Esarim: Not as Angelic as they Appear

The Esarim were Holy Light-infused champions during the Great War.


History[]

The Esarim came about as a result of King Alford Menethil's desire for a more efficient Inquisition. Upon request, Archbishop Thomas Marden made several inquiries and unearthed some ancient records of my Church of the Holy Light. He believed that if they were to form the Inquisition, they would need strong men and women, free of sin, to lead it. Marden theorized that if they used the old rituals of binding, they could infuse select warriors with the Holy Light, turning them into its avatars. This process may have been used in the past by pagans to create champions of heathen gods, but in the hands of the Holy Light, it could be a miracle.


Thomas took initiative on suggesting several candidates to lead this new order. One was a priest under my wing, Cerzimon, who would succeed Marden upon his death. The other was captain of the guard, Friedrik de Mon, a man of virtue. Alford gave his royal permission to proceed with these rituals as long as they don't endanger his subjects and instructed him to approach Captain de Mon with the proposal and recruit the necessary warriors.

A group of fifty men and women were selected and chosen to be empowered by the ritual. They were announced to the world in a ceremony held in Lordaeron’s Capital City.

Esarim sport ornate plate mail filled with religious glyphs and even written prayers to the Holy Light, as well as all manner of weapons and shields. Their eyes shine with a uniform golden color, and the ornaments in their armor are as brilliant as hot iron. A faint aura surrounds each of them, at times looking like a halo and long Light-based tendrils extending from their backs, giving each the appearance of having wings that slowly waved to a non-existent wind. Their motto is “Esarus that no'Darador,” which is in an ancient tongue and means "By Blood and Honor we serve".
