Description
Lore
The Celestial Cataphractarii are the heavy infantry of Mount Celestia, named after the elite armored cavalry and shock troops of ancient legions. Unlike the disciplined frontliners or precise Sagittarii, the Cataphractarii are walking bulwarks of radiant firepower — tasked with breaking enemy lines, pinning down infernal swarms, and holding strategic chokepoints.
Each is clad in reinforced celestial plate, their radiant armor thickened and layered with divine inscriptions. They carry the Solar Rotary, a heavy, multi-barreled celestial blaster that channels focused beams of holy light in rapid bursts. When a Cataphractarii opens fire, it sounds like a choir of trumpets — the unmistakable roar of divine judgment.
They stand in the center of the formation, anchoring allied lines and shepherding the advance of Legionnaires. Their radiant fire is both protective and punishing, mowing down fiends while drawing the gaze of evil toward themselves.
