Beritra's soldiers, fully occupying regions like Katalam and Panesterra. Introduced in 4.0, they will confront the player in almost every instance and area around Balaurea.
Characteristics[]
They follow Beritra's orders, bow to the Dragon Lord wearing his colors with pride, black and blue. Similar to Beritra, they have bluish skins. Unlike Tiamat's, who mounted Pagatis, this army uses certain artificially strengthened tog-like creatures as mounts. However, some higher ranked commanders may use dragons instead. The Beritran army is also seen deploying previously unseen weapons, such as a modified rifle and war drums. Retrieved samples would later aid in the development of the Songweaver and Gunner classes.
After Tiamat's demise, several survivors were recruited. Although they still wear their old armor, they have been recolored to show their loyalty to the Dragon Lord of Darkness.
They are present in every region of Katalam and other parts of Balaurea. They have also set foot and claimed other alternative dimensions and parts of Reshanta.
Recently they were pushed to the outskirts of the Upper Abyss by Ereshkigal's legions. Their sudden collapse surprised the Daevas. Nevertheless, Asmodian and Elyos forces still see them as possible threat.
Unlike Tiamat, Beritra possesses no hate towards sapiens. He is willing to recruit them if needed on his search for power. This is shown in Raksang Ruins or Drakenspire Depths, as his trained minions are following his orders.
History[]
Conquering Atreia[]
Tiamat had managed to control Katalam, Danaria, Idian Depths and Levinshor through sheer force. However, her troops were easily defeated by Beritra's forces after the loss of their leader. Several remnants, scattered throughout Balaurea, voluntarily joined the team with the upper hand. They were accepted by Beritra, and, along the rest of the soldiers, were ordered to slay anyone who opposed to their advance, whether it was Elyos, Asmodian or their own kin.
