A new player character race with two classes has been unlocked.
Kesh-Ardun Warrior: Forgers of Ruin
Among the Kesh-Ardun, the Warriors are the unrelenting edge of a people forged in Vesh-Muric’s crimson wastes—a tempest of copper and fury, tempered by the harsh winds of a dying planet. With their bald heads gleaming under the twin moons and their jade or turquoise eyes blazing, they are not the towering savages of untamed wilds nor the weathered sellswords of distant wars. They are the Kesh-Ardun’s steel heartbeat, born from the Kor-Vesh citadels where the air hums with the sacred Pulse. These are not warriors of noble banners or poetic ideals, but brutal craftsmen of survival, their lives a hymn of metal and blood sung to keep Vesh-Muric alive.
Their weapons—retractable swords of memory-metal, glass-daggers that hum with radium heat, or jagged knives pried from the husks of Green Men raiders—are extensions of their relentless will. The Kesh-Ardun shun cumbersome polearms, favoring compact blades that dance in their deft hands, suited to the tight tunnels and shattered ruins they defend. Unburdened by the musings of the Zar-Kesh or the delicate artistry of the Forge Lords, Warriors answer only to the clash of steel and the rhythm of combat, carving paths through foes with raw, unyielding might. They fight not for glory or gold, but to protect the forges, to honor The Pulse, and to revel in the primal thrill of battle beneath a sky that offers no mercy.
Unlike the polished Crimson men warlords, a Kesh-Ardun Warrior wears their scars as a testament, their copper skin etched with the tales of every duel. Their armor, when they deign to wear it, is a patchwork of Overlord alloys and desert-toughened hides—trophies torn from the wrecks of Mindok’s minions or the claws of Amber Men spiders. Hardship has honed their instincts; countless skirmishes have sharpened their reflexes. In battle, they surge forward like a radium spark igniting the dark—unhesitating, unwavering, a force of unbreakable resolve that leaves only ruin in its wake.
Some Warriors rise beyond mere bloodshed. In time, they charge into danger with a fearlessness that defies the desert’s terrors. Their presence becomes a bronze heart, steadying those around them in the chaos. From the relics of The Before, they forge primitive suits of power armor, humming with Overlord tech, a fusion of craft and combat. And the mightiest among them draw others—Warriors, Delvers, craftsmen—to break from the citadels, forging new settlements in Vesh-Muric’s unforgiving expanse, a defiant echo of The Pulse carved into the sand.
