The elite of the elite. The top echelons of the Shimmering Spears are the battlemages. Combining the strengths of knights and mages with none of the weaknesses. Each battlemage has mastered every fighting stance for every weapon that has taken centuries of practice to complete.
Handpicked by the Great Lady Cinva Rimescale, battlemage hopefuls not only embody the values of the Rimescales but additionally are pureblood. Only in the rarest exceptions can a draconian from outside the Rimescale Clan enroll into the battlemage program.
Although becoming a Battlemage will bring a level of glory unfathomable to yourself it is also thought to be a death sentence. Being the best, they are given the worst assignments in the Shimmering Spears. The Rimescale Clan operates the smallest of the Royal Clan’s military forces and is spread amongst the Endless Void. Battlemages are sent, often alone, to ensure Rimescale interests are protected. Each battlemage must be an army for they often must take on entire hordes or quell rogue magisters.
Having a battlemage assist you in a campaign is a great honour that should not be taken lightly. Their greatest strength comes from their very flexible abilities able to counter any possible threat.
