Brand warband's greatest strength is that their shared goal and duty forges a unity unlike any other.

Together, they combine almost every aspect of Charr society:
Darius Brandbreaker was born Blood Legion, and was a Gladium when he joined.
Rorrvak Brandblade, Takan Brandcrush, and Sapphire Brandshift were born Iron Legion.
Ifrit Brandglow was born an Olmakhan.
Renae Brandgaze was born Ash Legion.
Lupa Brandblaze was born Ash Legion. Then joined the Dominion. Slid back to land with the Renegades. And only then got picked up by the Sentinels.
And Aidan Brandshaper was born Flame Legion, although he is now missing from Brand Warband's ranks since his passing.

All for one.
Blood. Ash. Iron. Flame. Olmakhan. Gladium. Dominion. Renegades.
And one for all.
Sentinels.

Together they stand, and protect Ascalon.
A First Founding warband as the Sentinel Order was created, they are veterans that have weathered the worst times, and lived to see the end of Kralkatorrik.
But although the ancient enemy has been vanquished, and parts of the Crystal scar cleansed by Aurene before she got called away... their work is not done yet.
Far south, the danger is still alive, lingering in the remaining uncleansed areas. And up north, precious little is known yet what Aurene's crystals have done to the beings encased within.
So the Sentinels will keep walking.
Until their duty is done.


...that's not to say the warband, for all their professionalism, is above some pranks and messing with each other.
The longer one looks, the more one sees the little things.
They're still soldiers, after all.

Another full warband picture, this time not just as busts, but showing them all off properly in all their glory!
Wonderfully done in arduous detail by Moldypaw !
