Old Ironclad Soldier

Description


Originally, Ironclad Soldiers were minions created by the Old Iron King with an enchantment of souls. The enchantment is long gone and the iron husk that remains is quite decrepit. The soldiers who don this armor now never speak, and no one has seen their faces. Could it be that King Vendrick of Drangleic revived these ancient creations, or perhaps he produced war golems of his own?1

One day, warriors wearing decrepit armor
emerged from Drangleic castle, and quietly
assumed positions among the royal army.

Not one of them ever spoke a word,
or revealed the face under the mask.
