Carnival of War

Overview

The Carnival of War is a circus-based faction who are aligned with the Resistance in Praetoria. They are a faction of the Carnival of Light which believes that immediate action must be taken against the Talons of Vengeance no matter the cost, rather than building up Carnival forces for an overwhelming assault, and they have pulled in what remains of various broken groups including the Praetorian versions of the Midnight Squad and the Legacy Chain. Their de facto leader is Cerulean, a former member of the Midnight Squad before it was decimated and drafted into the Carnival of Light.

Their Primal Earth mirror is the Carnival of Shadows.

Bosses

Mistress of War

The Mistresses are extremely powerful sorceresses and mystics, able to twist magical energies into a diverse selection of abilities. With few exceptions, they are the most talented mystics in the Carnival of War, and form the core of its leadership. They represent some of the most loyal of Vanessa's original followers, and they would return to the fold if only she would see things as they do.

There does not appear to be any Mistress's of War. There is, however, female Ermites of War that use a female model and costume that is equivalent to the female Mistress's of from the Carnivals of Shadow, Light and Vengeance

Armor of War

Brought to life my magical incantations retained by the former Midnight Squad and nearly lost to history, these animated golems serve as powerful guardians and sentries for the Carnival of War, a faction of the Carnival of Light which believes that immediate action most be taken against the Talons of Vengeance no matter the cost, rather than building up Carnival forces for an overwhelming assault. Constructed from scattered pieces of armor found around First Ward, the technologically advanced war machines make use of powerful tech swords which can fire bursts of energy at a target from range or rapidly cut them down in melee.
