The statue fell to the ground, smashed into a thousand fragments, and flattened Emir Wazir the Cruel and his Black Scimitar Guard. During the fierce fighting around the temple, a violent earth tremor shook the building and dislodged the vast bronze statue of Myrmidia that was fixed on its topmost steeple. During the Crusades against Bandit Lord, Emir Wazir the Cruel and his Black Horde, threescore Knights from Dolfsburg lent their aid toward the recapturing of the Temple of Myrmidia in Krieger's Rest the southern seaport of the Known World. Largely unknown in the lands of the Known World, it was only through the strangest of chances that the Order's worship of that martial-minded goddess began at all.


This advantage can be a damage bonus against small targets, superior weight used to smash through lighter enemies, or an explosive attack from range that affects a large area.A relatively small order, the Knights of the Blazing Sun are also known as the Templars of Myrmidia because of their devotion to the warrior deity, Myrmidia.

Although few in number, the Reiksguard Knights are the most important part of the Emperor's army, for they are a symbol of the Empire's nobility and martial might. They ride fine destriers to war and the suits of gleaming plate armour in which they are clad are emblazoned with symbols of allegiance to the Emperor. As befits their prestigious role and elite status, the Knights are equipped with the very finest weapons and suits of armour available. As an Elector Count, the Emperor also has direct command of his own provincial army - which in the case of Karl Franz are the regiments of Altdorf and the Reikland - but it is the Knights of the Reiksguard that form the symbol of his military strength. The Reiksguard Knights are the personal army of the Emperor.
