Story[]
Never-ending Civil War[]
Added after arriving at Eisen Bridge for the first time in Chapter 3
Drawn primarily from the ranks of devout Crystalists, the Shieldbearers are Eisenberg's official main military force. Originally the military force was founded in order to protect the Fire Vestal and the Fire Crystal, but over time it split into two semi-separate factions, the Shieldbearers who maintained their original task unchanged, and the Swordbearers who were instead tasked to protect Eisenberg's borders from foreign invaders. Eventually, the Swordbearers began harboring desires to expand their nation's borders and conquer other lands, as well as Anticrystalism beliefs, both of which were denied and largely ignored by the Shieldbearers.
Ultimatly four years ago, the Shieldbearers suffered a bitter defeat in the Swordbearers' sudden, bloody uprising lead by their cowardly commander Yewmire Astrae, which was then aided by a powerful mercenary force, arms from foreign lands, and the use of a toxic mist weapon. The group is now commanded by Daniel Goodman, who is barely holding back the Swordbearers' advance across the Eisen Bridge.
