Insurmountable Bulwark of Stability

Type: Common Warstrider
 
Rating: •••

Magical Material: White Jade

Attuned: Cathak Garan

Insurmountable Bulwark of Stability is a Common Warstrider of White Jade, with heavy armour plates overlapping its exterior. Separated from the essence flows powering the artifact, these plates have not been repaired or replaced in the traditional manner, but rather had their cracks and craters filled with Gold and Steel, resulting in a strange and distinctive pattern declaring every injury it has survived in its centuries of service. Four banner poles jut from its back, now hung with orange banners displaying the mon of House Cathak. Its primary armament is not artifice but mundane, a massive greataxe in the style of those wielded by Imperial Legions heavy infantry. While the 1st Legion had no lack of access to warstrider-scale artifice through its centuries serving as Imperial Garrison, the mundane weapons wielded by Insurmountable Bulwark of Stability are due to an attempted innovation by its Shogunate Era designers: the warstrider's maintenance requirements are measured in days, not hours. A consequence of this is disruption to essence flows through the warstrider near the surface of its armour, which has the benefit of allowing for the simpler repairs which give the machine its unique appearance, is that its pilot cannot benefit from attunement to any artifact wielded by the warstrider. Such artifacts in the hands of Insurmountable Bulwark simply function as if they are unattuned (and cannot BE attuned when so held).

Insurmountable Bulwark of Stability is currently attached to the 1st Imperial Legion Warstrider Talon 5th Warstrider Fang. It is piloted by fanglord Cathak Garan.
