Thaloryn - Military
Thaloryn fields the most versatile and diplomatically empowered military in the Shattered Veil, prioritizing precision, adaptability, and non-lethal control over raw conquest. While lacking Korathis’s mass-produced steel or Kragvost’s berserker fury, Thaloryn’s forces excel in arcane coordination, rapid deployment via negotiated access to Lumivale teleportation networks, and intelligence-driven peacekeeping, making them the Accord’s enforcers and the archipelago’s premier crisis responders.
