| Notes | The Black Guard of Hombori Tondo is a fearsome elite force tasked with protecting the interests of the city’s rulers and enforcing their will. They are an intimidating sight to behold: tall, broad-shouldered men dressed in imposing black plate armor, their faces often concealed behind dark visors, giving them an almost inhuman, monolithic appearance. Known for their brutality, unwavering loyalty, and unbreakable discipline, the Black Guard is both revered and feared by the citizens of Hombori Tondo. Description of the Black Guard • Appearance: Each member of the Black Guard stands well over six up to seven feet tall, handpicked for their size and physical power. They are dressed in black, heavy plate armor that gleams ominously, covered in intricate engravings and symbols that signify loyalty to the rulers of Hombori Tondo. Their helmets have thin eye slits, which give them an unsettling, faceless look, as though they are armored phantoms rather than men. The armor is reinforced with dark steel rivets, and some pieces bear marks of previous battles, scratches and dents that only add to their menacing presence. The black paint on the armor is carefully maintained, and the armor is heavy, yet their immense strength allows them to wear it with ease. • Weapons: The Black Guard are armed with long, heavy maces forged specifically for them. These almost as tall as a man, have broad, vicious flanges designed to cleave through both armor and flesh with terrifying efficiency. In their other hand, they carry large black shields emblazoned with the emblem of Hombori Tondo’s ruling powers. These shields are as much weapons as they are defense tools, capable of bashing and breaking bones with their weight. • Combat Style: The Black Guard fight with disciplined brutality. Their combat style focuses on overwhelming force and intimidation; they advance relentlessly, using their shields to absorb attacks and their maces to deliver powerful, crushing blows. They are skilled in shield bashes and close-quarters combat, able to knock opponents off balance with a single push or slam of their shield. In battle, they work together as a unit, moving in tight formations that make it difficult for opponents to get around or break through them. Their training emphasizes precise, lethal strikes, and they are adept at dealing with multiple opponents at once, making them formidable even when outnumbered. |
