THE OBSIDIAN VANGUARDS 

The Obsidian Vanguards are the Dominion’s answer to holy warriors. Once noble defenders of Dwarven halls, they were twisted by the doctrine of Asubah and the corruptive power of Blackrock. Clad in heavy blackened plate armor etched with runes of shadow, they wield massive two-handed axes infused with darkness. Their presence on the battlefield is a harbinger of despair—where light falters, they thrive. Like all Dark Dwarves, they worship Asubah, God of Justice and Darkness, embracing his doctrine of absolute control and retribution. See themselves as “purifiers” who burn away weakness and false light.
