Orodvylian – Vanguard Arcane Golem

When the Orodwys was first developed for combat capabilities, it was designed in mind as a heavy hitting artillery construct that mostly stayed in the mid to backlines of a battle. Many Elves on the front lines still lost their lives, and if the Orodwys was sent to the front it usually did not fair well. To counter this, the Orodvylian was constructed as an alternate model. This model was made specifically to be a frontline fighter and vanguard, though made with weaker materials than the Orodwys for how disposable it was made.

Still, it was given a fearsome appearance designed to startle and strike fear into the hearts of enemy combatants on the battlefield. Although this worked exceptionally at the start of the Liturium War, the Coalition forces quickly realised that the Orodvylian were easier to take down than their smaller counterparts that fired arcane missiles from the back lines. Doubly so after the Golden Griffins had turned against their High Elven allies and shared much of Leacianus’ military intelligence they held.

Now only the greenest grunts fear the Orodvylians, but it doesn’t stop the Leacianans from mass producing the unit and sending it against the frontlines of the coalition forces. Each one is still worth the weight of a dozen armoured men.
