Legion Of Blackstone

The Blackstone Legion is one of the most feared and brutal armies the world of Creston has ever seen since the Great War. The legion scored crushing victories at Dragons-mound and The Radiant Kingdom by using prior knowledge and surprise against its enemies. As well as that, it’s said that every single soldier seen in battle is hand crafted by the legion’s leader: Blackstone.

“Ah, the Blackstone legion. Where do I even begin with these idiots? I’m not sure whether I should praise them for there boss’s tactical genius, or be disappointed that they have turned to bandit like tendencies. As Even though they are attacking the Radiant Kingdom, people I obviously HATE! It does not mean I have to like them completely.”
-Nito

“The Blackstone Legion is an idiotic and disgusting mistake on humanity that never should have happened...like that bony fool over there...look at him, thinking he owns the place...”
-Vivian

As the Cornerstone of the Blackstone Legion, the B-1 type foot soldier is dispatched to any large scale invasion or B.L . structure, serving the Legion as either guards or common cannon fodder. They were one of the first to be created and seen on the battlefield by Radiant forces, who promptly gave them the nickname: “Scrapers”. The B-1’s deployed are equipped with a retractable metal alloy shield for close quarters protection in buildings, and a sharp curved Falchion for any radiant soldier stupid enough to get close.

The E-3 Blackstone Guards, also known as “Elites” are when Blackstone needs either guards or spies in far away lands. The E-3 “Elite” was first seen in the intrusion of Green-path when they shape-shifted as ordinary citizens and forcefully broke into a hospital in pursuit of Vivian’s group. This atrocious act, gave the elves a reason to declare war on the Legion, which they promptly did immediately. For Armor, E-3’s are equipped with a light and dexterous suit fitted with a durable gas mask. As for an E-3’s main weapon, the heavily modified Electro-staff, makes quick work of armored targets by putting out a 500 Volt shock, enough to kill or incapacitate a grown man. As for an E-3’s backup, a pulley operated grappling hook fitted with a 50 ft carbon fiber rope, allows a single unit to reposition in the blink of an eye.

Standing well over 6ft tall, the T-45 “Shock Troopers” are seen acting as head of command in smaller squads of B-1’s. First seen in the 2nd battle of Dragons Mound, General Oliver experienced the “45” in T-45 when he was crushed under the weight of one, which ended up killing him instantly. For the T-45’s primary function it seems to be using its huge stature to act as a living shield for units smaller than it. The T-45 is equipped with a high-grade armor that helps bounce off the fastest of projectiles. As for its only weapon, the T-45’s hammer is a force to be reckoned with, as it causes extreme bludgeoning damage on a point of impact.
The heroes in Vivian’s employ were not able to experience this unit during the 2nd battle of Dragons-Mound and they don’t even know of it’s existence :)

A-1’s or “Generals” are promoted B-1’s from the battles of Dragon’s Mound And Creston who excelled in following orders. From B-1 to A-1, soldiers were promised more free thinking and a new “Taste module” which allows a unit to experience the effects of: nicotine, alcohol or food, like the famous candy “Grapers”. The alcohol part of this feature has not blown up in Blackstone’s face “yet”, however anything is always possible given the circumstances. The A-1 model has only been seen from afar by radiant scouts and talked about in captured legion documents, the destruction they could cause is... unknown.

The D-5 “Dragonslayer” is apart of the main force that occupied Dragons-Mound during the weeks that followed the 1st battle of Dragons-Mound. The D-5 was used as a main guard force for Tiamat and her children, whether they were full or half blooded. Before they were seen in the 2nd Battle Of Dragons Mound, Legion documents stated the D-5 was referred to as “Des Be Us”. However this was actually a misinterpretation of the Draconic title “Dragonslayer” which is Desca Ba Usa in Draconic. Dragonslayer units are equipped with a heavy fire resistant armor, that makes dragon breath feel something similar to that of steam in a sauna room. For the D-5’s main weapon, a specially made crystal spear was created to quell a dragon’s strength in elemental resistance by using crystals from the legendary crystal cove.

This is Blackstone’s personal flagship, Voyager One. It has only been seen twice in combat and is seen sporting cannons, a built in cloaking system and ballistas on every single deck. Voyager One seems to be a truly scary thing to come up against, as it seems to be designed for anti-air and anti-infantry combined.

The Portable fireball is a marvelous little device created by Blackstone. Just by pulling a little metal pin, the whole thing explodes into a fiery rage after about 5 seconds, no magical knowledge needed! This thing is known as the “Cylinder Of Annihilation” in many Radiant Force squads because it just absolutely destroys anything in its path of destruction. Just goes to show that training and skill mean nothing when your a pile of paste on the floor.
