I invite you all to visit them.

As Arx endures, we will never forget.

Were it not for the creations of these two people, we would not have been so successful against the Gyre and his followers. Their legacy lives on, as it should.
