Woldwyrd firing a powerful beam of energy at the enemies of the Blackclads
The Woldwyrd is a type of wolds used as light warbeasts by the Circle Orboros mainly to hunt down enemy magic wielders. The woldwyrd was designed to be a small but potent sentinel, calibrating every inch of its rune-covered surface to tap directly into the invisible lattice of ley lines surging beneath the soil. A woldwyrd floats silently above the earth, its large polished orb of pure beryl pulsing green like a wrathful eye. This glow can brighten in an instant to a blinding intensity, just before the stone unleashes a deadly beam potent enough to sear flesh, melt iron, and end lives in a blaze of emerald fire. A woldwyrd can also project an aura making enemy magic difficult to cast at all. [1][2]
Regardless of the occult mastery, priestly sanctity, or arcane strength of the enemy all fall before the merciless fire of the woldwyrds. In ancient times woldwyrds hunted Menite priests, who burned anyone that manifested the wilding. The expanding battles of the druids of Orboros have prompted the construction of more of these sentinels. Many blackclads value them as versatile tools against those who would dare contest the Circle for mastery of the wilderness.[1]
