History
The history of the Gold Sword, led by the enigmatic Great Gold Wyrm Astarot, spans back countless ages, shrouded in mystery and legend. Originating from the distant realm of Abeir, this celestial gold dragon rose to prominence, amassing unimaginable power whose origins remain a subject of speculation and awe. In the realms of Abeir, the Gold Sword emerged as a quasi-religious order, embodying the ideals of justice, righteousness, and protection. Tasked with the vital role of maintaining peace and safeguarding the innocent from the tyranny of evil dragons, the Gold Sword stood as a beacon of hope for the oppressed and vulnerable. Their sworn duty compelled them to tread a delicate path, serving their righteous mission while ensuring they did not incur the wrath of the draconic imperial lines that held dominion over Abeir.
As a military force, the Gold Sword faced numerous challenges, often finding themselves engaged in conflict with rebel factions that strayed from the noble path, descending into tyranny or criminality. With unwavering determination, they confronted these threats, seeking to restore balance and order to the lands they swore to protect. The Gold Sword's influence spread far and wide, their presence felt throughout the realm as a force of righteousness and strength. However, the tides of fate shifted dramatically when the cataclysmic event known as the planar convergence occurred, wrenching their home and several of their cherished holdings into the enigmatic and tumultuous Shifted Lands. This convergence of realms brought about chaos and upheaval, disrupting the very fabric of existence. Despite this upheaval, the Gold Sword stood resolute, adapting to their new reality with an unwavering commitment to their mission.
Now, finding themselves in an unfamiliar and volatile realm, the Gold Sword has transformed into a powerful mercenary army, seeking to restore a semblance of order in the land surrounding them. In a world seemingly tearing itself apart, they stand as a stalwart force, offering their services to those in need, striving to bring stability and justice amidst the turmoil. The legend of Astarot and the Gold Sword lives on, their reputation as valiant protectors resonating across the Shifted Lands. Though the path ahead is fraught with uncertainty, the indomitable spirit and unwavering resolve of the Great Gold Wyrm and their devoted followers continue to shine brightly, lighting the way for those seeking hope and salvation in a world consumed by chaos.
