The Martyrs of Korlis was a group of young idealists from Korlis who were slaughtered by the Fallaji during the Brothers' War.
History
They were noteworthy for both their youth and the fact that they were not in the pay of anyone else. Instead, they were true patriots of their nation, the sons and daughters of merchant lords. Their deaths electrified the southern of the two Combined Kingdoms and demanded an outcry to the king to take action immediately. A full army of Argivians and newly patriotic Korlisians headed south and west, backed by ornithopters, Yotian soldiers, a variety of avengers, triskelions and, for the first time in battle, the four-part flying creature called the tetravus. These legions spilled over the borders and into occupied Yotia.[1]
4000 years later, a man named Nazarius, a fanatic with misty eyes, led a band of the Martyrs of Korlis in the wizard-hunting army of Gull. They had given the name to themselves, and no one else in the army knew what it referenced. These Martyrs lived only to die in battle, and they were always the first to throw themselves into the fray. They fought like mad dogs, refusing to surrender or fall back, terrified the enemy, cared little for their injuries and proved to be formidably effective in breaching the opposing ranks.[2]
