Apostles
From BelegarthWiki
General Information
Started in the Summer of 2009, the Apostles are the elite striker wing of Salamandastron, specializing in aggressive maneuvers, such as flanking, breaking shield walls, and assaulting archer nests.Each member of the Apostles is prized for their individualized ingenuity, as well as their seamless transition into squad-level formations. In addition, each member is expected to meet or exceed a level of physical ability, above and beyond the threshold of normal Salamandastron fighters.
- As such, acceptance into this unit is allowed only after a test of trial, observed by at least two Apostles which includes the following trials-
- Performing 1000 Shoumen Cuts with a weighted Suburi To weighing 32 oz.
- Performing three sets of ten Eighty pound arm curls in between two sets of 120 lb squat lifts
- Performing a bench press of weight equal to half of one's body weight
- Maintaining a running gait for at least half a mile while wearing 40lbs of steel armor
- Sprinting 50 yards in under ten seconds while wearing 40 lbs of steel armor
- Spirit Quest with all members of the Apostles upon satisfaction of previous tests
- Completion of these requirements yields the granting of the Apostles belt sash, as well as a suit of Apostle Armor and appropriate weapon, crafted by Sieglatan, made in the visage of one's True Id form.
