The Swordbreakers are an Stel Apostolos squad blessed by the Divine Commitment and led by Cas'alear Rizah.
The Swordbreakers are known for being legend killers hitting above their weight class by targeting major figures in Stel Kesh, and specifically Elects.[1] The unit has significant political importance within the Divine Principality, as their squad leader, Cas'alear Rizah, is the adopted sibling of Dahlia, the Apokine and Glorious Princept.
Zig'ell Barbos spent years serving as Cas'alear Rizah's confidant and lieutenant in the Swordbreakers before being promoted and transferred into service directly under the Divine Motion.[2]
History and Involvement[edit | edit source]
PARTIZAN[edit | edit source]
The Swordbreakers are present for the crash of the Divine Past, fighting with the Oxblood Clan in Obelle before both groups receive a warning from Valence and evacuate the soon-to-be crash site. After the crash they meet with the Rapid Evening to discuss the return of the bodies of Past and Cymbidium. When Clementine Kesh threatens to bring troops into Obelle if they are not able to recover the pieces of Past, Cas’alear Rizah acquiesces, not wanting to bring further violence on Obelle.[3]
The official Kesh stance on the events in Obelle are that the Swordbreakers were the ones who killed the Divine Past.[4]
