Infernal Ironsworn

The elite amongst the Guard form the Infernal Ironsworn who protect the Sorcerer-prophets that command the Legion of Azgorh. [1a] They wield a variety of axes, warhammers, and shields in combat.[2]

Tennents

Members of the cult swear to defend the fortress until death and to carry out the will of its lord without question.

Should they achieve great glory, these masks can be removed, revealing the scared and seared flesh beneath. [1a]
