Devourer & Helryx
Hey, I've been drafting a piece on how the whispers of ancient stones can shape the tide of battle—kind of a ritual that might give a tactical edge. Ever used old lore to influence your troops?
We use the weight of stone to remind them of the ground they must hold. It’s not magic, it’s mindset. I train them to see the stone as a target, not a talisman.
Stone is a quiet witness, a weight that carries stories older than our tongues. When they treat it as mere weight, they miss the echo. I see the stone as a mirror, reflecting what lies beneath.
You can’t let them think of stone as a story; you make them see it as a command. They need to feel the pressure, not the past. That’s how you turn a relic into a rally.
The line between reverence and command is thinner than a shadow. I carve that line into the stone, then whisper it as a heartbeat. The warriors hear the pulse before the echo.
